If you accept that a practice does not have to be universal to nevertheless still be a practice of Islam, then all your arguments really are invalid and irrelevant..
The fact that most Muslims don't practice has no bearing on the fact that FGM is a practice of Islam for many Muslims, as I have repeatedly shown.
The fact the argument you repeatedly resort to is that FGM is only practiced by s fraction of Muslims demonstrated that you are being dishonest here, otherwise you would use a different argument. But have repeatedly made false claims, such as no major text of Islam promotes female circumcision, which I have shown to be false. Sharia and Sunnah both qualify as major text of Islam
The fact you repeatedly used the argument that only a fraction of Muslims practice to counter my claim, and that since Muslims in other parts of the world fo not practice FGM, the practice of FGM in Indonesia cannot be an Islamic one proves what you are saying is not true. Your actions and arguments are claiming that since FGM is not universally practiced anong Muslims, it is not Islamic
I harp on Indonesia because it demonstrates, contrary to you claims, it proves the practice of FGM is one of Islam, at least for Indonesia. And since Indonesia is the largest Muslim country, it is not an insignificant fraction of Muslims that practice FGM for Islamic religious reasons.
It is you that repeating ignore the example of Indonesia. I did not ignore the other 3 countries you mention, I just pointed they were irrelevant to the debate.
FGM is only practiced by a tiny fraction of the world's population. According to your defective logic, FGM therefore is not a problem. That is not the case, even though only a fraction of the world practices FGM it is still a major problem.
And Muslims account for a disproportionately large percentage of those who practice FGM, and the reason many, most of these Muslims practice FGM is Islam. It us Islam, not just local cultural practices as you and many Muslims lying claim (By saying FGM is an Indonesian and not Muslim practice you are making that lie.)
I did not shy away from it, I just found them irrelevant.
What is interesting is that you did not respond to when I pointed you false claims that no major text of Islam promotes FGM. I gave links to both Sunnah and text of Sharia law, both which are major text of Islam.
So, let
And I repeat, your speculations are baseless and have no justification. Unlike among Muslims, where FGM is a religious practice, done for religious reasons, FGM among those African Christians who practice it is not religious. There is no reason to expect that African Christians would be able to impose their cultural practices on Indonesians. Muslims did not succeed in imposing Muslim languages or other non Islamic cultural practices on the Indonesians. Muslims were able to impose FGM on Indonesia because it was a practice of Islam, and was supported and still is by religious leaders of Islam
You are one guilty of hypocrisy and dishonesty. I did point out several major Islamic documents of Islam that supported FGM, while you have not done the same for Christianity, because you cannot. Text of Sharia law, such "Reliance of the Traveller" and of the Sunnah, which I even provided a link to, are major text of Islam. Countering truth with false claims as you did does not counter what I say
You have not made any attempt to explain "Sharia'. It cannot be denied that Sharia is Islamic religious law, nor that Muslims obey Sharia as part of their belief in Islam .
It is a lie to say Sharia is not part of the Islam religion, or that Sharia does not influence large numbers of Muslims
We have already established that a practice can be part of the religion of Islam even if it is not mentioned in the Quran. And schools of Sharia make FGM obligatory, not just recommended as you claim. And there are hadiths that do recommend FGM. The mete fact that hadith repeatedly recognized the practice of FGM without condemning it gives role models to encourage Muslim women to practice FGM.
The fact is that FGM is disproportionately by Myslims is precisely because if these major text of Islam such as Reliance of the Traveller and the Sunnah. You accuse these Sunnahs as being weak, without providing any proof to back up your claim.
Here are examples of Islam support for FGM
