This sounds like one culture interferring with another. Cough "George W Bush" cough cough "Iraq" cough cough.

poor comparison:

1. Look at the proposal, we're not forcing anything by illegalising the pratice.
2. We're not attacking people, we're trying to stop them effectively attacking females.

Are you seriously claiming that we should simply turn a blind eye to this kind of practice because it's cultural? If people were mutilating girls and women without the excuse of culture or religious tradition, I imagine you would have no problem condemning it. Why should this be any different?

Stick to the thread that already exists. This point has been made and debunked many times in it:
