wow this is interesting!!

On Twitter this person says he is Martese Johnson's roommate and that it was in fact Martese's real I.D. that he presented.

the ABC statement is so bad: "the arrested individual sustained injuries"

I'm a Muslim and I can personally vouch that I never had even heard of this procedure and there's no mention of it anywhere in Islam. If anything the most we are encouraged to do is get baby boys circumcised for medical purposes. It's stupid that anytime woman violence or abuse is mentioned in Middle East or Africa…

The title is misleading (if not an outright intentional lie.) The study appears to state that the *risk* of FGM has increased — NOT the actual numbers of FGMs performed.
