“Those rotten Christians”

‘Did you happen to catch last night’s news item, as reported by the ABC, making the case that restorative surgery be made available to women who have suffered female genital mutilation (FGM)? Not a pleasant subject, admittedly, but interesting in this instance for the one victim the national broadcaster thought worthy of quoting.
A Muslim woman?
No, none of that. Reporter Thuy Ong led her report thus:

“Jools was a baby when her adoptive mother saw her touching herself and decided to cut her.
Her adoptive parents were ‘conservative Christian fundamentalists’, she says, and regularly abused her.”
Despite FGM being mostly a Muslim thing, with survivors in Australia hailing overwhelmingly from Muslim nations, nowhere in the report do the words “Muslim” or “Islam” appear. Instead, down at the bottom of the report, we get this — and do notice the coy, bland reference to “certain communities” (as opposed to those quite specifically referenced  “Christian fundamentalists”):
“For Jools, one of the pressing problems is the preconceived notion that FGM only occurs in certain communities.
FGM, she said, was a form of child abuse and can occur across society.”
Worth noting, perhaps, is reporter Ong’s professional history. Before joining the ABC she “reported for Al Jazeera”.         LINK

    I think that this nonsense has reached a certain saturation point in our society.

    There is nary a soul that would watch such a report and think to themselves “oh my, I never knew FGM was so prevalent in Christian communities”.

    This is just more fodder for the left wing outrage mob.

    That must be the same Fundamentalist Christians that groomed and sexually abuse all those girls in Britain…Oh wait…

      And the ABC is legally bound by its charter to be even-handed… the bastards are breaking the law every day with this garbage.

    Surely, this doesn’t surprise? I’ve tried to raise awareness in my community about FGM, and nobody CARES – even lesbians of my acquaintance. “We’ve” been thoroughly desensitized to the horrors that ‘Muslim influence’ brings. http://falfn.com/CrusaderRabbit/wp-content/plugins/wp-monalisa/icons/wpml_wacko.gif http://falfn.com/CrusaderRabbit/wp-content/plugins/wp-monalisa/icons/wpml_negative.gif
