Yes, I see that your hypocracy doesn't stop with the muslim dress code.

Coulda fooled me.

One of the common misconceptions is to connect female circumcision with
the teachings of Islam. It may happen in an Islamic country, but then it
can't be said that it doesn't happen in christian countries as well.

See above.

Your English in-comprehension is showing again.

Unlike yourself, I don't worry who gets the upper hand, as long as I'm in
the right.
