Yep, don't see anyone disagreeing with dhaj on this. I'm not sure I've ever heard anyone defend FGM so as not to offend either.[/quote]
In US academia (at least in some places), FGM is presented as reflecting the values of a particular culture, and as such we (the West) aren't in a position to "condemn" it. While I agree with such a stance in principle, I think it some cases, the wrongness of an action is so apparent that attempts at political correctness are counter-productive.
