Government restrictions on religion and social hostilities involving religion increased in 2015 for the first time in three years, according to Pew Research Center's latest annual study on global restrictions on religion.

The share of countries with "high" or "very high" levels of government restrictions – i.e., laws, policies and actions that restrict religious beliefs and practices – ticked up from 24% in 2014 to 25% in 2015. Meanwhile, the percentage of countries with high or very high levels of social hostilities – i.e., acts of religious hostility by private individuals, organizations or groups in society – increased in 2015, from 23% to 27%. Both of these increases follow two years of declines in the percentage of countries with high levels of restrictions on religion by these measures.

Among the world's 25 most populous countries, Russia, Egypt, India, Pakistan and Nigeria had the highest overall levels of government restrictions and social hostilities involving religion. Egypt had the highest levels of government restrictions in 2015, while Nigeria had the highest levels of social hostilities.

    The worst, which are very common include cutting off the labia and clitoris.

    You're confused by feminist propaganda. Besides that one incident with, who was it, Boko Haram? a while back in Africa, citation or it didn't happen.

    What can and does happen is that a clitoral cut becomes infected, necessitating the removal of additional tissue. That was the reasoning behind the American Academy of Pediatrics' 2010 recommendation that US hospitals should begin performing clitoral slicing/pin-prick. It was meant as a harm-reduction measure.

    Feminists have hopelessly fucked this issue up. They tell lies about female circumcision to activate your instincts to protect the Hunnies, and they act like male circumcision is not only risk-free but necessary to prevent cervical cancer (again, protect the Hunnies because males are nothing more than sexual objects even as infants).

    You know what, though? Not a single goddamned feminist knows what it's like to live with a fucked up circumcision. There are males born right here in West who have lost their entire reproductive system because of circumcision. Cock, balls, whole nine yards. Went in for a "snip," left as a eunuch.

    But hey, if somebody fucks up your circumcision enough, I hear they'll let you into the womyn-born-womyn gender caste [latimes.com].

    R.I.P. David Reimer, a victim of male genital mutilation in a horrifying way that somebody cisgendered cannot even begin to imagine.

    > You're confused by feminist propaganda.

    Besides Wikipedia, I do indeed reserve my FGM-porn intake exclusively from official feminist agencies based in countries ruled by rabid feminist women:

    their entire reproductive system... Cock, balls, whole nine yards

    This got me thinking... why-oh-why those emails in my spam folder advertise only 12 inches of reproductive system if 9 yards are the norm?
