Yassin Fatty, a traditional practitioner of female genital cutting in the West African nation of Gambia, became the first to be convicted there. But her case led to a backlash and a popular campaign to make it legal again.
many Gambian villagers see girls who are not cut as unclean, and unreligious. These girls often become social outcasts. No man will marry them
And then there was the sexual desire of women who still had clitorises, which many people in Bakadaji thought was a huge problem…Cutting girls prevented them from cheating on their husbands.

If this is what it takes to makes things better, I will happily fight God
