Ask a Rexdale Imam

Call me wacky... but isn't this sort of thing actually illegal in Canada?

"In this matter, it is wise to follow the interests of the female: if the clitoris is large, then part of it should be removed, otherwise it should be left alone. This size of the clitoris will vary from woman to woman, and there may be differences between those from hot climates and those from cold climates."

"The scholars’ opinions cited above should be sufficient explanation."

"And Allah knows best."
This seems to be a sort of Islamic "Miss Manners"... many other burning questions answered.

Not to be missed.

Dear Lauren:

The same way having your feet sawed off affects your ability to polka, as any of the estimated 30 to 75 million victims of this barbaric ritual can testify.

-- KANDAHAR, Afghanistan -- Two schoolgirls are in hospital with serious facial burns as doctors work to save their sight, after men on motorcycles sprayed acid in the faces of six teenage girls walking to school Wednesday morning.

A family member of one of the burned schools said there had been no warnings to stop sending their daughters to school.
