What you are telling me is that Islam has done little to stop the practice. This is not good, but Andy now tells us that Islam has called for an end to it. If it were an Islamic practice it would be going in in Indonesia. Is it?
You relying on andy for anything besides the best locations to shoot your heroin is putting faith in an idiot.
So sorry to destroy your naivete in believing anything he says because
it fits your multicultural delusions.

Indonesia (Type I and IV)
FGM is prevalent in Indonesia.[150][151][152] In certain communities of Indonesia, mass female circumcision (khitanan massal) ceremony are organized by local Islamic foundations around Prophet Muhammad’s birthday. Some FGM are Type IV done with a pen knife, others are Type I done with scissors. Two Indonesian nationwide studies in 2003 and 2010 found over 80% of Muslim girls are subjected to cutting, typically newborns through the age of 9. More than 90% of adults claimed they wanted the practice to continue.[151][153]
Historical records suggest female circumcision in Indonesia started and became prevalent with the arrival of Islam in the 13th century as part of its drive to convert people to Islam. In islands of Indonesia, where partial populations converted to Islam in 17th century, FGM has been prevalent in Muslim females only.[154][155] In 2006, FGM was banned by the government; however, FGM/C remained commonplace for women in Indonesia - the world’s largest Muslim nation.[156] In 2010, the Indonesian Health Ministry issued a decree outlining the proper procedure for FGM, which activists claim contradicted the 2006 ruling prohibiting clinics from performing any FGM.[157] In 2013, the Indonesian Ulema Council ruled that it favors FGM, stating that although it is not mandatory, it is still “morally recommended”.[158] The Ulema has been pushing Indonesian government to circumcise girls, claiming it is part of Islamic teachings.[159] Some Indonesian officials, in March 2013, claimed cutting and pricking type circumcision is not FGM.[160]
So, andy has been desperately trying to limit this by saying 'it's an African thing.'
It isn't, it is practised all over Africa, the Middle East, and Asia.
Which is just about the entire Islamic areas.
Open that link and look for yourself. I dare you.
Well, you are right.
It appears to be a little more complicated than you indicated but you were right. Circumcision can be a problem.
