'Gift'

A jihadi leader has ordered that all women aged from 11 to 46 years in Iraq undergo female circumcision, according to a United Nations spokesperson. A fatwa or edict asking all families around Iraq's northern city of Mosul to circumcise daughters within the specified ages or face severe punishment has been issued. Ahmed Obaydi, a spokesman of Mosul Police said, “Baghdadi’s decision to have all women circumcised is, as he claims, to prevent immorality and promote Islamic attitudes among Muslims. The decision was made by Baghdadi as a ‘gift’ for people in Mosul.”
