Where did you get this piece of writing? Sounds to me like originally ( if any of it is true) it was written by Iranian, Iraqi or Egyptian lady and then changed to a Moroccan one. First of all nobody in Morocco practising female circumsicion, secondly that is nothing to do with islam. This is only a cultural practise (disgusting , ancient method to control females by rejecting them any sexual pleasure). Also this is practised in some central, east and west African countries, where people are not even muslims. Did you notice as well not even one town in Morocco been mentioned, sounds to me like an author never even been to Morocco... I can find plenty examples in America and Europe, where children are beeing beatten, raped and neglected by their own families for years, women beeing abused, raped by their husbands. So please, don't write things like that and pretend that it's happening only in muslim families. Some people who doesn't know a lot about islam, muslim culture and never been to Morocco actually will believe this kind of nonsense.
