Dr.Saleha must be advocating female circumcision, not FGM

Huma's mother, Dr.Saleha Abidin may have been advocating the Islamic practice of female circumcision as against Female Genital Mutilation which is unislamic. These are two different things. The female circumcision which Islam requires is simply the removal of the prepuce of the clitoris (or hoodectomy as it is known in the US), which is a harmless procedure known to benefit women both in terms of genital hygiene as well as increasing sexual joy.
