Female circumcision used to be practised but is opposed by Christian beliefs, government legislation and international medical practitioners and welfare groups.

Famous quotes containing the word religion:
“I never saw, heard, nor read, that the clergy were beloved in any nation where Christianity was the religion of the country. Nothing can render them popular, but some degree of persecution.”
—Jonathan Swift (1667–1745)
