But I do know that he says he had no drive to prove anything either way in chapter one. By the end of the book though, he was pretty much against the practice/ritual. He used biblical accounts for the sanctifying justification, but the early hebrew practice is described in historical, not biblical terms.

He does describe the 4 degrees/kinds of FGM, which is what most people do not know. It is generally assumed to be only one kind, total removal of the clitoris and sewing up of the vaginal opening. Truly brutal, but it is the rarest of them... which in my opinion they all are, including "nicking".

For somebody not interested in the subject, you seem to know quite a bit about this author.:shrug:
