It appears a decent Immam sent the following about female circumcision, I WAS COMPLETELY RIGHT:

Circumcision was a cultural thing, since thousands of years before Islam. Prophet Mohammed did not prohibit it and did not require it. There is no evidence that Prophet Mohammed himself was circumcised. Muslims continue the practice because Prophet Mohammed circumcised his grandsons on the eighth day (Jesus also was circumcised on the eighth day). However, it is not a requirement for becoming a Muslim.

A person becomes a Muslim when he says 'There is no God besides God, and Mohammed is his messenger.'

When Prophet Mohammed was told that some people did female circumcision, he prohibited the practice saying that women derived pleasure through that part and it should not be removed. Hence Muslims do not practice female circumcision.

Some Christian tribes in Egypt still practice female circumcision as part of their culture. Nothing to do with Islam. - Your Imam (Islamic Cleric)

My response: I knew Muslims did not circumcise women, and it will be very important to make this point extremely clear, because the Jewish community is now trying to make the world believe Muslims are savages and that they do this to women for the sole purpose of getting people to support a war against Muslims. This is why I came out so strongly on the topic, the lie must be firmly smashed or the war mongers just might get what they want.

Thank you for writing this, and making it clear. I must also make something else clear: Absolutely anyone can declare themselves to be an Islamic cleric and then issue fatwas that are not Islamic, to bash the image of Islam into the sewer. Just because someone says they are an "Immam" or Cleric or whatever in Islam does not mean anyone should believe what they say, real Immams study for that position and do not spew absolutely insane B.S. and if you sent a message like this you are obviously real.
