Places We Cannot Compromise

Please follow this link to an article at NewsRealBlog posted today.  The article deals with the acceptance by the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) in the United States of a Muslim practice against women.   The practice is watered down, but is still approved by the AAP.  I understand the concept of reaching out to other cultures that choose to make their homes in America, but I believe we need to draw the line occassionally as to what we will permit.  I believe this is one of those times.  We cannot allow this practice in this country.  It is a betrayal of the idea that a doctor is there to heal.  It is a betrayal of the trust little girls place in their parents and in their doctors.  It needs to be made illegal and anyone who practices it needs to be arrested.
