many Gambian villagers see girls who are not cut as unclean, and unreligious. These girls often become social outcasts. No man will marry them

And then there was the sexual desire of women who still had clitorises, which many people in Bakadaji thought was a huge problem...Cutting girls prevented them from cheating on their husbands.

Religion/superstition is a cancer that needs to be eradicated.

If this is what it takes to makes things better, I will happily fight God
