Could you please read my comment and answer my concerns which I lay out there? I would much appreciate it.<br /><br />http://www.jihadwatch.org/2010/05/us-228000-women-have-undergone-or-are-at-risk-for-female-genital-mutilation.html#comment-671340<br /><br />(Note: in my comment, I mistakenly refer to Keller as a female.)<br /><br />Of special value would be a word-by-word literal translation into English of the original Arabic from the relevant passage in the Reliance of the Traveler: then we could see more clearly how Keller's translation is erroneous.<br /><br />You had you provided a picture of that passage in the original Arabic as part of your testimony documented in this pdf file:<br /><br />http://www.jihadwatch.org/dhimmiwatch/Witness%20Statement.pdfHesperadohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10394374828751466705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6673179650846701039.post-77663947127639878632010-05-24T17:48:25.969+10:002010-05-24T17:48:25.969+10:00Mark,
