You have no grounds for believing that cutting a 13 year old girl's clitoris off is wrong?
Sure, if you believe that female humans will never be worth anything and that family honor is more important than your own daughters.
Or executing a female because she was raped by an uncle?

I am not trying to justify what they do. In fact, nothing would make me more happy than to see these practices stopped. I'm just trying to point out that these "traditions" have deep roots. You have to attack the roots to kill the weeds.
