'The women of the Dawoodi Bohra community are deeply pained that we have come under scrutiny for our harmless practice of female circumcision (khafz)': @dbwrf https://t.co/lvhHV4cf1H

[DBWRF @dbwrf]

"Khafz, as practised by the Dawoodi Bohras, is very different from FGM. We have been practising khafz for the last 1,400 years and it is a harmless religious practice." - Samina Kanchwala in conversation with @the_hindu

His Holiness Syedna Mufaddal Saifuddin TUS regards cooking, especially making rotis, as a highly respectful job. He revolutionised the concept of making a roti by stressing how a simple act of making it and feeding one’s own family, and neighbours could bring people closer. (1/2)

@SpeakoutonFGM @jumana_skid @CuttingVoices @maminapawa @RanalviMasooma Have you ever been to this place ? Been a part of this congregation? Worn these clothes or offered prayers? You should use a background more familiar to you sister. #fakeactivists

Welcome to the club Alefiya. Right now being blocked by Sahiyos and their ilk is a badge of honor - you must be doing something right to get under their touchy skin

@EnayatHusain They blocked me! @SpeakoutonFGM @RanalviMasooma Why did you block me? Did my truth get on the nerves of your lies?

@SpeakoutonFGM @jumana_skid @CuttingVoices @maminapawa @RanalviMasooma Good. Showing your true colors. Look who's a troll now.. Mockery is all you know. #fakeactivists #fakeactivism

[Alefiya Husain @meflawesome]

@SpeakoutonFGM @jumana_skid @CuttingVoices @maminapawa @RanalviMasooma In the name of sensitising you've tormented & slandered us.. You've crossed all limits and we won't take anything quietly anymore, as you may have wrongly assumed. The only thing Dawoodi Bohra women need to be saved from are the lies you spread.

[Alefiya Husain @meflawesome]

@SpeakoutonFGM @jumana_skid @CuttingVoices @maminapawa @RanalviMasooma Wow!After all the slander and insult you threw at the community and it's women you say you LOVE US? You splashed our pictures across newspapers with bloody blades to create a false imagery in the minds of public. Is this how you show us your love? Oh please!

[Alefiya Husain @meflawesome]

@SpeakoutonFGM @ThePrintIndia Listen to yourselves! Have you considered that he has eventually given our side of story a fair thought? Everytime you are disappointed you start the blame game, take names and create sensationalism out of nowhere. Leave us alone,will ya?

@LRangwala @jumana_skid @YouthKiAwaaz @insia_dariwala @SpeakoutonFGM Why is holding faith so repugnant to u? If so that's the end of the argument you Do NOT believe so don't participate. Hv ideological differences by all means. Don't curtail our freedom to practice our faith! DONT Disenfranchise us.

[DBWRF @dbwrf]

The majority of the Dawoodi Bohra women, whom the PIL affects want the practice to continue and have associated with the DBWRF against the PIL which is an attempt to encroach the rights of the community.

@dbwrf People say that not performing Khafz leads to social boycott in the community, how true is this? Is the practice not voluntary? #FCisnotFGM

[Alefiya Husain @meflawesome]

@SabineZee @Commonsense62 Oh,you are mistaken ma'am. Khafz is only a nick on the prepuce and the clitoris is untouched!

[Alefiya Husain @meflawesome]

@SabineZee @Commonsense62 My brother was circumcised as part of our religious tenet and I have the same rights. Being the educated/ religious/ spiritual person that i am today, i am glad my parents chose it for us both. Khafz is not mutilation ma'am. I am not mutilated!

[Alefiya Husain @meflawesome]

@SabineZee @SpeakoutonFGM @Commonsense62 Ma'am as parents we make A LOT of choices for our children with thorough understanding. Beliefs & sentiments are one of them. If i am sure of something why should i deprive my child of it ? My Mom chose so many things for me too & I am so glad now:-)
