Years ago I remember the horror I felt reading of the betrayal that the women felt as their grandmothers & aunts held them down for FGM, fwiw that's not even Islamic supposedly more African cultural but to inflict that on your female offspring knowingly because Allah says

Ein milim.. Hebrew for no words

Your writing always challenges the mind. Thank you!

I don't see how Islam can be modernized, in order to do that, it would have to disavow its core teachings, the very purposes of Islam, and at that point Muslims might as well call themselves something else, start a new religion because it won't be Islam. To un-condition the minds of Muslim girls, they have to stop being taught the Quran. They have to stop being Muslims. I really don't see any other way.
