A young girl barely entering puberty undergoes “breast ironing” as her chest is bound to prevent it from properly developing.
Because Muslims are committing mass kidnappings, rape, and
torture of young girls, desperate mothers have begun doing something
unspeakable to their little girls to protect them from having to suffer
as an Islamic child bride or sex slave.
Due to Boko Haram’s rise in power and reach, mothers in
Cameroon are so fearful for their daughters’ honor, they’ve resurrected a
barbaric tradition of mutilating young girls’ developing breasts.
The painful ritual involves “flattening” girls’ maturing
breasts with hot irons or stones to prevent their natural development as
the children reach puberty. The goal is to make their daughters
undesirable to the Boko Haram fighters who often kidnap, rape, marry,
and impregnate local girls.
In an interview with Philip Obaji Jr., a young girl named Grace
Tchami shared the unimaginable suffering that girls in the area are
forced to endure, according to
The Daily Beast.
At the first signs of puberty, 9-year-old Grace’s mother began the breast flattening ritual. Ever morning,
her
mother would take a heavy stone pestle that she used for grinding food,
heat it over an open fire, and press it on Grace’s chest. The procedure is so painful that Grace’s older brother had to hold her legs so she couldn’t get away.
Grinding pestles and stones are heated over coals to literally “melt away” fatty breast tissue.
“The process of breast ironing requires the use
of any metal, including wooden sticks, pestles, spatulas, spoons and
rocks,” said Maryam, a Cameroonian hairdresser now based in Ikom. “The heat from these tools is expected to melt the fat on the breast, and stop it from projecting.”
After the 7 o’clock ritual, Grace was sent off to elementary school. This went on each morning for three months.
Now that Grace is 16, she is left with severe permanent scarring and
an even deeper emotional trauma from the experience. Still, she is only
one of 3.8 million women worldwide who are affected by breast ironing.
In its
2014 human rights report
on Cameroon, the U.S. State Department likened “breast ironing” to the
more prevalent practice of female genital mutilation. This “procedure to
flatten a young girl’s growing breasts with hot stones, cast-iron pans,
or bricks” has “harmful physical and psychological consequences, which
include pain, cysts, abscesses, and physical and psychological
scarring,” according to the report.
Family members restrain a young girl who attempts to flee the painful procedure.
However, the most recent cases of breast ironing in Cameroon are not
at all similar to the Islamic tradition of mutilating girls’ genitals to
deny them of ever desiring or experiencing sexual pleasure with their
husbands. On the contrary, these mothers are attempting to protect their
little girls from the sinister fate of being forcibly converted to
Islam and taken as a sex slave.
“I live in Tiko in the southwest but my daughter schools in Maroua in
the far north where terrible things happen, and I won’t take chances,”
said another Cameroonian mother. “If they [Boko Haram] don’t see her
breast, they won’t think she has come of age.”
Many are still reminded of the missing Chibok girls and the eight
children between the ages of 11 and 14, all of whom were abducted by
Muslim militants of Boko Haram. Most of the children were married off to
jihadists, while many others were slaughtered or used as
suicide bombers.
A mother presses a hot stone against her daughter’s chest, disfiguring her for life.
Like Boko Haram, the devout Muslims of the Islamic State take young
girls as “booty of war,” using them as brides or sex slaves. The
suffering is so great under the fundamental Caliphate that girls were
killing themselves and each other to escape the unbearable torture of
daily rape and abuse.
“Many girls lose hope when they are with ISIS and choose
suicide if they cannot find a way back,” Ameena Saeed Hasan, a former
Iraqi lawmaker, told
MailOnline.
“Ten days ago we helped one girl escape with her
children,” Ameena said, pausing to steady her emotions, “But the ISIS
fighter who abused her also killed her daughter. Her daughter was only
one year and five-months-old and he killed her right in front of her
eyes.”
Not only are ISIS fighters kidnapping and raping young
girls, but local Muslims are also following in their Prophet Muhammad’s
footsteps. After a revelation from Allah, Muhammad took young girls,
whose fathers and husbands he had beheaded, from the Banu Qurayza tribe
to his tent to sexually
consummate his ownership of them.
Muhammad kept the prettiest sex slaves for himself, but
urged his men to rape their slaves in front of the captive women’s
husbands, claiming it was Allah’s will if their slaves became pregnant
during the rape.
“We went out with Allah’s Messenger (may peace
be upon him) on the expedition to the Bi’l-Mustaliq and took captive
some excellent Arab women; and we desired them, for we were suffering
from the absence of our wives…
So we decided to have sexual intercourse with them
but by observing ‘azl (Withdrawing the male sexual organ before
emission of semen to avoid-conception). But we said: We are doing an act
whereas Allah’s Messenger is amongst us; why not ask him? So we asked
Allah’s Mes- senger (may peace be upon him), and he said:
It does not matter if you do not do it, for every soul that is to be born up to the Day of Resurrection will be born.” (
Sahih Muslim 3371)
It is appalling that these children have to suffer Islamic
tradition throughout the world simply because of one perverted
self-proclaimed prophet purported that he had a divine revelation.
However, what’s more deplorable is that the left seeks to legitimize
this sadistic militant-religious ideology and claim that it deserves
respect and tolerance.
There will never be peace as long as Islam remains a stain
upon the earth, and like these young girls, our children will be the
ones who suffer the most.
