Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, ISIS main leader, has commanded the female genital mutilation of two million Iraqi girls to “distance them from immorality,” Ibtimes reported.

Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi said that this decision is a ‘gift’ for women in Iraq. This will force Iraqi women to stay pure from ‘American immorality’.

This order has ignited outrage by human rights organizations, who said that genital mutilation exposes women to diseases.

Asil Jamal, civil rights activist, said: “When ISIS was first arriving in Iraq, people were warmly welcoming them, but as a result of ISIS’ horrendous wishes, especially forced female circumcision, it is becoming clear for people that these ISIS militants don’t know anything else except torture.”
