lpv:translated text	". I gave my support to Mrs Muscardini’s report, or rather to the amended text as a whole, as obviously no sensible person can be anything other than filled with disgust on hearing of the gruesome genital mutilation of women and girls in – and I use this term with a complete lack of respect – backward cultures and religions. I do find it regrettable that the usual code words about ‘reproductive rights’ are being thrown in here again, even though they are not actually appropriate and probably only serve to get the politically correct left on board. What a right to abortion has to do with combating barbaric genital mutilation will remain a mystery to me. It would be better to take this opportunity to ask ourselves whether, for example, Islam adequately respects this fundamental value of the equality of men and women, and, if the answer is no, whether there should therefore be a place for Islam in our Europe."@en1
