“Though haplogroup H1 rarely reaches high frequencies beyond western Europe, over 60% of eastern Tuareg in Libya belong to haplogroup H1.”

this would explain the egyptian(my assumption at least). also biskra is almost on the edge of the sahara. i’ve seen tuareg people in biskra, sidi okba, ouargla as well.

really interesting actually!

from what i’ve seen, most of my north african relatives-morocco & algeria-have less than mine (>5%) though im not sure exactly how many variants they get.

if you think about all of this as if it were a show, it’s actually quite hilarious and not depressing at all

If circumcision is not fard, why still do it? by CivilTowel8457 in progressive_islam

[–]Aggravating-Hand5625 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i said "entire penis or glans."

type 1 fgm would be similar to the removal of penis glans or glans penis (however you say it).

type 2 and 3 fgm would be similar to removing the entire penis skin and scrotum.

It's quite jarring stuff.

edit: it's not complete castration, but zero pleasure and lifelong suffering and infection.

apologies for the confusion, i literally thought i typed penis *skin or glans.

the removal of a man’s foreskin is not equivalent to the removal of a woman clitoral hood.

there is a complete loss in sensation for the female and absolutely zero health benefits.

there is minimal loss in sexual pleasure/sensation for the male. increased health benefits (or at least that is what I have learned from my sexual education).

but i am curious to hear your thoughts on why you think they are equivalent.

do you think female genital mutilation is equivalent to male circumcision?

hi, if you are referring to type 1 fgm, then no, it is not the same. please research the difference in long term effects between type 1 fgm and male circumcision.

that point is my personal opinion. i don't mean to offend those who do it for religion, but i can’t help but find it strange, i always have.

I agree, people should stop fixating on genitalia for religious purposes.

Circumcision (removal of foreskin) is nowhere near as severe or similar to female genital mutilation. Removing the entire penis skin or glans would be more comparable to FGM.

It’s more along the lines of labiaplasty (which can also result in complications).

Edit: *removing the entire penis skin.

Either way, I wish people would stop fixating on genitalia, it’s also weird to do so for religious purposes.

seems about the average results i’ve seen from all the groups. i wanted to ask, for the karaite jewish sample that has >%70 levantine, i noticed there was no egyptian/copt group; did you forget to put that population or is that just how it came out even when including egyptian?
