Of course they do. There are religious exemptions for everything. This seems to be a very important part of being whatever religion these people are to the point that they travel from all over for this rite. Government should not be able to stop it.
Slippery slope alert. What if the religious rite involved human sacrifice? Should the government be able to stop it? I fall on the side of if your religious rite involves harming others without their consent, it’s not allowed.

What exemptions for religious purposes that go against written law, I cant think of any.
Practicing Latter Day Saints can not legally marry multiple women.
Some religious groups are forced to seek medical attention for minors when they dont believe in modern medicine.
No niqabs for photo IDs

Almost all Women's rights groups, Human rights groups, the WHO, and others, are against this practice and consider this Buchery. It has no place in Western culture.

Hint for idiots: If a woman is getting off, she is MORE likely to want MORE sex.
Yes indeed. Such has been my experience. But in the case of FGM it's the woman's lack of gratification that is the goal. This is an Islamic thing (yea huge surprise I know) and only men are supposed to have sexual gratification and the woman is merely a tool. Whether or not she wants to have sex doesn't even figure in.
He husband strolls in, orders her to present herself, he does his thing and flops down on his prayer rug. Or whatever. If this is actually painful for the woman (which it more often than not is) all the better. The prophet has decreed women as "unclean" anyway so this is part of her penance for the unforgivable crime of having been born female.
It's a brutal, backwards, deliberately cruel and sadistic practice and any "doctor" in this country who performs it should he strung up. Tall tree short rope skittish horse. This is NOT a first amendment issue. As a religious practice this is akin to human sacrifice. Yesss, I know that male circumcision is comparable but that is a separate issue. I'm not arguing on that topic so I ask that be taken into account.
This is I believe a more prevalent practice with Islamawackos in countries such as Somalia, Nigeria et all. The more African Islamists. But it is done regularly throughout the whole Islamic world. Doctors here in the US that perform this sadistic ritual most often try to defend themselves on religious grounds. Guess what, religious freedom has limits. It is no defense in such cases. It is a barbarous witch doctor ritual and is illegal here for a reason. Go back to Somalia or whatever Islamist $h!thole you were spawned in if you want to practice it.
We don't do things like that here in the US. Leave those girls alone!!
And in other news, thousands of new born baby boys are circumcised in this country daily.
Not the same thing at all. And you must know that.
