If you want a good movie about the reality of the mafia (including a critique of the media portrayals of the mafia) - the Camorra in Naples (which has a different structure to other mafias like Cosa Nostra, the Sicilian mafia) - watch Matteo Garrone's Gomorra. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gomorrah_(film) The whole thing is filmed on location in one of Naples' most dangerous neighbourhoods and the actors are non-professional and grew up in the area, experiencing the themes in the film first-hand. In fact, one of the guys who played a clan boss in the film was later arrested because it turned out he was in the Camorra.

One of the central aspects of the movie is the influence media portrayals of the mafia have on actual gangsters, but also on how actual gangsters perpetuate this image in their own actions and create their own identity that is later replicated in film.

My degree is in French and Italian, we did some study of organised crime in Italy and our lecturer was a guy who also grew up in the same Neapolitan neighbourhood.

Why not both?

The 2 was for a valiant effort.

There is no mention of FGM in the Qur'an, Bible or Jewish biblical canon.

This is a cultural issue that mainly takes place in African communities including Christians, Jews and animists.

I mean, technically they have separate meanings but they come from the same root sentiment of fear / disgust towards things that are "different," and manifest in the same behaviour.
