Ignorance is bliss.

This has nothing to do with the topic at hand. because thats mainly a african traditional thing, using your same source. basically this a traditional african thing and really has nothing to with Saudi Arabia
What religion is associated with FGM?
And although FGM is often perceived as being connected to Islam, perhaps because it is practiced among many Muslim groups, not all Islamic groups practice FGM, and many non-Islamic groups do, including some Christians, Ethiopian Jews, and followers of certain traditional African religions.
FGM is practised predominantly within certain Muslim societies, but it also exists within some adjacent Christian and animist groups. The practice isn't required by most forms of Islam and fatwas have been issued forbidding FGM, favouring it, or leaving the decision to parents but advising against it.
