Okay, there are perverts who've assaulted kids but they are not the "norm" in Christianity. Abusing young girls though IS the norm in some other religions.

FGM is practiced among some adherents of the Muslim, Christian, and Jewish faiths. FGM is also practiced among some animists, who believe in the existence of individual spirits and supernatural forces. It is erroneously linked to religion, is not particular to any religious faith, and predates Christianity and Islam.
