I never understood the public outcry against this hotline.  This hotline was not meant to foment fear or anger against a specific group.  it was meant to give those within these groups a safe anonymous place to report crimes such as female circumcision, forced underage marriage,nor honour killings.  We do the same with Crime Stoppers and Kids Hotline.   You cannot easily anonymously report such crimes to the police, they usually want your name and number.  If such a hotline saves one child from having their genitals mutilated and suffering for life, or save one from an unwanted child marriage or "honour" killing, it is worth it.  I would have thought more Liberal minded people would support it.
