Oh for goodness sake. just no.
Of course the Torah and the Koran note it – it made sense when living in the desert in the middle east, with little water and lack of hygiene. So now it’s a religious tradition. I get all that.
But there is no need for it in our society, and it has nothing to do with religion as such – merely the location and time and situation of those people at that time – bit of perspective really helps there.
I wonder where/how the WHO came up with the “might help prevent AIDS” as that seems like a load of very dangerous bollocks.
And non-essential medical procedures on kids… I don’t care whether it’s under anaestetic – it’s wrong. If an adult wants to mutilate themselves, they can have that freedom. But don’t mess with kids, either physically or mentally. For me they have a right to personal integrity.
