1. its a savage practice , done by a patriarchal society
rachel ,   usa   (07.15.08)
insecure and afraid of the power of women .....
2. Disgusting practice!
Joe ,   Ohio, USA   (07.15.08)
Abuse pure and simple. Sheer barbarism to satisfy some muslim short comings. If these people are so worried about the possibility of infidelity why don't they castrate their men that'll be fair and really solve the problem.
3. And they say the the jews are anti women

5. Islam Will Not Be Reformed for 1,000 Years
Claudia ,   Germany   (07.15.08)
Criminal assaults on young Muslim girls and women must be forbidden by law and heavily punished. Not punishing assaults on girls or women, which unfortunately are normal in their society means the state is collaborating with the criminals.

7. Disgusting Practice
Invicta ,   Europa   (07.15.08)
Male circumcision shortly following birth. No choice is extended to the infact in this barbaric practice.
8. Invicta -You R right. Afterwards I couldnt walk for a year.

9. #7 Invicta's moral equivalence between male & female circ.
Jake   (07.15.08)
Of course he is against male circumcision. The dickhead is afraid of being exposed.
10. #7 Why?
Cynthia ,   USA   (07.15.08)
Some Muslims perform male circumcison at age 13. I would think that would be very painful and more traumatic. And what happens if the boy at age 13 refuses? Do they have a choice? Obviously these young girls have no choice. It's not enough that female circumcision is a primative and brutal practice but the women these girls trust assault them during the procedure.
11. the big difference between male and female circumsicion ,is
rachel ,   usa   (07.16.08)
that the female lose any sexual feelings so all the men can do is rape ......that way the men won't have any performance anxiety .....and they keep their honor ..(.in case the female might understand )....but again most of them better not have any sexual history ..or they will be killed to save the whole family 's honor ......what a sick society .....
12. Not all Western women opposed to..
Mahmad al-Bahad ,   Clitorini   (04.27.09)
"As far as Tamir is concerned, cutting out a girl's genitalia is no different from pulling her teeth. As she put it, "Removing a tooth is also a painful procedure, often imposed on children, and if performed in non-hygienic conditions, it can produce permanent damage."
13. Bad thing
Vic ,   Beer Sheva Israel   (08.01.10)
Both, male and female circumcision ->>"they just didn't have any clue that it's not a religious thing to do, it's just a bad cultural thing that has been picked up."
14. Islam permit this practice and sometimes even recomend
uri ,   USA   (05.12.11)
the bible specificaly forbid any other cutting but male circumcision. male circumcision is healthier and cause a longer orgasm
