I'd say it's the exact opposite. Maybe it's more of a cultural thing now, if you compare the rates of circumcision in the US to Europe, for example, but the roots of circumcision are in religion. Especially the Abrahamic religions - Islam and Judaism mostly. Pretty much every Muslim and Jewish male is circumcised at birth.

You simply cannot ignore its origins either. There's absolutely nothing which suggests that it has "evolved" over time in large parts of the middle east and Africa where the practice is rampant purely for religious reasons (including the removal of the clitoris). This to me is just disregarding of the rights and individual of a child. They are not the property of their parents. I do hope that those who did have their foreskin removed think twice before subjecting anyone else through the procedure in the future. |

When I think about it,circumcision is a pretty weird thing. But I was circumcised and don't hate my parents for it and I'm glad I am. |
