Here in UK generally we protect children from abuse, can we not prevent the barbaric and cruel abuse...?

Question

carried out on male children by Jews and Muslims? I refer of course to circumcision.

Answer 1

If only!!!It's not just done for religious reasons! People do it for 'hygienic' reasons too.....incredible!
Circumcision is mutilation and I don't understand why it hasn't been outlawed yet.

Answer 2

I think circumcision is a little different from "barabric and cruel" abuse, as their motives are not cruel.
I DO however believe the child should be of a certain age old enough to decide whether or not he wants it done. And if he does, that's his business.

Answer 3

No. That is only your own personal opinion.

The fact there is no law against the procedure efectively means that it cannot be considered an abuse or an illegal practice.

What I think is truly barbaric is the manipulative campaign of lies developed by the anti-circumcision groups and lobbies, trying to mislead and misinform people to make them believe circumcision is wrong, even when studies show it is definitely beneficial.




CIRCUMCISION IS VERY BENEFICIAL, its cleaner, healthier and several prestigious research institutions have proved that circumcised men have less risk of contracting STD's such as AIDS-HIV, syphilis or herpes.

Uncircumcised penises are difficult to keep clean, and more prone to infections and penile cancer, studies have shown.
A circumcised penis is naturally clean and virtually free from urinary infections. You will not have to worry again with careful washing of your penis.

Is it NOT true that the AAP (American Academy of Paediatrics) does not recommend circumcision. They simply say they leave the decision to parents. But recently, and specially after the recent studies by the US National Institutes of Health, the AAP has been discussing if it may be necessary to change their policy and recommend circumcision to all newborns as they used to do, so in the future we may see that the AAP advocates circumcision again.

About STD's:

As I said, several studies carried out by prestigious research bodies have proved that uncircumcised penises are more prone to infections and contraction of STD's, including AIDS-HIV. It has been confirmed that circumcised men are up to 70% less likely to be infected than those who are uncircumcised. Have a look at this site: http://www.torontodailynews.com/index.php/HealthNews/2006121404Circumcision

As for women, studies also show that circumcision also protects female partners from AIDS-HIV and other STD's. Browse this article: http://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/Press_releases/2006/02_08_06.html

About sensitivity of a circumcised penis:

NO medical or physiological study has ever shown that circumcision reduces sensitivity, opposed to common belief. It is completely FALSE that circumcision reduces penis sensitivity. The American Academy of Paediatrics (AAP) confirms this on their web site; have a look at: http://www.aap.org/pubed/zzzjzmemh4c.htm

Circumcision is an easy and nowadays *painless* procedure, which has many benefits, and virtually no risks.
Circumcision is NOT an amputation. Circumcision is NOT comparable at all to female circumcision, which is something completely different.

Circumcision rates are INCREASING nowadays, both in the United States and overseas. Many African, Asian and Latin American countries with little circumcision tradition are starting to promote the procedure to help to reduce the AIDS-HIV infection rates.

Finally, this site has a lot of useful and *unbiased* information. Make sure you have a good look: http://www.circinfo.net

Answer 4

The UK is not a world Police force or a moral judgement state. We should not poke our nose into anyone else's business, we've had enough of that surely with Blair and Bush. Live and let live. With the underage teenage pregnancies, sex obsessed, alcoholic, drug addict, abusive, violent gun crazed youngsters we have in UK I hardly think we need to be worrying ourselves about Jewish and Muslim willies...get a grip!!!

Answer 5

We cannot police the world. All anybody can do is educate. Circumcision is painful-I wouldn't like it- but there are anaesthetics. It is healthier without a foreskin because it prevents infections. It allows the skin on the head of the penis to become thicker with a thin layer of protective callus which can protect against the HIV virus too.

Answer 6

Totally agree, if they were practising female circumcision the authorities would be up in arms, but because it's a male they don't care.

Answer 7

It depends on whether you enjoy living in a democracy, or not!
