This is a bit of an unfair argument I think. Any man who's had a bit of his
knob cut off at his parents request is gonna have to try and justify it to himself.
I dont need to justify it. The fact that Islam requires it is enough for me. As does Judaism, Christianity, and now in the US, medics promoting it, seems to imply more and more people feel this is the way to go when it comes to circumcision. Its benefits outweigh its negative aspects.
You guys say its barbaric to inflict pain on a child or baby. Yet your fine with stabbing a child numerous times with metal needles during its early years, on the grounds its ok because they are getting immunised against diseases and infections?
Well medical science now seems to back the idea that circumcision does have a lot of medical benefits, from protecting against HIV to protecting against other sexual and urinary track infections and diseases.
