rationalizing the sexual mutilation of little boys is more than weird. at least Muslims have the decency to wait until boys have some defenses. i'm opposed to all forms of mutilation. but you want to defend the sexual abuse & mutilation of baby boys by pointing finger at Muslims

HIV for instance is pretty hard to catch, the riskiest sex act receptive anal sex, has a seroconversion rate of just 158/10,000 (158 infections per 10k exposures), HIV infects blood cells, it needs to get into the bloodstream to take hold, and tears in the penis/anus/vagina are>>
