#HealthcareAndSecularism James Chedwiggen: the law may have a role in protecting children's rights and ending circumcision, but it won't work without cultural change.
Worth noting that 62% in UK would support a ban on circumcisionhttps://www.secularism.org.uk/news/2018/02/nss-says-uk-should-follow-icelands-lead-to-end-genital-cutting …
FGM is un-Islamic while boy's circumcision is Islamic. UK has no right to ban circumcision. Circumcision reduces the risk of STI's, such as syphilis.Aside from its health benefits, I think circumcision transforms a boy to a real man. IA http://www.londonschoolofislamics.org.uk

Stop saying it's medical - no medical procedure is performed without the indication for said procedure, nobody does appendicitis removal preemptively! The reason for circumcision is purely religious. It should be banned for children as they can't express their consent.

People like you must learn to respect and tolerate those who are different.Muslims are here with their own culture,languages and faith that must be preserved for the future their generations,otherwise, they would be lost in western jungle.

Where do you see the disrespect in my comment? I had 2 points: 1) circumcision is religious, not medical and 2) people should be able to make decisions by themselves, when they reach the age of consent.

When an adult convert to Islam than he must be circumcised. IA http://www.londonschoolofislamics.org.uk

Let adults do whatever the hell they please with their own bodies, but leave children out of it!

FGM is about as “Islamic” as male circumcision; neither are mentioned in the Koran. Circumcision does not prevent a single STD. The science shows circumcised men get every disease an intact man gets. By your definition, 70% of the world’s men aren’t “real?” Cool story, brah.

أَنَّ امْرَأَةً كَانَتْ تَخْتِنُ بِالْمَدِينَةِ، فَقَالَ لَهَا النَّبِيُّ: " لَا تُنْهِكِي، فَإِنَّ ذَلِكَ أَحْظَى لِلْمَرْأَةِ وَأَحَبُّ إِلَى الْبَعْلِ A women used to do circumcision in Medina, so the prophet told her: ‘do not overstrain, (this way) it will be more pleasant>>

From the Hadiths, but it's not Islamic, not at all. Not when most of the FGM done today is done by Muslims. It's members of a Muslim sect that was brought to court in Australia and the USA for FGM.
