Actually, it's not...I served in the Military you know. By the way, I've read the Qur'ran and listened to translations for the Hadith...try someone else for what the mutilation is used for.

I wonder what being in the military has to do with anything. And if mutilating the genitals of their girls was about controlling their girls as slaves to their future husbands, why do they mutilate the genitals of their boys in much higher rates?

Medically because in some cases the foreskin can grow too tight and cause pain, it prevents phimosis, uncircumcised are twice as likely to contract HPV, recent studies have proven circumcision helps reduce risk of HIV, cleanliness can be an issue...what doctors say anyway.

As for HPV, we have vaccines for that now, so if it were an issue, it is a pretty moot point.

4> Schoen ran the @AmerAcadPeds taskforce on circumcision in the 80s, from 1971 to 1989 the AAP said there was no medical indication for circumcision, once sexual pleasure was no longer seen as evil during the sexual revolution. In 1860 that's how this all started.
