I know this. I am simply stating that I wouldn't know any religious prescription in whatever religion that would be considered as more binding by its adherents than an explicit Torah commandment by Jews.
The US is trying to lock up Muslim parents for life for circumcising their daughters in a manner that is less invasive than how they circumcise their sons, in what they regard as equally central to keeping their relgion: http://blog.practicalethics.ox.ac.uk/2017/08/does-female-genital-mutilation-have-health-benefits-the-problem-with-medicalizing-morality/ …

Possibly, but then again, outlawing FGC does not outlaw Islam as such. MGC is far more central to Judaism than FGC to Islam. Within Islam there are plenty of theologically authorized, traditional options to do without FGC. Not so with Judaism and MGC.

"Theologically authorized" ... ? What does that mean? There are millions of people for whom FGC (Islam or no Islam) is central to their way of life, identity, sense of tradition, and so on, going back thousands of years. How is that less deserving of respect than "theology"?
