it doesn't hurt them...they need to keep their arms and legs still (babies naturally are not going to) also - they usually give them glucose to calm them and for pain control and use lidocaine as local anesthetic. Also circumcision is not "mutilation"
Did you even read the article? If you had, you'd have seen that FGM is a Muslim religious practice, one that at least some studies suggest could have medical benefits, and that Muslims like the group described in the article believe God has required FGM as a "matter of faith."

Circumcision isn't a "Christian" practice. (Galatians 5:2: "if you let yourselves be circumcised, Christ will be of no benefit to you.") Outside the U.S., Christians are rightly appalled by non therapeutic infant circumcision, & have ended it (just like stoning blasphemers).
