It's a humanitarian issue.

It's a human rights issue.

Seriously, don't mutilate people's genitals. In a hundred years, everyone will universally acknowledge that this is wrong, and our descendent's will look back at us all and wonder what the fuck we were even thinking.

I would say so. Progressivism is about progressing from barbarity toward civilization, through various means.

Circumcision adds nothing to civilization, and is an example of barbarity.

She gave me a card about “Brit Shalom” described as “a non-cutting naming ceremony for newborn Jewish boys.” The ceremony is designing to replace ritual circumcision for Jews.

This is a productive way of tackling the issue. Replacing is easier than abolishing.

It's a cultural issue; we need to get rid of Islam and Judaism first. After that, we can make MGM an exceedingly rare phenomena in the majority of the West.

In terms of Africa, if we ditch the likes of Bill Gates and their ridiculous pro-MGM "anti-HIV" campaigns we might be able to put a halt to it.

I don't know why it's so popular in the US and how to stop it there so I can't comment on that.

genital mutilation goes on in females all over africa and likely elsewhere on the globe and there is upheaval from the media about that issue, but circumcision is common practice and offered in EVERY hospital. HOW is this okay?
