It's called circumcision. It is not the same as female mutilation. If you can't see that, your are being obtuse.
It's certainly not quite as gruesome as female genital mutilation, but it's not that far off. Painful consequences can arise, especially if the mohel is performing circumcision in the "traditional" way, in which the foreskin is orally removed by the mohel. Infants have contracted herpes and died because of this practice.
Surely, you can at least agree that circumcision shouldn't be performed in such a filthy and dangerous way.
