A great many Jews and Muslims do not engage in genital mutilation of any kind, whether of females or males. Are you implying that all Jews and Muslims engage in genital mutilation? Are you saying that engaging in such practices is a defining quality of these two groups? That is shocking!

At any rate, when you do something idiotic, you're an idiot. When you don't, you're not. It's not a permanent personal condition.

PS - In the United States, the vast majority of persons who had their genitals mutilated as infants are neither Muslim nor Jewish. It was done to us on a doctor's recommendation, with our parents' consent, because of medical superstitions dating back to the 19th century. It's important to see the big picture, beyond the provincial concerns of religious fundamentalists in either the Muslim or the Jewish communities.
