Religious minorities fear circumcision debate amounts to assault by secular society

58. no it is odd.

First it isnt a medical procedure when a non medical practitioner performs the ritual mutilation, it is at that point as a much of a medical procedure as a piercing at a tattoo shop.

Second, your distinction between those who circumcise infants for non-religious non-medical reasons ( i.e. cosmetic circumcision) vs ritual circumcision is strikingly odd to me. How can you deny the cosmetic circumcision if you allow the ritual? There is no rational basis for that, in my opinion. Why is religious belief allowed to trump the ethics that you admit preclude cosmetic circumcision under otherwise identical circumstances? Can parents seeking cosmetic circumcision simply claim a religious exemption and thus make it acceptable to you? Do you need a truthometer to distinguish the just clipping from the unjust? Seems highly problematic to me, and vastly complicated to enforce.
