I think some religious rituals are weird as hell and are better of relegated to the past or at least asapted to the present. Female mutilation is atrocious, male circumcision is similar but not as debilitating to the non consenting subject. Move the age of the procedure to a consenting age and nobody will give a damn. But wait, why put in danger the practice since young adults may refuse to do it? Better put the head in the sand and double up, suction and all that…

> I think some religious rituals are weird as hell

Why should your - or anyone's - assessment of weirdness affect other people's freedom? I think your comment is much worse than weird, it's dangerous to freedom and helps the cause of antisemitism. By your argument, your comment certainly should be banned based only on my opinion.

You don't understand what's happening; with this victory the antisemites will seek more. There's a term of art for people they, and similar manipulators, capture:

Whose freedom are you talking about and to do what?

You seem like you are interested only in defending the parent's freedom to mutiliate their child's genitals, not the child;s right to not have parts of their flesh flayed off for no reason.

Do you not believe a child has a right to not have parts of their body removed for non-medical purposes without their consent?
