What is a yahoo group?

What do you think of a Yahoo group that promotes infant mutilation?

• Yahoo Group Unashamedly_procirc_ has this to say: Description This group is for the chosen, who believe that circumcision, the sign of Allah, is a completely acceptable parental and personal decision as a result of religious, cultural or medical reasons. Circumcision is the removal of the foreskin of the penile glans (in males) or clitoral glans (in females). The purpose of this group is to provide resources on this issue instead of serving as a discussion platform. There are already many such platforms on the net. This group is about circumcision only, which promotes health and well-being, and those wanting to discuss other topics should go elsewhere for such a platform. Also, this group is not for people having a sexual interest in the circumcision procedure itself. Look to the Links section for comprehensive information on the topic. And remember, Allah promotes health and well-being through circumcision. It is the unique sign for Muslims everywhere, making us different.

• Answer:

  I think very poorly of a group that promote infant mutilation under the name of some ficticious being. No child is born needing to be circumcised and circumcision is never necessary. No god has the right to demand a blood sacrifice from a non consenting child. If your god wants a used foreskin back at the expense of mutilating a helpless infant, it is time to look for a new god. It is time people challenged Muslims and Jews on their imagined right to circumcision their children. Nowhere should it be allowed to force this genital mutilation on someone who cannot give informed consent. No one can tell me they have the right to restain a struggling child while some butcher takes a knife to their genitals for some mythical health or religious rite. It is cruel, brutal and destructive,....and totally unnecessary. If circumcision was such a good idea, nature would have picked up on it eons ago. As it is, nature does not waste energy providing a foreskin with every birth package, only to have some nut case think they need to cut it off and forever deprive the non consenting infant/child of the right to his own body. Try raising the topic of female circumcision and the world recoils in horror,.....but the same procedure is being forced on males, and they think it is okay because it has been done for years. Crimes have been committed for years and they are punishable when uncovered. Those who promote circumcision should be punished under law for detroying the natural body of male children. Mithras
