Some of my friends and I were all having a discussion on normal. what is normal? Do we do things just because they are the normal thing to do?
One said "In certain Islamic nations, young girls are routinely subjected to genital mutilation. This violent and dangerous practice is often carried out on girls ten or twelve years of age, against their will, without anesthetizing agents and often without sterile instruments. Is this "normal" simply because it is common?"
I would like to add that also in America newborn baby boys are subjected to the same type of horror in What the United States considers Infant Circumcision. Did you know that the United States is the only contry that subjects its infants to this as a normal part of life. People in the united states though consider this normal and the thing to do. To put their poor boys through this horror.

from being circumcised.

There are 23 medically advanced nations. The U.S. is the only nation which routinely circumcises nearly 63% of its newborn males. Our country represents less than 1/20th of the world population, yet it performs more than half of all infant circumcisions worldwide. If the foreskin is so prone to problems, why haven't other advanced nations adopted routine circumcision? One can't help but wonder why the U.S. is the only medically advanced nation that performs routine infant circumcisions without any medical indication.
Routine Infant Circumcision is limited to English speaking countries. The practice was intoduced to the U.S. through England, but they abandoned it nearly 50 years ago, practicing it now at the rate of only 1%. The rate is 3% in New Zealand, 10% in Australia and 20% to 25% in Canada. RIC isnot offered in most non-English speaking countries. It never caught on in Europe, Asia, South or Central America. If the majority of men elsewhere in the world were having medical problems because their penises were left intact, wouldn't these countries begin the practice?
Of the world's male population, the breakdown of the circumcised and intact are:
79 million American infant circs
9 million American child or adult circs
13 million Canada, UK, New Zealand & Australia infant circs
27 million rest of world infant circs
44 million child or adult circs other parts of world
315 million Muslim child/adolescent circumcisions
487 million = TOTAL MEN CIRCUMCISED WORLDWIDE (18%)
2 billion 160 million = TOTAL MEN INTACT WORLDWIDE (82%)
2 billion 647 million = Total Men Living Worldwide
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Out of the Worldwide Total of 487 Million Circumcised Men:
65% occur as Muslim cultural circumcisions
15% occur in other countries
3% occur in other English speaking countries
17% occur in the U.S.

Please do the research before you do something anything just because it is the "normal" thing to do.
