//medicos still debate medical benefits of such.//

No, they don't. They know there are no benefits; the debate is over whether or not there is enough risk of harm to outlaw the practice.

I don't think it should be outlawed, and I don't think it is much more risky than having your ears pierced or getting a tattoo. But if you wanted to tattoo your baby for cultural reasons, people would frown upon it. I think that like tattoos, piercings, earlobe spacers and other purely cosmetic body modifications, they shouldn't be permitted on people below a certain age.

When men reach the age of 16 - the age at which they can consent to their own medical decisions - THEY (not their parents) should be allowed to decide if they want to get circumcised. And I reckon if we left it up to people to decide for themselves, you'd see a marked drop-off in circumcision rates.

//Male Circumcision only removes the loose flap of skin around the head of the Penis there-by making it more Hygienic.//

No, it doesn't. And no, it doesn't. Male circumcisions are botched more often than you would think, and the results are even less pretty than male genitalia normally are. It can be quite horrific. I'd post some links to photos but the prudes who moderate this forum and think that human anatomy is sinful would ban me.

And even if you get it right, removing the foreskin has no real effect on hygiene. This is because foreskins retract, thus allowing those who have them to still effectively sanitise the glans penis without having to permanently remove the foreskin.

Coming to Australia soon. Crimes committed by moderate moslems.

You've gone awfully quite on the subject of circumcision there, Jayb. What's the matter? Don't like to admit when you're wrong?

Suse,

"Is Mise, no, I don't condone illegal practices from anyone. Do you?"

Yes, I think that some laws need to be broken and broken frequently if they are stupid laws.
I am reminded of the law against daylight swimming in Sydney Harbour which was still on the books, despite such favoured swimming spots as Nielsen's Park and Manly.
Some Sydney Uni students brought it to a head in the 1960s by having a dip in the Harbour and then turning themselves in to the police.

The law was swiftly abolished.

I've never experienced any problems & no one I know has ever experienced any problems. Just looking up my "Anatomica" the explanation & Diagram show no sign of Sexual Gland within the foreskin. There is however the same Gland in the head of the Male Penis as there is in the Y shaped Sexual Gland within the Clitoris of a Female. Removing the surplus skin from the shaft of the Penis only uncovers the head of the Penis. This allows more thorough cleansing of the area.

The peace loving muslims deserve a fair go and the 1000 or so animals that molested girls on news years eve in Germany deserve to be deported to Pakistan. Syria, Iraq where their actions are tolerated. Oh that's right they are poor victims of Howard and Bush. And the regressives are the ones with all the uni degrees. Go figure!
