I agree with your points totally. I do not think circumcision compares with FGM, but there are some people say that. Everyone: Please do not think that because I exchange the words inside the sentences we all use, that I either agree or condone the resulting sentences. I am just trying to show that another view can be easily demonstrated.

FS and others: One of the dangers in doing what I did (trying to cast our own beliefs in the same syntactic structure that we use with the beliefs of others) is I could be accused of thinking that there is no higher moral weight to one side or the other. That is very far from the truth. As a matter of fact, there is an easy way to tell what’s right from what’s wrong for most situations: Would anyone be hurt (physically or emotionally) by one choice vs another.
