So does Christianity and Jews hate male sexuality since they practice circumcision>>

Hmmm, well not all Christians do practice it, nor it is "required". My son is not circed.

But the biggest difference I can see is that the equivalent of female circumcision as practice in these countries would be like cutting the male penis completely off. I dare say a folding back or removing of the foreskin under anesthetic(becoming commen place nowadays) on a newborn is quite a cry different than taking all female sexual parts off with a sharp piece of glass at the age of 8 with no anesthetic. And the consequences of the two practices are quite different. Men can go on even with thier foreskin removed to a rich sexual life and comfort with doing basic things like intercourse and urinating, female mutilation victims are not so lucky. And I say this as someone who does not and will not circ my own sons, but I can differentiate the two. The problem is the terms, they are not even equivalent imo.

Christians should not circumcise. The external rite of circumcision mandated by the Law of Moses is to be replaced by the internal circumcision of the heart.

Behold, I Paul say unto you, that if ye be circumcised, Christ shall profit you nothing.
(Gal:5:2)

In whom also ye are circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, in putting off the body of the sins of the flesh by the circumcision of Christ
(Col:2:11)
