The US should ban the genital mutilation of infants, boys and girls. So should other civilized places like Australia and England. Make stupid religious practices illegal to keep stupid religious people out of your country, if you have a problem with stupid religious people.

Or we could BAN stupid people like you that spread their hateful rhetoric.

Circumcision has been done for thousands of years and has been proven to lower the risk of spreading diseases such as aids.

Female circumcision is done for a different reason. It is done to control the female.

Beheading people is already illegal, but that hasn’t slowed Muslim immigration into the US.

Your post seeks to make moral equivalence between Christianity and Islam because they are both “religions”. Don’t be stupid, mate. There’s no comparison between a religion in which God sacrificed His Son for us to give us life, and the religion in which everyone is expected to sacrifice their sons for Allah to bring death to the infidel.

The English did this once, in the days of the raj in India. They banned the practice of suttee: ie. the burning alive of widows of men that had died. Mark Steyn wrote about it in his book 'America Alone': the British commander that ordered the ban stated that 'if you build the pyre to kill the widow in accordance with your traditions, we'll follow our traditions and build a gallows to hang you right next to it.'

We can only hope that the West can muster up the courage that it once had to stand up to evil, regardless of its 'religious' or 'cultural' cloak.
