when Jews or Christians do it, it's not "genital mutilation"...

Muslims do it too.

But "it" really does have so little in common with female genital mutilation that your comment is absurd. The male equivalent would be outright castration.

While "tradition" certainly plays a role, I believe that male circumcision does have hygenic merit. Sort of like removing tonsils.
