Hi thanks for taking the time to respond Avi  I had presumed you were Muslim because it said on your talkpage that you had contributed to the Abbey Hill Mosque article  From your response I now gather you are of the Jewish faith so sorry if I have misrepresented you at any point Have I got that right you are Jewish not Muslim I also presumed you were from the UK which is where I am from because you had contributed to an article on a UK mosque  Is that right When I said most people are against it I meant that most people where I am from dont know much about it and if they did find out about the negative aspects of it such as the complications serious and minor loss in sexual function etc then they would most likely take a somewhat negative view of it I would apply this to all noncircumcising cultures  These people may not campaign against it or join the genital integrity movement if you could describe it as such however they would in general have a negative view of it  There are a few reasons as to why I think theyd view it somewhat negatively once you forced them to give their view on it  It is done on children without their consent  Most people would view this as ethically wrong  to not have any say in a major alteration to a part of your body a particularly sensitive part at that   It can cause pain people generally dont like to see children in pain   They then might ask if there was a reason for it to be done  They would look at the views of the medical associations via their policy statements on RIC and find out that it isnt a net positive operation therefore it doesnt need to be done for health reasons  Furthermore those that are not circumcised would realise it is a needless operation because they had done fine being intact  What I am saying is that most people do view it negatively if they know about it and are forced to choose they just dont bother saying anything because they do not wish to cause upset to a religious community or be accused of being intolerant    I am not sure what bizarre forced circumcision you are referring to  Regarding the termtitle of the article I dont see how calling the article Male circumcision would equate it with female circumcision  I realise they are different operations but they still involve cutting of the genitals  You also cannot deny that a lot of people refer to FGM as you would call it as female circumcision  Furthermore a lot of people when asked to define circumcision would ask the question which type Male or female In the last post on this subject at talkcircumcision I said this and I dont think you or Jake responded  I took that as meaning you didnt have a counterargument to what I said  My point there was that we should be as specific as possible and that being accurate is more important than using the most widely used term  This is following the Wikipedia naming guidelines
