Tinchote,

On your point about genital mutilation...

1. Both circumcision and female genital mutilation are cultural practices that predate Islam and exist and have existed for millennia to varying extents among several religious traditions throughout the Middle East and East and North Africa.

2. There is a significant difference in the nature, extent and impact of female genital mutilation by comparison to male circumcision that, I suggest, to which you don't give due regard.
