Circumcision has a glorious history because it represents a covenant between the almighty God and the patriarch Abraham. I do not refer to the stated procedure as “male circumcision,” considering it is physically impossible to circumcise a female. Where does the moral authority to mutilate a female child’s genitals come from? Certainly not from God. The Bible teaches that the human body is the temple of the Holy Spirit. Female genital mutilation is an atrocity. It is criminal. Where is the line drawn between a so called religious teaching/conduct and criminal conduct? I am a firm believer in freedom of religion. What comes next? Chopping off someone’s hand, for stealing? Removal of an eye? Do not children and adults need to be protected? This is why government exists.
