Do we allow this to happen? Why on earth not? Perhaps it is because stoning someone is against their human rights? But is also against your religious rights? Is it not?

There are things in the bible which are no longer done because they harm people, but they are still laws which are written. In today's society it is important to protect people from harm, especially if they are unable to speak for themselves. Which rights are more important? An adults religious expression on which they perform a harmful act on someone else? Or a child's right to be free from harm, and to be allowed to decided if they want to have body modifications done when they are able to understand. Many religious people are now jumping on the intactivist band wagon, and giving their children their very own religious freedom! Isn't that fantastic?

It is very important to note that, a body modification like this is permanent. It has affects on the child later in life as well as right now in his life. He may never choose to be Jewish or Muslim, but if he does he can have a circumcision as an adult. If you leave them intact they can make an informed choice for themselves! :)

In conclusion: You can swing your arm around as much as you like, but your fist stops where another person's nose starts!
