Maybe it�s the desensitization to blood and violence this causes is part of the reason the Middle East is such a mess today.

How is this topic related to the war on terrorism? So now whenever any controversial muslim news story comes up its automatically regarded as terrorism? Thats sickening to me.
This thread needs to be moved to the other current events section.

I really don't see how this is different from other religions, like the orthodox jews who like to circumsise each other.

Shiite Muslim child Mahmoud Slieman after his mother cut him with a sword during the annual ritual to mark Ashoura Day in the southern Lebanese town of Nabatiyeh, Tuesday March 2, 2004. Ashoura day marks the Shiite Muslim's commemoration of the 7th century killing of their most revered Saint Imam Hussein. Al Hussein was a grandson of Islam's prophet Mohammed and is a symbol of martyrdom for Shiites. (AP Photo/Mohammed Zaatari)

Well, babys that are just born, too, do get "cut" when they are circumcised, so really, there can't be really any difference.

I saw the pic after some research. I believe cutting a child/baby is pretty sick.
