I understand that you're not against Islam, as you state that near the end of your article.  I'm just pointing out that your most emphasized reasoning for why the procedure is practiced is religion when, in reality, it's one of the notable reasons least used.  Perhaps you should have done more research on the topic before posting it online for the world to see.  There are many excellent peer-reviewed articles available on Google Scholar that could help you become more knowledgeable about a topic before largely blaming a religion for a practice it condemns.  In your comment above mine in response to Buddy aka Beverly, you say that they're trying to make it obligatory in Egypt.  You're talking about a small group of people, while the government itself is in the process of trying to illegalize it.
