The "procedure" you're referring to is, by definition, genital mutilation. Which is intentionally inflicting trauma on a child. That is child abuse.
If they were truly able to consent (which is not possible due to power imbalance), then maybe you'd have an argument. Maybe. But the truth is this "procedure" is for the express purpose of forcing puritanical beliefs and lifestyle into another. So, again, its literally child abuse.
Believing that your religious views override any of this? That's bigotry.
Your “cultural practices” ends when it harms another sentient being. Funny how you also want to harm the animals for selfish reasons by pushing misinformation on the plant-based diet to make excuses to eat the flesh and secretions of others.
The motive might be to prevent harm, but motive does not justify actions. Parents literally used to beat children, to make them more obedient and thereby "protecting" them. Some parents today will prevent their child being vaccinated from life threatening diseases, because in their culture vaccines are seen as bad, and their warped view of medicine makes them think they are protecting their children.
Motive is not justification.
It seems you're very uneducated. Genital mutilation is performed in order to mark the child as a member of an insane cult, and hinder masturbation. This is very well documented by cult "scholars". The "reduce infection" thing is a new excuse made up to fool normal people into tolerating insane child abusing cultists.
Shoooosh!
Shoooosh
Is that why King David ordered all of those foreskins? He was looking out for their genital hygiene?
Lol ok bud.
I think fetishizing and othering foreign cultures, suggesting they're incapable of modern hygeine standards, etc,is also pretty fucking bigoted.
