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!

Is that why King David ordered all of those foreskins? He was looking out for their genital hygiene?

Lol ok bud.
