The circumcisers of boys, who are usually men, must surely have a sadistic streak to be able to perform these painful blood rituals
by cutting off the foreskins of their infants and boys over and over again continually. There is a difference between the Jewish and
Islamic traditions in that Jews circumcise their male infants on the 8th day after birth in a ceremony called Brit Mila (Hebrew =
covenant of cutting) while Muslims circumcise pre pubescent boys, which is an absolutely
horrendous ordeal for the petrified boys once they realise what is about to happen to them. A number of documentaries which have showed
this practice say just how violent, frightening and deeply upsetting it is to witness this trauma. Often it is done en mass where
dozens of boys are circumcised at the same ‘event’. Each boy has to be physically restrained by adult men because of their struggling
whilst their foreskins are cut off. The crying and screaming which is horrifying and gruesome is always in vain because no one comes
to help or save them from their fate, and the cruelty of the physical and psychological violation must surely give those boys nightmares
and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD).
Indeed a study of Turkish boys circumcised in late childhood found that a boy experienced a sense of powerlessness and felt a violent
and an aggressive attack upon his body, which damaged, mutilated and in some cases totally destroyed him. Ritual circumcision appeared
to be associated with increased aggressiveness, weakness of the ego, withdrawal, reduced functioning and adaptation and nightmares
consistent with PTSD. At any other time anything of this nature would be classified as child abuse and a criminal act, but somehow
this type of barbarity is conveniently condoned as a ‘cultural right’, perpetuated by the religious demands of a bloodthirsty tormentor
God and the untouchable man made traditions and laws of long ago, which remain unchallengeable today.
Is it hardly surprising then that the most violent societies and wars on the planet are by those who ritually circumcise their males,
torturing their penises by severing the innocence of their foreskins, dulling their sensitivity to decrease their sexual pleasures
and invalidating their right of maleness to possess a foreskin? An interesting theory to test out would be to see if circumcision
were to cease totally, whether violence and wars abate or cease in those societies that ritually circumcise?
The male phallus has been under religious attack throughout history and to this day circumcision is mandatory throughout many areas
of the world and both males and females are the victims of this heinous, barbaric sex torture practice. As far as religious dogma
goes it is up to Jewish and Muslim men and women to challenge the sexual fascism and slavery of this abusive genital torture and mutilation
practice of their babies and children. Is it worth the cost of maintaining this excruciatingly painful, archaic, barbaric and illogical
practice, which God ‘demands’ or to break away from it? The pressure by those communities on anyone who challenges this heinous practice
is a major problem because being shunned, rejected and ostracised are usually the result of resisting circumcision.
