Is circumcision an abomination

Answer 1

"In Judaism, and in Islam, the human being is considered to be made in the image of God, and God is conceptualized as perfect. So one could not argue that interfering with God's perfect creation is a form of blasphemy. In Judaism there is a law of 'Shmirat Ha Guf', the guarding or protecting of the body. Body-piercing, tattooing and amputation are all forbidden for this reason. Further, there is the Talmudic concept of 'Tsa'ar ba'alei chayyim', compassion for all living creatures. If compassion in all its fullness were applied to 8-day-old babies, circumcision would become impossible."

More to the point though the Jew make up but a very small part of the men of the world and have but a minor religion. Muslims also do this to their children as do some of the people of the more advanced English speaking economy's. The real point is that it is a harmful practice that has no advantages in reality. Much misinformation is put out about advantages to health attained by those that have been mutilated in this way however they always turn out to be misinformed. The harm that is done to both the phisique of an infant , boy and finally man is undeniable as is the psychological damage in particular when perpetrated on infants. So it would be reasonable to see this barbaric custom as an abomination.
