Some of the regions and countries which do not practise routine circumcision:

Not only do their boys grow up happy and healthy, without any of the so-called potential "problems" that some people claim, but there is actually a lower rate of infant mortality, cancer and venereal disease in those places than in the USA, where routine circumcision is still common.

And look at some of the other countries where circumcision is common: Iraq, Egypt, Somalia, Tanzania, Uganda, Indonesia, Pakistan - all poor countries, with terrible health problems and a high rate of venereal disease and HIV-AIDS infection.

If circumcision provided protection against HIV, AIDS would not be such a problem in Africa, where more than half the men (and millions of girls) are already circumcised in tribal and religious rituals.

Many experts now think that circumcision actually spreads AIDS.
