I don't agree. Wrong is wrong. This is not the same as saying severity of effect
is the same. It is rather like saying sexual molestaion is wrong but actual
penetration is more wrong.
To mutilate a child, regardless of the outcome, is wrong.
oh, and 'men who are cricumcised' is not the point. the point is children being
circumcised, defensless and choiceless.
