This book presents the religious, medical, social and legal debate
among Jews, Christians and Muslims around male and female
circumcision. If female circumcision today is the subject of a
national and international campaign to ban it, male circumcision is
accepted and few would dare criticize it. It is estimated wrongly
less serious than female circumcision, or with health benefits. The
author criticizes this myth maintained by the United Nations and
the World Health Organization. He demonstrates that the distinction
between male and female circumcision is illusory, both being an
unjustifiable flagrant violation of bodily integrity. This
distinction is the main reason for the failure of the campaign
against female circumcision. We cannot guarantee the right to
physical integrity of the girl if we deny this right to his
brother. The Author Sami A. Aldeeb Abu-Sahlieh. Christian of
