This book in Arabic, available also in French and in English,
foreworded by Dr. Nawal El-Saadawi, 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
