I have already explained this if you care to read it. I am not justifying it in any way.

I wasn't trying to justify it, just pointing out that two of my male relatives have had to have medical intervention due to problems passing urine.

Some boys have to be circumcised for medical reasons, such as difficulty in passing urine. Obviously it's done under anaesthetic.

It is cultural, in that it comes from a specific culture, but that doesn't make it right. Education, and prevention is key, as well as prosecution.

That's because glamour models have neat and tidy bits whereas the 'normal' is different for everyone. Some girls are very embarrassed to have enlarged labia and think it needs correcting.

It's not just the clitoris. Sometimes the labia are sewn up, which causes bladder problems and in some cases the vagina stitched up too, with a minute hole left for menstruation. The girls then suffer agony, when they marry.

Steady on. The point I was trying to make, is that it isn't a religious practise. Of course it's barbaric. As a woman, I think it's revolting especially when women try to give birth and have to be cut to do so.

It's cultural rather than religion. Middle Eastern countries don't do it, but northern African countries tend to.
