While I understand your point, I just wanted to correct your statement because it is a very common misconception.
Female circumcision has NOT considered moral in Saudi Arabia since before 600 AD. Though it is practiced there by a
very small percentage of the population, most view it as a terrible practice. I'm not certain as to the official legal status, but I know it is not permitted by most hospitals or clinics.
Since we are on the topic, just FYI....
You find female circumcision practiced most frequently in areas of Africa, and where it is found it is done by almost everyone regardless of their religion.
Also curiously enough, studies have shown that it does not stop orgasm...and can actually make the area more sensitive.
