Circumcision fuels terrorism?

In my opinion, Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab’s penis had already been
mutilated years before. Religious Muslims, including many African
tribes, practice circumcision on their young boys, as the Jewish
religion and most American hospitals perform this procedure on male
infants. Everyone in the West denounces female circumcision which is
pretty abominable. But many support or just ignore the violence of the
same act on males, even though it is only marginally less abusive.
Female cliterectomy usually chops off the clitoris and sometimes the
labia, leaving a woman essentially without outer genitalia. Male
circumcision slices off 5-20% of the penis, specifically the foreskin,
the vital part of the male genitalia that protects the glans when it
is flaccid and retracts sensuously to reveal his erection when fully
aroused.
There have been many excuses posited for circumcision, including the
almighty virtue of “cleanliness,” but the main point is said to have
been to keep men from masturbating. And yes, it does feel good to move
that sensual foreskin back and forth, and circumcision does seem to
deaden sensation, leaving the glans in a perpetual state of exposure,
as well as creating all sorts of untold traumas for boys who are put
through it. But I think it’s been proven a gazillion times that
circumcision does NOT stop guys from masturbating, though it does help
keep the lube industry going (uncut men don’t tend to require lube).
So, maybe the *real* purpose of circumcision is just to cause pain, to
toughen the boy for a life of violence, war and sacrifice.
As a good Muslim boy, Farouk was most certainly circumcised, so his
penis had already known considerable pain and trauma. Perhaps he even
fetishized the penile pain, thinking something along the lines of,
“Since Allah won’t allow my penis to have pleasure, then let it have
pain, let it explode with pain and take some heathens down with it!”
It doesn’t take much imagination to see how thoughts like that might
lead to tighty-whities packed with explosives.

This is about the silliest thing I've ever heard about terrorism.
Seriously the whole fucking world does not obsess about foreskins like
this. The rest of the article is less far-fetched.

Says the circumcision fetishist who once wrote: "If you oppose
circumcision, you agree with killers like 'Martin'."

Personally, I'm more worried about what will happen when the Africans
rumble the whole 'circumcision prevents HIV infection' thing.
Millions of mutilated penises, thousands of dead from infections &
suicide, and countless extra HIV cases.
American interference in Arab states is one of the main reasons stated
by Muslim terrorists; you do the maths.

As a p.s. it looks like somebody agrees with me:
"It is important that, while circumcision interventions are being
planned, several points must be considered carefully. If the experiment
fails, Africans are likely to feel abused and exploited by scientists
who recommended the circumcision policy. In a region highly sensitive to
previous colonial exploitation and suspicious of the biological warfare
origin of the virus, failure of circumcision is likely to be a big
issue. Those recommending it should know how to handle the political
implications."

Not the whole world. But the US is willing to do some gruesome things
to male children--as soon as they're born--in the name of foreskins.
A bizarre and unfortunate obsession.
