I find myself appalled that they cut their children and make them bleed. Then I realize that I have to step out of what Western Culture considers "right and wrong" and realize that this is no more wrong to them as circumcision is to westerners.

Still, I'm not entirely comfortable with the images of bloody children. Especially in the first picture, the child is sucking on a bloodied finger. The father's face isn't bloody, and I would have thought his face would be bloody too, to "celebrate" or whatever.

I also want to mention I switched from lurking to posting about a year ago this month.
