Abraham on Trial: The Social Legacy of
Biblical Myth, by Carol Delaney, professor of anthropology at
Stanford University and biblical scholar. She talks about the trial of
Cristos Valenti, a man who heard the voice of god telling him to kill
his youngest and most beloved daughter in January of 1990, and Cristos
obeyed. Abraham was used as the model and the story was central to the
trial. The rest of the book discusses that model and its meaning within
Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. It is revealing and fascinating.

THE 8th DAY,
A
documentary by Keren Markuze
>http://www.aboutthe8thday.com/
"My first
vivid memory is my brother's circumcision. I was five. He - like
most Jewish babies undergoing the ritual of brit mila - was eight days
old.
I remember being fascinated by the whole event. I don't remember
thinking
there was anything wrong with it.
Thirteen
years later, I went to work at the Jerusalem Post in Israel.
There, I was assigned a story on the practice of female ritual genital
surgery among the country's Bedouin tribes. I discovered a practice that
most Israelis abhorred, and considered primitive and barbaric. I was
hard
pressed to disagree; though the circumcision performed on Bedouin women
was an incision quite minor in severity compared to the clitorectomies
done in
other parts of the world...."

book, has a chapter titled "mutilation". The first four
pages of this chapter (119 to top of 122) contain
some
sizeable and very QUOTABLE commentary on male circumcision, which
she
refers to consistently as
male genital mutilation and male mutilation.
