1456:"The best protection from UTIs comes not from cutting off a small piece of the baby's skin, but from the mother herself. Jan Winberg et al (the Lancet, March 1989) concludes that the number of UTIs in newborn males could be reduced by strict rooming in of mother and baby or by active colonization of the baby with his mother's anaerobic gut flora. In this research, UTIs in newborn males were caused by Escherichia coli, bacteria not of maternal origin; therefore, infants had no passive resistance to these pathogens. During delivery in a natural setting, the infant acquires aerobic and anaerobic intestinal flora from the mother, together with the necessary immunoglobins to resist infections from these agents through the placenta and breastmilk. When an infant is born in a sterile hospital setting, he is carefully protected from the possible contamination caused by his mother's body fluids, and then isolated in a nursery. His first contact with the E. coli strain is from the hospital environment itself, against which the infant has no resistance. During the first few days of the infant's life, he should be handled by the mother and other members of his immediate family as exclusively as possible, whether circumcised or intact. The mother's resistance to the pathogenic effects of her own gut flora and that of the other family members should protect the infant from early UTIs. Once the infant has established his own gut bacteria colony, this will help protect him from colonization by stray pathogens. The baby born in a typical hospital labor setting who is then removed to the nursery is at much greater risk for UTIs from stray bacteria than the infant born at home. Circumcision is no guarantee of health; contact with the mother and her breastmilk are an infant's first and foremost protection from infections." 359:
Churches, as well as various Rites. For the period the above refers to, "the Orthodox Church" would be understood fairly universally as meaning Chalcedonian Christianity in obedience to the ancient patriarchates of the East, viz. Constantinople, Alexandria, Antioch, and Jerusalem, together with the ancient Church of Cyprus and the newly autonomous metropolitan jurisdiction of Moscow. The fact that the paragraph mentioned the Patriarch of Constantinople ought to have made it abundantly clear which Church was being talked about. The non-Chalcedonian (or "Oriental") Orthodox Churches are not customarily designated the "Orthodox", but rather the "Coptic Orthodox", "Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo", "Syrian Orthodox", etc, Churches. Therefore, I think that "the Orthodox Church" as above is perfectly easily intelligible as meaning what I have just explained that it means. If I had meant any other sort of Orthodox Church other than "the Orthodox Church", I should have said so. That the paragraph followed on from one about Coptic, Ethiopian, and Eritrean Orthodoxy, ought to have made it yet more clear that this concerned a different Christian tradition. Equally, you speak of "the Catholic Church"; I could object that "the Catholic Church" might be taken to designate the entire one, holy, catholic, and apostolic Church (even with a lowercase "c"), or the Old Catholic Church, the Liberal Catholic Church, or the Anglican Catholic Church, or - by some stretch of the imagination - the Church of England; however, I recognise that, unless otherwise specified, "the Catholic Church" means the Church in communion with the bishop of Rome, commonly called the pope.
340:"The Orthodox Church has been opposed to the practice of circumcision. For example, in 1471 Dionysius, Patriarch of Constantinople, was deposed on the mere allegation that he had been circumcised. On examination, it was proven that the allegation had been false, but he nevertheless lost his office. This event took place during the first decades of the Church's subjugation to the rule of the Ottomans, and it may be that charge against the Patriarch was not so much that he was circumcised, as that he had been forcibly converted to Islam in his childhood. However, the fact remains that circumcision was the charge levelled against him: the effects of circumcision are irreversible (the possibility of restoration notwithstanding), while the effects of conversion to Islam are, at least to the Christian perspective, wholly nullified by conversion to Christianity. It was therefore not his theological credentials, but his supposed lack of a foreskin, that was seen as disqualifying Dionysius from high ecclesiastical office. Further, if he had at any time become a Muslim (even against his will) and had reverted to Christianity, he would have been liable to capital punishment. " 2074:"There is evidence that circumcision results in an approximately 12-fold reduction in the incidence of UTI during infancy. The overall incidence of UTI in male infants appears to be 1% to 2%. The incidence rate of the complications of circumcision reported in published articles varies, but it is generally in the order of 0.2% to 2%. Most complications are minor, but occasionally serious complications occur. There is a need for good epidemiological data on the incidence of the surgical complications of circumcision, of the later complications of circumcision and of problems associated with lack of circumcision. Evaluation of alternative methods of preventing UTI in infancy is required. More information on the effect of simple hygienic interventions is needed. Information is required on the incidence of circumcision that is truly needed in later childhood. There is evidence that circumcision results in a reduction in the incidence of penile cancer and of HIV transmission. However," 1035:
daily living, alms-giving, prayer, the Hajj and other aspects of Muslim life; these are set out in the Haditha and — now non-negotiable — scholarly commentaries. The observation "circumcision is not specifically mandated or mentioned in the Qu'ran" is simply irrelevant. That many Muslims believe it is necessary on the basis of this or that rationale is neither here nor there; Muslims circumcise because they they believe they are instructed to do so. More to the point, it can be dangerous to enter into speculation as to the Prophet's rationale for his various practices that Muslims believe they are enjoined to emulate, particularly if this involves questioning settled dicta. Alas, I don't think I know how to put it any more clearly.
2103:"...there is inadequate information to recommend circumcision as a public health measure to prevent these diseases. When circumcision is performed, appropriate attention needs to be paid to pain relief. The overall evidence of the benefits and harms of circumcision is so evenly balanced that it does not support recommending circumcision as a routine procedure for newborns. There is therefore no indication that the position taken by the CPS in 1982 should be changed. When parents are making a decision about circumcision, they should be advised of the present state of medical knowledge about its benefits and harms. Their decision may ultimately be based on personal, religious or cultural factors." 923:"Islam does not impose an obligation on parents to circumcise their children. Furthermore, its recommendations about circumcision apply to women as much as men. The Koran, the Moslem bible, makes no mention of circumcision at all, but the prophet Mohammed is reported to have stated that "Circumcision is a sunnah for the men and a makrumah for the women". (Note the reference to men and women: nothing about boys and girls.) The term sunnah means customary or traditional; the term makrumah means meritorious. The most you could conclude is that circumcision was customary for men and meritorious for women." 1301:"Your own Hist..." what does that mean? This is the only article I've been analyzing critically. Once this is complete, I think that we can move the heavy data to the daughter articles and leave this one as summary style, but since this one is the one with all of the eyes on it now, it pays to finish this. Further, we cannot quote Knowledge as a source. Regarding the CIHI, I spent a while searching their site, and I cannot find the reference to 17%. If we find it on CIHI, by all means. Otherwise, the most recent reliable source we have is all of the quotations of Patel. Because 439:, focusing on the Chalcedonian Church of the Byzantine Rite in communion with the Ecumenical Patriarch (the plural, "Christianities", is really a bit of academese in this case). However, if it really is going to cause this much controversy I suppose we could say "the Chalcedonian Orthodox Church or Churches", but to be honest I think that that would be bound to cause even more confusion to the majority of readers who probably do not know the significance of Chalcedon, or who may think it means all Chalcedonian Churches, including the Catholic and mainstream Protestant Churches.-- 31: 948:
the be all and end all of holy writ; a more apt (but really only less inapt) comparison would be to the Torah, with the Haditha corresponding to the Talmud. You'd be pretty hard pressed to find any Muslims willing to ignore the circumcision mandate, whatever ambiguity you may discern in it and however liberal they may be as to other do's and don'ts. Even pork-eating (much less alcohol-drinking) Muslims regard circumcision as non-negotiable.

deprivation". "non-" shows only a single entry, described as "with the sense ‘absence or lack of’" or "corresponding semantically to ‘not doing, failure to do’". The major difference between the two prefixes appears to be its etymological origin, "un-" descending from Germanic sources, and "non-" from Latin sources. As either prefix can be applied with a connotation of failure to accomplish something,

interpreted as challenging the reported sayings of the Prophet, it can invoke the death penalty in a religious court. (See for example the case of Dr. Younus Shaikh -- amply reported in 2001: you can look his case up on Google -- now on death row in Rawalpindi for suggesting to his medical students that the Prophet may not have been circumcised before he declared his prophethood.)

45 days of being homeless certainly does not prove this issue one way or the other. Consider allowing drug companies to only have to do their clinical drug studies on a single person for 45 days. Your username has the word 'Doctor' in it, but it is certainly clear that you are not a medical doctor.

But I believe Kellog was a major player and spearheading the US circumscision movement.

After more thoroughly combing the archives, I managed to locate the discussions. As you state, they were mostly centered on use of "intact" and "uncircumcised". There was no debate on the use of "non-circumcised", so I cannot see how any previous discussion can be used to claim that "non-circumcised"

About four or five years ago (I can only date BMJ article by where I was living when I first read them) the BMJ invited views on it, with one invited US doctor writing in favour. There was no consensus for making unnecessary circumcision illegal (which was a significant view) but there was for effort

I smiled reading that it is only in recent decades that unnecessary circumcision has become contraversial. Even in 1930 in the UK the rate was 35%, when there was no free medical care and it was something doctors could charge for (as in the US today). I have made a couple of corrections about the UK,

It's just not germane. I don't think you quite took my earlier point. The Qu'ran is not the Muslim Bible in the sense that Protestant fundamentalists regard the Bible. Islam is not "silent where the is silent," to paraphrase the Campbellites. So no, the Qu'ran does not contain the prescriptions for

Prior to 1989, the American Academy of Pediatrics had a long-standing opinion that medical indications for routine circumcision were lacking.

You'd have to give the source of the quotation for it to carry any weight; in any case the proposition that "most...Muslims are not...religious" is iffy to say the least.

Off the top of my head, authors Glick (Marked in Your Flesh) and Gollaher (Circumcision) both refer to Kellog. There seems to be no single root of US circumcision catching on; anti-masturbation was part of it, but so were lots of other diseases and developing ideas about the nervous system and the
1804:; I'm not sure whether the matter was resolved or those who objected to "uncircumcised" simply gave up. I made the point that as the King James Bible uses "uncircumcised" and King James's men can hardly be thought to have taken a pro-circumcision stance, the discussion was more than a little silly. 1722:
Would you mind posting a link to somewhere this has been discussed before? I have searched all 12 archive pages and there does not appear to be any discussion whatsoever. Since the use of "uncircumcised" is so much more common than "non-circumcised", and since "uncircumcised" has been documented by

It's not entirely clear that this belongs in the introduction. If it does, it's phrased too broadly. We can't say that less than 4% are circumcised, but we can say that Rickwood et al estimate this percentage. Nor can we say that they're regarded as unnecessary or that a lower level is targeted by

Nothing that I can see, and as an uncommon (non-common?) term, it just flows badly. I understand avoiding terms like "normal": to a middle-aged American, circumcized is normal; to a young European, the opposite. But I see no value in using an unfamiliar term when there's a perfectly good familiar
