Admitting Moses was a warrior, of sorts, would get in the way of Medved's point. Can't have that.

Just now he was talking about some Muslim's performance of female circumcision--what he calls genital mutilation of women--so they don't experience sexual pleasure.

He passes right over the criticism that his own Judaism (and too many American parents, imho) surgically alter new born male children and effect, sometimes very adversely, the sexual responses of males.

In both cases, one man's (religiously motivated) circumcision is another man's barbaric genital mutilation.

Ahhh....newzie....circumcision enhances sexual pleasure and performance for males. From a non-religious perspective, its one the Jews greatest contributions to Western civilization.

Hey...just in case you didn't know it...muslims circumcise their males as do the Jews.

Jews and Christians DO NOT SEXUALLY MUTILATE their girls as a religious ritual...as do MOST muslims.

Orthodox Christian males are not usually circumcised. I know in the USA, many Christian baby boys are circumcised ....but without religious fanfare.
