→Medical prophylactical arguments: Penile frostbite
|accessdate=2019-10-18

* '''"[T]he chance of getting penile frostbite is much greater if you’re not circumcised."'''
*: The opposite is the case, and it is completely logical because the [[foreskin]] also protects the [[glans]] of the penis from the cold. The origin of this myth and its refutation are described in the article [[Penile frostbite]].
== Pseudo-legal arguments ==
== Religious arguments ==
The two main religions that still exist, which "challenge" male genital mutilation in some way, are [[Judaism ]] and [[Islam]]. In Christianity there are only marginalized groups such as the Coptic Christians who still mutilate children's genitals. Of course, the demand to mutilate children's genitals is appropriately religiously disguised in the religions mentioned, although it is not anchored in the Quran, the content of which the dogmas of Islam are primarily based on.

* '''"Circumcision is required by God."'''

===Christian religion===
The Christian fathers rejected [[circumcision ]] for Christians at the [[Council at Jerusalem]] in 49 A.D.<ref>[https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Acts+15%3A1-30&version=NASB Acts of the Apostles 15:1-30].</ref>
=== Islamic religion ===
* '''"Circumcision has been recommended by the Prophet Mohammed."'''
