The argument that 'Sunnah Circumcision' should be allowed because Male Circumcision is allowed is to argue that Evil X should be allowed because Evil Y is allowed. The WHO etc should achieve coherence by condemning ''both'' practices, not by condoning them.

'''NB -''' no-one who practices, or defends, FGM refers to what they do as 'mutilation', not even those who infibulate. This is especially so for Muslims, since the Qur'an appears to forbid mutilation ({{Quran|30|30}}, {{Quran|2|195}} - but see [[User:Flynnjed/Sandbox#The Qur.27an Forbids Mutilation|previous section]]). The line which separates 'justified intervention' and 'mutilation is therefore always set somewhere beyond the practice being defended. It can happen that a Muslim will condemn 'Female Genital Mutilation' but on further discussion, reveal themselves to support 'Female circumcision'.
