    On the surface, I have to say that this pic seems absolutly shocking to me.

    That's probably why it's at Yahoo pics. Because most citizens of western culture will find it shocking as well.

    It looks horrific, but then i have to observe that the child seems as calm as if the father was rubbing a feather on the childs head.

    That's one thing that makes stops me from jumping to a quick judgement on this picture.

    Hell, I screamed bloody murder as a child the first time my toenails were trimmed by my father

    [EDIT]

    you'll have to just copy and paste it. Yahoo doesn't seem to allow direc links to their stories

    Some cultures might feel the same way about circumcision.

    Interesting observation. I could see that.
