Nobody I have ever met is against circumcision because it is a common practice amongst Jews. Everyone I know, including myself, is against it because it is a wholly unnecessary and irreversible procedure forced on a child before the child has the capacity to consent or object to the act. I assume you would be against the Islamic practice of female genital mutilation by cutting off a helpless child’s clitoris, despite the practitioners insistence that it is a hallmark of their culture, because it is barbaric. I just apply that same level of reasonableness to the male organ. And the number of centuries a people have been doing something has no bearing on the quality of the practice. Edit, to add: I did not intend to imply that female genital mutilation was prevalent in Islam, only that it is done and justified amongst Muslims at a not-insignificant rate.
