For males, although islam does it often too.

Was more referring to female genital mutilation though. I think that's exclusive to islam and is absolutely abhorrent!

what are you talking about? females genitals are never touched in islam. The only thing that important is she remains a virgin till getting married.

What are YOU talking about? Please.

Islam doesn't prevent or prohibit FGM. There is plethora of Islam literature that praises the practice and promote it. The countries that choose to ignore this sort of literature ignore it for the same reason they ignore the Islamic literature that covers slavery; neither is prohibited by Islam but neither is compatible with modern life.

It's important to understand the difference between what Islam allows/promotes and when modern moderate Muslims choose to ignore specific Islamic teachings that are deemed too barbaric nowadays.
