Not sure your friend could be a reference or a good example to generalize circumcision.And then you got the outliers who can't cross the finish line and end up memorizing Mein Kampf and the Little Red Book, flip a coin. v0v
I do agree that this act being done because it's common/required for a religious purpose is outdated.
But the same could be said in North America where it's "common practice" to do so to avoid potential future issues "just to be safe". It's like removing wisdom teeth once they appear to be on safe side kind of things.
I prefer it to be applied if needed. I have little memories of having it when I was a kid. But back in my time there was no anesthesia or partial anesthesia ...
