Circumcision

With girls it's done in different ways.
Sewing them closed is one, and cutting out the thing that allows women to experience pleasure during sex is another.
It's done for men and women. But when done to women it's seen as being much more horrific. It's all based on their faith...
So if it's not wrong for a male to have it done, then is it wrong for a female?
It's all based on faith right!?
Personally, I don't see it as being wrong for it to be done to males, but find it extremely wrong to do to females. I guess I am a little bias on this category because I am girl.

No. It is not based on faith for women. In various cultures there are many justifications for these practices. A girl who is not circumcised is considered unclean by local villagers and therefore unmarriageable. A girl who does not have her clitoris removed is considered a great danger and ultimately fatal to a man if her clitoris touches his penis.
One of the most common explanations of FGC is local custom. Women are often heard saying that they are unwilling to change these customs since they have always done it this way and are not about to change.

It's not the opposite of circumcision, it's called female circumcision, female genital cutting (FGC), or female genital mutilation (FGM). On a woman's wedding night she is ripped apart by her husband and only experiences pain, not pleasure. Loss of a woman's genitalia also allegedly makes her stressed, anxious and aggressive and removes her ability to show warmth and caring to her children or to bond with them.

The sewing up of the vaginal opening is Infibulation.
Female circumcision is more accurately called Female Genital Mutilation and is is not the equivalent of male circumcision.
And neither have anything to do with Islam, although it is said to be practiced with the authority of the Prophet.
