I don't think it's a huge stretch to consider supporting circumcision of children as being a call to violence against children, though. Just because it's being done for religious reasons and it has been done by a large population for a long time really doesn't change what it is: involuntary body modification of children.

Is medicine not in some way a form of body modification? Can children choose to abstain from medical procedures?

Irreversible surgery without consent is extremely inappropriate if it's not solving a critical concern. Circumcision of children is about as inappropriate as female genital mutilation that is done after birth in parts of Africa.
