I may be wrong because you say I'm wrong, but, according to several medical studies I've found, I an actually correct.
Here's a nice neat synopsis of several articles on the subject. There are easily more - they are everywhere ion the internet.
Personally, I would err on the side of caution. If there is ANY chance that there might be trauma, I would not do it. Religious culture or not. I come from a background where "spare the rod and spoil the child" was the proper way to raise children. Sometimes religion and tradition is just plain wrong.
