TO GO WITH AFP STORY 'Indonesia-religion-Islam-health-women-rights,FEATURE' by Arlina Arshad This picture taken on February 10, 2013 shows a young Indonesian girl crying as doctors perform her circumcision in Bandung. Indonesia, home to the world's biggest Muslim population, argues that this form of circumcision is largely symbolic, not harmful and should not be seen as mutilation. The United Nations thinks otherwise.

It's Time to Talk About the Cuba Summit
By Kate A. Oberdorfer, Contributor
