The History of Circision
According to the Book of Genesis in the Torah, God made a covenant with Abraham (a Jewish patriarch) in which Abraham and his descendents would be given great lands, riches and success, but with one catch: Abraham, his descendants and any slaves purchased or born in his household must be circised by the eighth day of life. Not doing so would mean that the uncircised male would be separate from his people and live without the favor of God. The Jews have held up their end of the deal. Rates of circision remain high in Jewish men: about 98 percent of American Jews are circised [source: WHO].
In addition to his son Isaac, who would grow up to lead the Jewish people, Abraham also fathered a child with a slave woman in his household. This child, Ishmael, was circised according to God's demands but later cast out at the insistence of Abraham's son Isaac. Considered the forefather of the modern-day Arab people, Ishmael passed down the custom of circision to his ancestors, including the prophet Muhammad. When Muhammad's teachings were collected into the Quran, there was no directive regarding circision. Nonetheless, most Muslims do circise their sons for the simple reason that Muhammad was circised. Some Muslims circise their infant sons (traditionally by the seventh day of life), while other Muslim young men are circised around adolescence. Today, almost two out of every three circised men on the planet are Muslim [source: WHO].
hmmmm...maybe God the spaceman..uses foreskins to power his ship...or something like that...
Most Christian sects don't endorse circision, leaving the choice up to the family.
Other religions, such as Buddhism or Hinduism, don't have a stance on circision. Hindus, in fact, may not practice it simply because many people view it as an Islamic practice.
The history of circision has such a strong identification with Judaism that it's easy to think the practice got its start in the Torah, but it's believed that Jews were exposed to the custom by the ancient Egyptians, who practiced it for thousands of years before the birth of Christ. Regardless of whether the Jews taught the Egyptians or the Egyptians taught the Jews, people all over the world who had no contact with either group were practicing circision.
Both the Mayans and the Aztecs circised their male children and the practice has occurred for time immemorial by the native peoples of Australia, parts of Africa, Asia and the Americas. Ancient historian Herodotus mentioned in his writings that circision was practiced by Colchians, an ancient people who lived in what is now modern-day Georgia [source: Tierney].
Whodunit? The Case of the Missing Foreskin
Before trained mohels took over, Jewish mothers once circised their own children. The Jews likely learned the practice from the Ancient Egyptians who themselves were circised by a priest using his gold-adorned thumbnail. In ancient Turkey, barbers -- who also performed bloodlettings and amputations in the latter Middle Ages -- performed the operation [source: Dunsmuir].
