Malaysia moots cross-cultural circumcision
Circumcision is a rite of passage for young Muslim boys, and in Malaysia it is common for the ceremony to become an event with dozens, or even hundreds of boys being circumcised together. Now thereâs a picture only Michael Jackson could love. Now the prime ministerâs religious affairs adviser has suggested that circumcision can bring Malaysians of all races and religions together. Yeah, they all grabbed their crotch on hearing this. Dr Abdul Hamid Othman said that with the growing popularity of circumcision among the countryâs non-Muslim minorities - who see it as good hygienic practice - they too could be invited to join in the celebrations with their Muslim friends. He believes the idea could promote better race relations and he wants to see a nationwide circumcision ceremony organised. Boy, I canât wait to read the comments on this post.
