Re: Why do Men get Circumcised?
By that reasoning the very basic clause of islam is flawed, i.e. belief in the unseen.
Why is it then that Muslims unconditionally believe in the existance of Allah. We have never seen Him yet we testify that there is no god but Allah. Not very rational is it? I hope every muslim on the planet is ashamed of himself/herself for so carelessly believeing in Allah's existance unconditionally.
If its possible to unconditionally believe in the existance of Allah, there shouldnt be a problem following His commandments without question.
I completely DISAGREE with you. I know kaleem praised your post. despite that...............................I still diagree with your point of argument.
Seeing is believing seems to be the message you are giving. So in line with your argument.............Do you believe in Atom? The core component of matter?
Yes or No......
If yes then why do you believe in something which you never have SEEN and will never ever be able to SEE?
My point is that its alright to believe in something if not seen or heard and with all the circumstancial evidences one is compelled to believe that there is a much powerful existence which is running the universe.
Hope my point is gotten across.
Just remember, Islam is not for dumb people. it never asks for unconditional submission. If someone tells you otherwise then that person might very well be WRONG.
islam promotes and encourages thinking and there are many many verses in Quran to encourage a person to use something called brain.
Coming to the topic................
As many people have tried to explain to the thread starter who has tried to show that circumcision is a good practice to follow by all means.
The thread starter commited the biggest mistake in of putting all eggs in one basket which is 'losing the so called sensitive part of the skin' as an evidenct that the practice of cirumcision is wrong.
First of all, losing foreskin has never ever been found to be a basis of complaints by a man in the history of mankind that the man regretted and said..........I wish i had not gotten circumcised so i could have more sensitivity or pleasure.
Circumcision is heiginic (Many bacteria may find safe heaven inside the folds of skin) it also prevents penile cancer. Circumcision has been found to reduce unnecessary friction if you know what I mean.
Millions even billions of men have been satisfied in their lives after being circumcised and those who look for these kind of excuses need further evaluations and appropriate treatment!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Why make an issue on a piece of tissue?:)
Just remember, the biggest organ of pleasure in the body is not the penis or whatever.......its the brain.:)
