By the way, 70% of new converts to Islam are female.

I've heard that the women in Britain are going Muslim to some surprising degree. I guess everyone needs something to believe in. I just put a bag over my head and ask for directions to the liquor store.:)

Where did you get the 70% figure if you don't mind me asking? I am not at all questioning what you've said. I'm just curious. Merci beaucoup.

Yes a badly performed circumcision can lead to serious consequences:

Complications of circumcision

This directory contains articles about the complications, risks, adverse effects, and disadvantages of circumcision and their treatments (not including repair of the circumcision itself; see Foreskin reconstruction). See also Psychological Impacts of Circumcision.


[SIZE=-1][A] Urethral fistula at frenulum (note probe), probably the result of incisional trauma. Three-year-old boy with an almost transected glans from circumcision at birth, but parents did not note the abnormality until age 3. Urethra had been completely transected (arrow). [C] Neonate referred immediately after Gomco clamp circumcision in which all the skin of the shaft had been amputated. This is a fairly common complication caused by pulling too much skin up into the clamp and amputating it. Fortunately sometimes there is enough of the mucosal side of the prepuce to fold back to resurface the shaft, but some require a free skin graft. [D] Six-month-old baby was referred after loss of the entire penis from cautery used during circumcision. Evidently both corpora had thrombosed and sloughed, so no phallus remained.[/SIZE]

...The National Organization to Halt the Abuse and Routine Mutilation of Males (NOHARMM) has compiled statistical data on the estimated total number of complications and has made it available on the World Wide Web.

Williams and Kapila estimate that a realistic rate of complications from neonatal circumcision ranges from 2% to 10%. To many men who become aware of the function and value of the prepuce, the fact that this genital sensory organ was amputated from them at birth is itself a complication of circumcision; in which case, the actual complication rate is 100%... For males fortunate enough to survive the surgery without immediate complications, there is a growing awareness among men of other delayed, long-term consequences of neonatal circumcision, which are only now beginning to be documented.

Complications, risks, adverse effects of circumcision


This is a little bit more than I wanted to know. Times have certainly changed in the last half century.:)

I want reparations for my long lost foreskin, where do I apply?

What do you think goes into sausage?

''Where did you get the 70% figure''

We've had several threads on Islamophobia and I found a couple of articles about that - check the search button for those links.

I'm actually surprised it is that low....I'd read somewhere 80%.

There is no cure for stupidity.

''No....lack of bigotry, acceptance of anything, is the greatest stupidity of all.''

So said Hitler.

In any rational argument about politics, the first guy to bring up Hitler loses....:)

And the greatest stupidity was not Hitler'sintolerance, but ours for tolerating him for 6 long years while he built strength.

''Goodwin's law applies''

I guess that's why so many right wingers on this forum refer to Muslims as 'Islamofascists'' whenever they lose a debate on the subject of Islam. A sure sign of having no brains. ;)
