Why does some joke about a wallet and a briefcase come to mind?

The practice—once mainly carried out by barbers

And Berbers.

Berber barbers butcher babies.

Do it with pinking shears and put those French Tickler manufactures out of business.

This reminded me of the revenge for the defiling of Dinah in Genesis.

24 And unto Hamor and unto Shechem his son hearkened all that went out of the gate of his city; and every male was circumcised, all that went out of the gate of his city.

25 ¶ And it came to pass on the third day, when they were sore, that two of the sons of Jacob, Simeon and Levi, Dinah's brethren, took each man his sword, and came upon the city boldly, and slew all the males.

26 And they slew Hamor and Shechem his son with the edge of the sword, and took Dinah out of Shechem's house, and went out.

Thousands Take Part In Mass Circumcision

Wow! When I first saw this I thought it was going to be something to do with Catholics.

Actually, prior to modern medicine, barbers used to perform medical services. Read more here

The Internal Revenue Service sent an auditor to a synagogue. As the auditor reviews all the paperwork, he turns to the Rabbi and says, "I noticed that you buy a lot of candles." "Yes, we do," responded the Rabbi. Well, Rabbi, what do you do with the candle droppings?" he asked. "A good question," noted the Rabbi. "We actually save them up and when we have enough, we send them back to the candle maker and every now and then, they send us a free box of candles." "Oh," replied the auditor somewhat disappointed that his unusual question actually had a practical answer.

"Rabbi, what about all these matzo purchases? What do you do with all the crumbs from the matzo?" "Ah, yes," replied the Rabbi calmly. "We actually collect up all the crumbs from the matzo and when we have enough, we send them in a box back to the manufacturer and every now and then they send us a box of matzo balls."

"Oh," replied the auditor thinking hard how he could fluster the Rabbi. "Well, Rabbi," he continued, "what do you do with all the foreskins from the circumcisions?" "Yes, here too, we do not waste," the Rabbi answered. What we do is save up all the foreskins, and when we have enough we actually send them to the Internal Revenue Service." "Internal Revenue?" questioned the auditor in disbelief. "Ah, yes" replied the Rabbi, "Internal Revenue. And about once a year, they send us a little prick like you."

Some 5,000 boys were circumcised -snip- The ritual of circumcision, known as “t’hara” or purification in Morocco, signals the entry of young boys into the Muslim community. The practice—once mainly carried out by barbers— today takes place primarily under a doctor’s supervision.

Young boys, not babies?? Ouch. Carried out by barbers? Make that 'barbarians'. Hope they have plenty of these:

I don't have the guts to post this as a separate thread, but this place seems appropriate:

A Texan is drinking in a New York bar when he gets a call on his cell phone. He hangs up, grinning from ear to ear, and orders a round of drinks for everybody in the bar announcing his wife has produced a typical Texas baby boy weighing 25 pounds.

Nobody can believe that any new baby can weigh in at 25 pounds, but the Texan just shrugs, "That's about average down home, folks...like I said, my boy's a typical Texas baby boy."

Congratulations showered him from all around, and many exclamations of "WOW!" We heard one woman actually fainted due to sympathy pains.

Two weeks later he returns to the bar. The bartender says, "Say you're the father of that typical Texas baby that weighed 25 pounds at birth. Everybody's been making bets about how big he'd be in two weeks. So how much does he weigh now?

The proud father answers, "Seventeen pounds."

The bartender is puzzled, concerned, and a little suspicious. "What happened? He already weighed 25 pounds the day he was born!"

The Texas father takes a slow swig from his long-neck Lone Star beer, wipes his lips on his shirt sleeve, leans into the bartender and proudly says, "Had'm circumcised"

Was reading this over, and an Enzyte commercial popped up on the TV.
Somehow, it just seemed so wrong.

Can someone please explain the ethical difference between cutting off the prepuce of a boy's penis without a valid medical indication and cutting off the prepuce of a girl's clitoris without a valid medical indication?

The circumcision of Moulay Hassan, the king’s only son, marked the start of three days of nationwide celebrations across the north African kingdom to honor the event.

Yeah, nothing says "PARTY!" quite like a knife to the genitals.

Now we know why so many of them are so easily convinced to become suicide bombers.
