I'm not sure how other people's children accept circumcision. But my two sons may be aware and know about the commandment and virtue of circumcision themselves. My son was not forced, and they are the ones who've been asking me when they can be circumcised. I guess the boys are now better at finding information on their own about the circumcision process.
I was anxious as I accompanied them through this programme, but they were fearless because they were prepared. I'm not sure what your religion is, but I'm sorry because, to you, our religion might seem forced and might seem ridiculous.
Everyone has different religious beliefs, so it all relies on us. I'm also aware that people from other religions have done the same thing. But I guess it's not because of their religion. Maybe this blogger @funshee can explain to you her reason why she let her son be circumcised, even as a newborn. I know that it's not just Muslims who are doing it; there must be a good reason why other religions are doing it too.
I also have many friends who are not Muslims but who are also circumcised. It's just that I never asked why they wanted to be circumcised. Because before, I thought only Muslims were circumcised. Apparently, it doesn't matter what religion this is.
Regarding the question of the statistical risk and possible death after circumcision, in the 44 years I have lived, I have never heard of anyone dying because of circumcision. But if you have an article that I can read, could you please give me the link to the article?
Oh yes, now that it's the second day of my children's circumcision, they don't feel pain anymore; they just need to take care of their private parts until they're fine. I do know how concerning you are about the children, but they both are amazingly fine.😁😁
