Research suggesting that male circumcision could drastically reduce the spread of HIV in Africa has been in the spotlight recently. However, a group of doctors and academics are currently lobbying against the practice. And it was reported recently that Twenty South African boys have died following botched circumcisions in the Eastern Cape Province. Is circumcision common in your community? Is it an important ritual, or something you oppose? Would reports that suggest circumcision reduces the risk of HIV encourage you to be circumcised, or to have your children circumcised? Do you have access to the procedure? Do you know what it involves?

pls let's have u takes on this matter.... no insult pls.  Wink

But circumcision was a divine injunction to Abraham and His seed for a covenant with God. Would God that ordered it be wrong?

Not everything needs a meaning especially when it's God asking.
