Circumcision
Circumcision is a semitic ritual, largely attributed to Judaism for its presence in the Western world, in which the foreskin of a male is cut off. Although female circumcision also happens, it is much rarer and discussed less often. Sometimes, Jews may also perform what's called "Metzitzah B'peh", which is a practice in which a practicioner of circumcision will suck blood from a baby's circumcision would to clean it.
History
The ritual is believed to be over 15,000 years old, but there is no consensus as to how exactly it came to be practiced. The ritual was especially popular among Semitic people, including Jews, Arabs, Egyptians, and even Ethiopians. The reasons for this phenomenon are not known, but are theorized about, with the leading theory being that maintaining good hygiene in an arid environment would've been more challenging.

While the Muslim world is the epicenter of the circumcision ritual, a large amount of mutilated people outside of it can also be found. The main regions of interest are:
United States, Canada, and Australia
The primary reason for this prevalence in North America and Australia is the immigration of Jews to the colonies during the 19th century, bringing the practice with them onto Goyim as a mark of humiliation.
Ex-Yugoslav states
During the medieval period, the region has been widely settled and influenced by the Muslim Ottoman Empire, where they have brought the ritual to the local Slavic populations. Other countries under the Ottoman rule were more resistant to this foreign practice, and maintained a relatively low prevalence there.
Indonesia
Around the 9th century AD, Islam is believed to have arrived in Indonesia via trade. As trade isn't only the exchange of goods, but ideas as well, it is believed that circumcision is one of the rituals adopted by the locals together with the adoption of the religion of Islam.
South Korea
While primarily a modern-day phenomenon, the practice in South Korea can largely be attributed to the Korean War, where American troops have introduced the ritual to the locals who never have even heard of it prior. After the war, circumcision rates have sky-rocketed to the point where South Korea is believed to the be country with the single-highest amount of male circumcision in the entire world.
Popular reception
The topic of circumcision is a widely-debated one. The average White person is neutral on the topic, while those already mutilated (primarily Golems) believe it to be a good thing. Both Fascists and even Communists view the practice in an extremely negative light, naming it an ancient Satanic ritual that mutilates the body with no reason to exist in the modern day.
