but this has been bugging me for ages, do men get circumsised at birth or not? Sorry I just don't know and I don't mean to sound thick.

If it is done for cultural reasons then usually it is done within about a month of being born. That's certainly true with the Jewish faith; some other faiths do it as an 'initation' ceremony into adolescence, but it isn't as common.
But if it is done for medical reasons it quite often isn't cut until adolescence either.
Having a foreskin makes little difference to sexual feeling! All you have to do is regularly wash the foreskin to keep it clean!
i wouldnt say ingnorant...just many people dont know much about Islam
Nope, Islam does too.
Some sections of Islam also circumcise females (i.e. chop their clitoris off) but this is nothing to do with the religion and everything to do with mysogyny.
you do realise that for once i dont feel like killing you
I shall have to try harder;)
Nah, it's what both MoK and I said last time- we don't dislike the religion or those who practise it but we do dislike certain aspects of certain cultures "attached" to that religion.
Which was a point you didn't want to grasp:p
