It's not hatred, it what I have seen for decades in many dimension. I have only came to a level of not disguising the truth anymore. I say as it is. The muslims have their own too. They are generally more tolerant than their Christian counterparts, except for the northern muslims who tends to be more violent when it comes to what they term blasphemy.
We were here when Christians justified and support the western massacre of girl children in Iranian little girls school and the genocide in occupied Palestine. To them everyone in those countries is a Muslim and as such is an enemy of their religion and deserves to die. Who do you think programme you guys like that? Pastors!

CIRCUMCISION IS A MUST IN ISLAM, ANY BELIEF TO THE CONTRARY IS IGNORANCE.

I don't believe this stats
Same here,especially that figure for nigeria......the region that claims the highest population in the country are known notvto circumcise their males they rather the females.

I wonder how those guys that are not circumcised f**k shocked
It doesn't stop them from procreating,its only the shape thats different.

Circumcisions is part of Islam
But there are several northerners thats are known not to be circumcised,I have seen several but its very rare in the south.

11th to the last on the list
which is actually a good thing. Because I can't even imagine how ugly an uncircumcised male sexual organ is... It means for every 100 male born in nigeria only 1½ is not circumcised, and that might even be maybe the parent forgot or due to medical issue.
Re: Male Circumcision Rates By Country by Bahamas95(m): 9:07am On May 12
E get male wey dem nor circumcize? I don't understand the essence of this thread o. undecided



Na female genital mutilation I know say people dey kick against, not male circumcision.
Re: Male Circumcision Rates By Country by Reference(m): 9:08am On May 12
The more religious a nation is the higher it will feature on the list and Nigeria is a highly religious nation. Circumcision is a cornerstone of all Abrahamic religions.

Are you serious, but almost all the Muslims that I know(Northern Muslim) to be precise are uncircumcised. Also always heard people say Muslims guys don't undergo circumcision

That's simply not true. Circumcision is deeply rooted in Northern Nigeria to the point it's even celebrated culturally. In Hausa communities it's called "kaciya" or "shayi." When a boy gets circumcised, family, friends, and even neighbours usually visit with gifts and support for the child. So claiming northerners are generally known for not being circumcised sounds more like misinformation than "facts."
Re: Male Circumcision Rates By Country by RillJ(m): 9:32am On May 12
I stand to be corrected (have seen many myself though!)

I have seen some northerners uncircumcised, whike growing up,my dad was fond of allowing his security men bring their family to come leave with them,infact they were practically living in our house and we even grew up and played together with some of them and I saw first hand uncircumcised boys but I must confess they were usually mostly from NE even as far as tchad and sudan,we had several of them growing up,also while grown i have equally noticed some grown ones too.

I'm not saying such people don't exist at all. In every society you'll always find a few people who don't follow what the culture or religion strongly encourages. So your experience may be genuine, especially with people coming from different regions or border communities.

But generally speaking, circumcision is heavily normalized in Northern Nigeria. It's tied to religion, culture, and even social acceptance. In many Northern communities, an uncircumcised boy would honestly face serious embarrassment if people found out. It's something people mock heavily to the point the person can become a laughing stock among peers. That's why families usually make sure it's done early and even celebrate it publicly.

But majority of northerners (male) are not circumcised

Honestly, in my 30 years of living in the North before leaving the country, I have never personally seen a single uncircumcised northerner. That's how culturally and religiously entrenched it is there.

But at the same time, every society has exceptions. No matter how strongly something is enforced by culture, religion, or even survival itself, you'll still find a few people who refuse or avoid it. There are even people who ignore medical treatment for illnesses despite knowing it could threaten their lives. So exceptions existing doesn't change what is generally normal in a society.

Ever wondered how cultural traditions vary across the globe? The data on male circumcision shows some of the most drastic geographic differences you’ll ever see. From 0.1% to nearly 100%, the map looks completely different depending on where you stand.
Were you surprised by your country’s percentage?

You called it assumption when it is not written in your quran that your anobi was circumcised

The Quran is a story book about the prophet. It is a book about guidance for mankind

Quran does not discuss physical details of the Prophet's anatomy. However, according to seerah, which is history of the Prophet, as mentioned by Ibn Ishaq, the Prophet's grandfather, Abdul-Muttalib performed the circumcision on the 7th day after His birth, gave him his name and held a feast.
