I suppose it is somekind of 'test' whether we are willing to follow his commands? But then again, circumcision is usually performed when one is still very young, meaning one can't consent to it. Abit weird 'test' that.

Oh well. I gotta say I'm surpised to hear that Muslims shave their pubic and armpit hair, didn't know that. Seeing how they love their facial hair, I just assumed that extended to other parts of the body as well!
Hey there,

When you are being circumcised you are not cutting into the body exactly, it is cutting around the foreskin to remove it. It is a surgical operation like a tonsil removal.

You are correct in the sense that it is a test for those who need to get it done at an older age or even for the parents who have to get it done for their children. The infants are spared from this test so if you ask them about it, they will say that they are happy and didn't have to deal with it.

Shaving pubic and armpit hair is very hygienic correct?

Take care!
