That's a result of spending much time in prostration during prayer. The skin becomes drier.

It's a religious custom; a "good Jew" like Jesus would be circ'd.  It's a health issue in countries where there are tons of other health issues; circucisionis the least of their worries.  It's not commonly done in western Europe, and in the US recently the rate is only about 50% of newborn boys.\n\nInsurance won't cover it any more.  It's unnecessary.

severe heat or strong acid/base will burn them right off.  Anything that leaves a scar will alter them.

This may be due to differences in the number of smegma-producing glands present in the glans penis of each individual. The more glands there are, the more smegma produced. Also those with poor hygiene, will accumulate\nsmegma under the foreskin.

Notice that two of the most violence-prone peoples are the Middle-Easterners - Arabs, Jews, Palestanians? They all practice circumcision, which is a totally useless and medically unnecessary act. No one has a right to cut off any piece of my body without my permission. Infants cannot give permission for a useless, unnecessary and potentially dangerous removal of their foreskins.

I know I know I know!!!! there are 2 actual reasons to this. \n\nno.1 a culture that was passed on, for in arab, there is always sand storms and the cover is to protect their face.\n\nno.2 the muslim, men have high ego, it is a made known that only the husband of the woman have the rights to see their face or touch them.... \n\nI went to arab once, thinking that it might be a conservative country, but when i go to the shopping malls.... the undergarment shops is all over the place and all of these shops sells sexy outfits so that these women can show their husband when their alone. \n\nSelling G strings in arab sure is big business !

God is really annoyed with people cutting bits of their penises off - he put the foreskin there for a reason, dammit!

It's because of the scab. It is just like dry skin. The old skin dries up and new grows underneath.

it's not that which goes into the body that defiles a man.\n\nLev 19:28  Ye shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor print any marks upon you: I [am] the LORD. \n\nnational geographic did a study on this and believe that this was the act of people cutting themselves and rumbing dirt in it to make scares.  they were doing this for the dead.  they would also ink so that it would leave tattoo marks for the dead.  the verses before and after refer to worship of anything else other than God and so therefore i assume that is what this verse is refering to also.  just like when it says do not trim the corners of your beard.  what some of the pagans were doing is trimming their hair and beards a certain way to try to harness power from the stars (wierd i know).\n\nif i read correctly Jesus told people to follow the law in a non legalistic way.  so follow the spirit of the law which is worshiping God alone.   i don't think it's what you do but why you do it.  God will judge the heart right\n\nwe are to be good stuarts of the things we have including our health so don't eat to much candy.

In Islam circumcision is not mandatory.\n\nBut because Islam says that one must not have even a drop of urine on a person (outside the organs of course) when praying five times a day, then it would be hard for those uncircumcised people as they need to clean their "thing" every prayer time.\n\nSo it is not mandatory, but highly highly highly highly highly recommended.

There is a disorder in which your body produces excess scar tissue. This keliod disorder can make scar tissue grow in huge excess causing bulbous scars. If this is the case though it would not only happen in the mouth it would happen everywhere, and usually this would not happen in a child so young.

What is your race...that is a good thing to know.  Those from the Mediterranean countries and those from the black race seem to get these more often.  Keloids are an aggressive form of scar formation when the body gets 'injured' (pierced, in your case).  Removing them causes more scar tissue, thus bigger keloids.  You may go from a pea sized to a cabbage sized.  (Not likely, but you get the picture).\nRemover them yourself?  I hope that you do not entertain that thought becuase of the trouble that you may get yourself into...I am sorry to say, but you need a plastics guy to get you the most cosmetic appealing removal, and they will tell you that there is no guarantee.\nNo more piercings for you.  You will only propigate more keloids.

Their koran is not as sacred as they pretend. When Muslims sneak into our country from Mexico, they leave their "holy book" and prayer rugs in the desert to help conceal their identity.\n\nLet's see...when they capture one of ours, they cut off his head in front of a camera. When we capture one of theirs, we put them in a climate-controlled cell, give them three meals a day (that conform with their religious needs), and...oh, dear...put underwear on their head and take naked pictures to embarrass them.\n\nGee, would I rather have my head chopped off, or have a pair of panties on it? I'll think about that and get back to you.\n\n.

Prophet Muhammed ordered us to do that...\n\nIt's mainly to differentiate the muslim from the nonmuslim...\n\nThe second reason it's a healthy habit..
