The history of circumcision goes back to ancient generations in the distant past of human time, far before the birth of the Messenger Mohammad, Lord Jesus Christ and the Messenger Moses. Nobody can date the idea of circumcision and the procedure for its implementation. The idea of circumcision and its application in an era in the past is unknown. For the safety of health, it was necessary to perform circumcision on male children, because it was inevitable to ignore it at that ancient time.
It has nothing to do with religion and God, but with the passage of time and the attention and care of some tribal elders and the messengers about health, they introduced it into their laws and customs out of their belief in cleanliness and the safety of human health.
In our commentary, we consider its history before or during the time of Abraham, the father of the Hebrews – Jews, who performed it on the males of his tribe and generations.
The Hebrews – Jews are the source and base in the civilization of the health of the tribes and the foundations of guidance to civilization, before all the rest of the tribes in their past era, because the Torah is the rule and foundation. With the passage of time, this custom became a duty in the legitimacy of the Jewish faith. The Lord Christ was circumcised and the proof of his circumcision is mentioned in the Holy Bible.
Why Did Abraham Perform Circumcision on the Males of His Tribe?
Before we answer and explain this question we want to define circumcision.
Circumcision
Circumcision is the cutting of a sexual part of the male and female.
For the male, this is a hygienically beneficial act of cutting the ‘foreskin’ of the baby’s frontal penis and it is called ‘circumcision.’ The boy is circumcised. For a female, this is a criminal act, ‘a crime,’ namely the cutting of the ‘clitoris’ and it is called circumcision. A girl is circumcised. And the two are called circumcision of the girl or the boy.
Abraham found male circumcision in some tribes outside his own to be useful and necessary for important reasons:
Before and after the era of Abraham, most human society was a tribal society that moved from one place to another, as we mentioned earlier in the book. Sometimes water was scarce and only available for drinking and cooking. A human creature could not wash his body and waste water until after many weeks, when he reached a well, a spring, a river, a lake-an oasis or wisely from the gathered-filled water of rain in leather bags…Especially in some countries in the Middle East and desert regions.
Since the Hebrews – Jews were Semitic tribes who loved cleanliness and had taken it as a necessary means in their faith; the Hebrew creature could no longer ignore it in his life. Because of the lack of water and the regular cleansing of the body, the Hebrew – Jew faced health problems, some of which were dangerous, exposing him to infections, diseases and even death.
Naturally, universally among peoples, in the case of healthy male performance, specifically in the adolescent youth, at the height peak of the best of his reproductive organs and at the time of sexual dreams in his sleep, there is no escape from ejaculation. In that case the young youth or man excretes his sperm from the penis to the outside of it and contaminates his undergarments. In most cases, some of the fluid is trapped within his foreskin internally around the head of his penis. Without washing immediately and within a short time and days, the liquid generates an unpleasant smell similar to the smell of male goats in the breeding season. That unpleasant smell rises in the process of inflammation of the liquid from heat and dirt because it is not washed with water, especially in the young virgin male.
Because the person was in remote areas and due to the lack of water, the chiefs of the tribes were forced to perform the operation of circumcision to save the health of the male from a state of danger.
Abraham applied the idea of obligatory circumcision on the males of his tribe after their birth to avoid bad smells and diseases for the sake of health. Circumcision has spread among all different tribes and has become, with time, a necessary means in some religious and civil legislation of the tribe’s beliefs.
The most famous tribes that applied the method of circumcision and are still preferred by their people in the age of civilization today are the Jewish people and the Mohammadians. The Christians have abandoned circumcision because they believe that man has reached the age of civil civilization, the abundance of water in homes and the improvement of bathroom design. They consider circumcision not necessary in the time of modern civilization and considered it a criminal act against the child and have no justification, proof or relationship in the law of religion and God.
In the 1960s, European architects/designers created a ‘bidet’ for use in the bathroom to wash the male and female genitals. This necessary washbasin is one of the best advancements that the sophisticated civilized man has achieved in the engineering of the bathroom and the civilization of cleanliness to take care of the safety of health. Today, many high elevated civilized peoples, led by the Japanese, have developed the bidet in electronically advanced engineering. They included it in private and public baths, which draws the admiration of the intelligence of Japanese people in their engineering and service technology.
As for the feelings of the circumcised male and sexual intercourse, circumcision is not an obstacle in the case of marriage. But sexually the feeling of the uncircumcised male at the time of his practice is more pleasant and ecstatic than the feeling of the sexually circumcised male, because the foreskin helps him increase his orgasm. God did not address any human being about circumcision, but rather its creation is due to the thinking, faith and foresight of the chief of the tribe in performing his operation for health safety on males.
There is another rumour about the procedure of circumcision that says the chief of the tribe wanted circumcision to be necessary for the males of his tribe to identify any male in the event of his loss from the tribe or at the time of the fighting in the invasion. This rumour is ridiculous and we do not consider it.
Female Circumcision
With regard to female circumcision in some peoples, this is something that neither the rationale or logic of the conscious, elevated civilized human being, nor justice can be satisfied with.
It is a heinous barbaric criminal act that has absolutely no benefit to female hygiene. On the contrary, it is very harmful to her physical and psycho-mental functions in the event of practicing sex. Circumcision is performed on a girl or woman by cutting the clitoris from her.
This important sensitive organ in a woman’s life is brought together by all her bodily senses to more than eight thousand nerve endings to help her feel the sensation of sensory arousal and orgasm. How dare the criminals do this criminal, heinous, barbaric act on a girl?
The circumcised victim lives her life with a wretched, repressed soul and does not know how to set up her sensual body during sex and in her married life. Female circumcision is performed on her when she is a child who does not know the secrets and benefits of the gift of life from the Creator and does not have the will to reject it. She is circumcised at the order of her parents or her raw-foolish fanatical relatives, with a religious/ideological excuse, which has no connection with the law of religion or the worship of God.
The purpose of her circumcision is to become sexually impotent, no longer having any desire for sex and a prohibition from practicing it before her marriage. Her fate is like the fate of an impotent male when his testicles are removed.
This barbaric act is considered one of the worst fanatical intellectual atrocities against women, especially in the advancement of human justice in our modern age. Whoever performs this barbaric act on a girl or any woman, the perpetrator must be arrested and brought to justice for trial and impose the most severe penalties and appropriate imprisonment.
NEXT TIME I WILL TALK ON SELLING/TRADING, until then have good times with care!
