  • Location: The value of a forum such as this one is not in that one can post a question and receive an answer, but in that the question has most likely been asked before, and the answer is available to him that will but only use the search function.
  • Programs: 1. Search on google. 2. Search in the right board of DDF with a general word or two. 3. Read the wiki. 4. Read the thread. 5. Ask away.

Circumcision rates don't  include those done out of the hospital. Muslims were 69% and Jews were 1%. Hmm.. wonder if the fact that most Jews do it out of the hospital contribute to those %'s...

Also, there are 1 billion moslems and only 10 or 15 million jews. So it quite stands to reason that there would be 70x as many moslems circumcised as jews.
