Islamic circumcision accounts for the great majority of all circumcisions in the world. The incidence of male circumcision reaches nearly 100 percent in the swath of Islamic nations that stretch from Nigeria in the west to Indonesia in the east.
Religious requirement
Though absent in the Koran, male circumcision is considered a religious requirement in Islam, and it is performed on male children of varying ages prior to puberty. Converts to these faiths may also choose to undergo adult circumcision, but it is not always required.
Pssychological issues
Cansever (1965) administered psychological tests to twelve 5-to-7-year-old Turkish boys before and after Islamic circumcision and reported the results in her landmark paper, which was published in the British Journal of Medical Psychology in December 1965.[1]
