In males, '''[[circumcision]]''' consists of removing the [[prepuce ]] of the [[penis ]] (the [[foreskin]]). Circumcision is practiced on young Muslim boys (known as [[Khitan (circumcision)|''khitan'']]) and on newborn Jewish infants (known as ''[[Brit Milah]]''), as well as on non-Jewish or Muslim infants in the [[United States]] as a hospital procedure.<ref>{{REFjournal
