Re circumcision In Islam, it is explained as a measure of hygiene rather than some holy practice. They might have a point - hot desert days, not much water, not much of a washing habit. Removing the foreskin might have done the Muslims of those days a world of good. I haven't read the bible, but I get the drift that love and peace was his message Err, yes, in some places. In others, however, there is some strange cruelty, often at the hands of God or people held in high esteem by God - take a look at the story of Lot who offers his two virgin daughters to be gang-raped by an army of soldiers if only they would stop banging on his door, or my personal favourite, Elisha who prays to God to do something about the 35 or so kids who make fun of his bald head and God sends two she-bears to tear the children into bloody bits. Moral of the story: Religions do not always talk about peace and love. Often they talk about stuff we would find inhuman at this day and age, which their followers conveniently forget all about and just attack other religions for similar stuff.
