Malaysia is to consider using mass circumcision ceremonies to promote racial harmony.
Circumcision is a rite of passage for young Muslim boys, and in Malaysia it is common for the ceremony to become an event with dozens, or even hundreds of boys being circumcised together.
Now the prime minister's religious affairs adviser has suggested that circumcision can bring Malaysians of all races and religions together.
Dr Abdul Hamid Othman said that with the growing popularity of circumcision among the country's non-Muslim minorities - who see it as good hygienic practice - they too could be invited to join in the celebrations with their Muslim friends.
He believes the idea could promote better race relations and he wants to see a nationwide circumcision ceremony organised.

Circumcising everyone? That's a great idea! Finally the divide between circumcised and uncircumcised can be eliminated. No longer will that barrier serve to create hatred between the circumcised and uncircumcised that has lead to all major wars and conflicts in the bast five millennia.
Fact: A circumcised on circumcised crime has never been committed.
