Islam and the Dogma of Circumcision

Some interesting quotes from the Koran:

He created everything in exact measure; He precisely designed everything. (25:2)

He designed you, and designed you well. (40:64)

He created the heavens and the earth for a specific purpose, designed you and perfected your design. (64:3)

He created man in the best design. (95:4)

[Satan said:] "I will mislead them, I will entice them, I will command them to mark the ears of livestock, and I will command them to distort the creation of GOD."

Anyone who accepts the devil as a lord, instead of GOD, has incurred a profound loss. (4:119)

We did not leave anything out of this book. (6:38)

The word of your lord is complete, in truth and justice. Nothing shall abrogate His words. He is the Hearer, the Omniscient. (6:115)

Say, "Did you note how GOD sends down to you all kinds of provisions, then you render some of them unlawful, and some lawful?" Say, "Did God give you permission to do this? Or, do you fabricate lies and attribute them to God?" (10:59)

Also, Muslim organizations such as The International Community of Submitters and the devout Muslim founders of Moslem.org and Quran.org have taken a firm stand against the unauthentic and unreliable Sunnah and against circumcision, proclaiming:

To all true scholars of Qur'an the answer is clear. GOD with his infinite grace did not and would not condone such cruel ritual. This act is not found anywhere in the Qur'an. It is only in such man-made innovations such as "Hadith and Sunnah" that one can find such cruel laws and rituals. It is the authors of these blasphemies that are responsible for these centuries-old crimes done in the name of GOD. All throughout history, laws and rituals have been conjured up and put into place in male dominated societies only to subjugate women, children, and the weak.
