MASS CIRCUMCISIONS: WILL THE WORLD GROW UP?

J. Grant Swank, Jr.

It’s true.

Thousands of Moroccans were circumcised all at one time. Why? To show their allegiance to the two-year old prince who likewise was circumcised.

So it goes with rituals here and there. Here it’s in Morocco, according to AP reports from Rabat.

King Mohammed VI’s son was circumcised yesterday. Therefore, thousands of males throughout the nation also "went through the procedure in a massive show of solidarity for the prince."

Moulay Hassan, the king’s offspring, was circumcised, such marking "the start of three days of nationwide celebrations across the north African kingdom to honor the event."

With that, more than 5,000 boys went through the same in Morocco’s metropolis, Casablanca. Outlying cities and villages witnessed even more boys undergoing the procedure.

It used to be seen through by barbers. Today, so the reports go, there are doctors overseeing the circumcisions.
