FES, Morocco - The infant son of King Mohammed VI was circumcised Thursday, and thousands of Moroccans also went through the procedure in a massive show of solidarity for the prince, a news agency reported.

The circumcision of Moulay Hassan, the king's only son, marked the start of three days of nationwide celebrations across the north African kingdom to honor the event. The boy turns 2 next month.

Some 5,000 boys were circumcised in Casablanca, Morocco's largest city, and thousands more in other cities and towns, the official news agency MAP reported.

The ritual of circumcision, known as "t'hara" or purification in Morocco, signals the entry of young boys into the Muslim community. The practice — once mainly carried out by barbers — today takes place primarily under a doctor's supervision.

And so what do they do with the 5,000 little pieces of skin now?

do they just throw it away...or keep it in a scrapbook like in Meet the Fockers...?

Yes, but have you ever heard of female circumcision? It's where they cut off the clitoris. In africa. And it's probably painful.

actually, in many parts of africa they circumsize girls.

and in iraq, hussein had the clitoris cut off so that sex was no longer pleasurable for women.

just a couple factoids.

That called Female Gential Mutilation (FGM), not female circumcision.

They either chop-chop the clit, or they sew it together. Basically the try to make sure they never devirginize or have an orgasm.

Horrible practice.

Edit: btw...im cool and Jewish, bris after 8 days bitches
