#1 Well, I've gone by this item several times without commenting. But, I just have to know. Is conversion to Islam the sort of thing you can do by accident? I mean, the whole being splashed with water or dunked thing is a giveaway for Christianity. And the surgery sorta lets you know for converting to Jewish.

#6 In the US most kids get circumcized (ugh!), regardless of religion.

Which seems to me a rather awfully stupid thing to do... I understand doing stupid things because one's God commands you to do them (the whole "faith" thing) , but doing them just because it's a *fad*?

Really people, chopping bits off one's penis doesn't make people cleaner - in fact it causes more medical problems than it solves. Unless your religion demands it (in which case nothing I'm gonna say will make any difference :-) DON'T CHOP OFF BITS OFF YOUR SONS'S PENISES.

One of the reasons that if I ever die and get reincarnated in America, I'd choose to come back as a girl. :-D

#7 To adopt Islam, you merely have to intone the phrase "there is no God but Allah, and Muhammed was/is his prophet", IIUC. I think you have to do it in Arabic, in the presence of witnesses. You don't have to do it at a certain time, or be rotating counterclockwise or anything like that. I may be wrong.
