Do they get circumcised? If they do is it because of religious or traditional reasons?

Yes they do. But the age of the child depends on the culture. Most Muslim families get their kid circumcised when they are about 1-2-3 years old. But in some cultures like Turks, they sometimes wait until the kid is 6-7-8 years old. So i guess the age limit is that getting him circumcised before he gets his teens.

I know my brother was about 7-8 years old when he was circumcised and i was 9 years old when i had mine.

Believe me its not a nice memory :) They put in about 5 needles and inject stuff in your personal area which should be a PERSONAL AREA!

They also celebrate the event as Jewish people do in Bar Mitzvah or the Latino people in Quinceanera. So many cultures see this event as a sign of stepping into manhood.
