NO. Circumcision, though widely practiced in the Islamic World, is a tradition, not a Qur'anic mandate and, therefore, it is perfectly permissible to be an uncircumcised Muslim.

Very few' As circumcision is a Judaic religious rite that has spilled into the Islam world as well. There is no reason for circumcision and there is no religious compunction in India to engage in this sort of mutilation.
It is called 'circumcision'. Circumcision for males is compulsory per Islam religion (and also Judaism and Christianity) and is practiced since prophet Abraham life when he was commanded by God to perform circumcision for his sons. However, religion doesn't call for female circumcision although it may be practiced in some communities per local traditions and cultures.
In Islam, circumcision is typically performed during childhood, often between the ages of 7 and 12. This timing aligns with religious beliefs and also allows for easier recovery and lower risk of complications compared to performing the surgery in adulthood. Medical recommendations generally support circumcision during infancy or childhood for these reasons.
Infant circumcision is far less popular than it used to be. Apart from within Judaism and Islam, infant circumcision is uncommon everywhere in the world except the United States. Even in the United States, circumcision is far less common than it used to be. In the 1980s up to 80% of newborn males in the United States were circumcised. By 2007, the rate of circumcision had dropped to less than 40%. The large drop is due in part to the recognition that there is no known medical benefit to circumcision.
Updated Answer (from Islamic Perspective)Male circumcision is compulsory, per Islam and Jeudaism religions following God commands to Prophet Abraham. Female circumcision is not religion requirement in Islam. In addition, male circumcision does not negatively affect the degree of feeling pleasure during doing sex. However, female circumcision affects negatively and dramatically the degree of feeling pleasure during doing sex.AnswerI think its because male circumcision is less disfiguring than female circumcision, which amounts to genital mutilation. Male circumcision has roots in Judiasm and onward into Islam. Therefore, it is a religious rite for about 20% of the world. In addition, in the USA anti- masturbation forces thought circumcision the answer to excessive self- satisfaction of the male glands. Both female and male circumcision in my eyes are barbaric rituals that are bogus.The majority of the worlds men do not accept circumcision as the foreskin plays an important part of the maintenance and performance of the penis. The reason it is not being looked down upon the degree that it should be is because it is a Jewish tradition and Jews have a large influence over editorial in the mainstream media of the west. They are both genital mutilation though.
Nothing. There is no medical reason for circumcision, and the vast majority of men in the world are not circumcised. Circumcision is practiced by some ethnic and religious groups including by Jews and in certain sects of Islam. However, most other religions, including Christianity, Hinduism, and Buddhism, do not practice circumcision.
