In the Jewish religious tradition it is done at eight days of age. Muslims can do it anytime before puberty, and the elective non religious circumcisions which are still popular in the US are performed within the first two days of being born. However regardless of the reason there are no medical reasons for this procedure, other than the prevention of cancer, the prevention of urinary tract infection, and the hindrance of AIDS.
No. Except for the Jewish ones...
Boys get circumcised, while girls just have baby naming.
John the Baptist, just like all Jewish boys, was circumcised and named on the 8th day after his birth.
Yes he is, Drake is jewish and all jewish babies are circumcised as part of their religion.
It's easy: 1. Jewish boys get circumcised, Jewish girls just undergo baby naming 2. Jewish boys have BAR Mitzvahs, Jewish girls have BAT Mitzvahs 3. In Orthodox Judaism, Jewish men are in charge of the synagogue while Jewish women are in charge of the home
Yes, after 8 days unless the baby's health doesn't permit, then they wait until the baby is healthy.
No
No. Female Circumcision is prohibited in Judaism and almost no Jewish women are circumcised. Female Circumcision is much more common in Africa and the Islamic World.
Muslim boys are circumcised anywhere between age 6 and 13, depending on the family and where they live.
The question does not read clearly.1) If it is asking whether the males or females in the family get circumcised, the answer is Males:Gen. 17:10 This is My covenant, which you shall keep, between Me and you and your descendants after you: every male among you shall be circumcised.2) If it is asking whether the male to be circumcised comes to be circumcised on account of his mother's Jewish-ness or his father's Jewish-ness, the answer is that the mother determines the Jewish-ness of the child and whether or not that child should be circumcised. (This comes from the Talmudic Interpretation of Deut. 7:3-4.

He can certainly be circumcised while not being Jewish and convert later, but the requirement to be circumcised only applies at the moment of conversion. If the non-Jewish mother converts before the birth of the child, the child is born Jewish.
No, Jewish boys have always been circumcised at 8 days old. The only exception is when health issues force a delay, but even then, circumcision is always done as soon as possible.
yes, this is there equivalent to a Jewish boy being circumcised
