Circumcision, though not mentioned in the Qur'an, is practiced among Islamic peoples and is most often considered to be a Sunnah (a holy tradition). The explanation for Muslim circumcision is that it is a sign of Abraham's covenant with God. This is the same explanation that is used in Judaism.
Some Muslim scholars believe circumcision is a requirement. Some others say it is not required. There is even a movement within Islam that opposes circumcision on the basis of the belief that it is a sin to alter the body in any way.
In Muslim countries where it is practiced circumcision usually pre-dates Islam. For instance, there are records of it being common in Egypt as far back as the Sixth Dynasty (2345 - 2181 BC).
Because Gods wanted all descendants of Abraham to be circumcised.
There is no single Islamic view of birth control. One widely (but not universally) held viewpoint is that preventing conception is allowed for any reason except fear of poverty, as God provides the income of each human being.

Who brought Christianity and Islam to southeast Asia?
There were many Marco Polo going to China, The Portuguese sailing to the Philippines around the same era, The Crusades and the many multicultural traders and mercenaries travelling along the Silk Road Route brought along with them both Islam and Christianity, which eventually found its way to Southeast Asia. Many sailors, mercenaries, religious savants, slaves, and traders of both religions travelled and worked side by side. No doubt, as in any war, The Crusades probably also had many warriors who changed loyalties, committed war crimes, or became pacifists and took off on their own along the Silk Road to distant lands unknown.
The Silk Road's major artery was between The East Coast of China and Constantinople (Istanbul, Turkey) with a smaller offshoot reaching as far as Italy. However other minor arteries went to Arabia, India, Korea, and Southeast Asia.

The Qiblah, for any point of reference on the Earth, is the direction of the Kaaba. In Muslim religious practice, supplicants must face this direction in prayer. Muslims do not worship the Kaaba or its contents; the Kaaba is simply a focal point for prayer. If someone is inside the Kaaba, they are allowed to pray facing any direction. In ancient times, Muslims traveling abroad used an astrolabe to find the Qiblah. Peace.
