For your information, even Jesus was circumcised. About one-third of males worldwide are circumcised. In US alone about 60% are circumcised.

Army should wake up and go for quality recruitment. Not third grade fellows who ruin the image. These rascals should be mercilesley dealt to avoid further happenings.

Thank you sha, you have quite rightly confirmed that Christianity & Islam is one and the same.

The person call Jamal cannot be a Muslim, he is trying to give new interpretations for Islamic laws, so don't drag Islam for unwanted issues.

More to come.... If a captain can't survive with cost of living, how can a normal soldier survive...

Jamal u require pedagogy of civilized community, we Muslims respect others value and never tolerate them.,

No one knows the ulterior motive of this incident. Could be a plan to ban the "Hijaab". To be investigated thoroughly.

If he used a toy pistol and knife they should have given him toy money then.
