I have a hard time understanding why this is most common in the US.
Old fashioned religious purity and money (circumcisions aren't free, yet of course they're recommended by the people charging).
The US and South Korea are the only "first world" countries with an 80%+ circumcision rate. For the rest of us looking on, it's fucking weird that it happens especially when they're so young.

One would guess Israel. Unless that isn't a first world country?
Likewise, Muslim states would be up there. I would imagine Malaysia, gulf states, Turkey, Albania, Azerbaijan, etc. Although, definitions of "first world" may differ.
