Why do they do this, and is this the reason that their men are always fighting?

Who told you that? It's nonsense. Moslem and jew "circumsize", not "castrate" their sons (if they did, they would become extinct within one generation).
Wikipedia says" The origins of the practice are lost in antiquity. Theories include that circumcision is a form of ritual sacrifice or offering, a sign of submission to a deity, a rite of passage to adulthood, a mark of defeat or slavery, or an attempt to alter esthetics or sexuality."

God told Moses to circumcise his sons, His wife said not to But Moses did as God said. His wife said "Oh, What a Bloody Husband you Are". that is the bible story. The part that I find funny is the wife's name which is Zipper, very close to that slider thing on the front of my jeans that has come close to circumcising me a few times when I was just a little kid and had not figured out how to work it safely

They don't castrate their sons, they circumsize them, which is just cutting the foreskin off of the penis, which really doesn't effect them at all. They do this because it is part of their religious tradition, it really has nothing to do with why they are always fighting.

Castration is the removal of the testicles.
They circumcise which is removal of the foreskin.
Please... do more research before you ask questions like that.

You can't be serious...
The word you're looking for is "circumcision". Look it up. It's a very different matter.
Also, why are their men always fighting? You mean, unlike men of other religions, who never fight?
What planet do you live on?

Castrate? That's news to me. I knew that Jewish people believed in circumcising.
