What the Bible says about Penises
Exodus 4:24-25
The LORD met him, and sought to kill him. Then Zipporah took a sharp stone, and cut off the foreskin of her son, and cast it at his feet, and said, Surely a bloody husband art thou to me.
Deuteronomy 23:1
He that is wounded in the stones, or hath his privy member cut off, shall not enter into the congregation of the LORD.
Ezekiel 23:20
For she doted upon their paramours, whose flesh is as the flesh of asses, and whose issue is like the issue of horses.

Nowhere.
It's an ancient Egyptian superstition based upon their worship of snakes.
The egyptians admired how a snake shed it's skin every year, and considered it a sign of eternal youth.
So in order to stay younger for longer they decided to cut a piece off their own snake.
There is no religious background after that to back up circumcision.

It was really just a Puritan obsession with masturbation. They figured it would be harder to masturbate with a mutilated penis. Less that 20% of the world's male population are mutilated in this way. The trend is swinging away from doing this as a routine procedure in America as it has risks associated with it and is a liability to doctors and insurance companies. It is also completely unnecessary to routinely sexually mutilate babies in this manner.
