Ok....I'm an agnostic Jew, but I know that Judaism has that rule about tattoos, and we obviously circumsize, as well. So I'll take a stab at this. I'm not sure if it's the same in Muslim culture...but the no tattoo thing in our culture is often exagerated.....you can still be buried in Jewish cemetaries with a tattoo...or piercing...etc. etc. It's more a suggestion then a strict rule. Circumsision is an actually madated rite that must be peformed.
As far as any inconsistencies with the other principle....I have No idea. I guess the suggestion is more along the lines of.....don't change your holy temple of a body any more than you have to...except you have to do this to your weeweee.

In the Old Testament, circumcision was to distinguish God's people from the rest of the world. I'm not sure but my opinion about tattoo's are you can't mark your body in a unholy way because our body is a "temple" for God. Your body needs to be and look clean and respectful. Your inside (love, compassion, integrity, joyful), your outside (clean, well groomed, respectful), also with circumcision is what distinguish God's people of today. That's my opinion.

All birth control methods known at the time of prophet Mohammed was permitted (including nursing the infant, pulling out before ejaculation and not even having intercourse [abstinence] if agreed upon). It is not allowed to practice birth control without the expressed consent of the spouse. One man specifically asked the prophet that he did not want to have children and therefore if it would be ok to pull out. The prophet said it was not a problem. The important point here was the intent was to avoid pregnancy. Sh. Masoor Ali Nasif writes in his 5-volume "Taj Al-Jami" that it is permissable to use today's birth control methods as long as both spouses agree and there is no healthy hazards.

It's much easier as when the man comes the *** and get stuck between those folds and I have heard quite a few women complain that they wished their husbands would've got circumcised in the first place.

scientific researches have proved that it is healthy and the men will avoid so many diseases by circumcision and it is not forbidden in Islam because we have to keep our selves healthy.
peace be upon you

good point, i know its for health reasons, but i wonder myself what excuse the muslims will come up with because in theory it does change what god gave at birth
