Yes, Muslim males get circumcised. It even mentions in the Bible that Abraham circumcised his son Ishmael (mother Hagar). Muslims are descendants of Ishmael. Jews are descendants of Isaac.
Gen 17:23 And Abraham took Ishmael his son, and all that were born in his house, and all that were bought with his money, every male among the men of Abraham's house; and circumcised the flesh of their foreskin in the selfsame day, as God had said unto him.
Gen 17:25 And Ishmael his son [was] thirteen years old, when he was circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin.
Muslims in some countries also practice female circumcision called infibulation.
