The answer

Circumcision is established in Jewish law and mentioned in the Old Testament, where God commanded Abraham to circumcise every male as a sign of the covenant. Circumcision in Islamic law is the removal of the foreskin that covers the glans. There is no significant difference between the two laws regarding the method of circumcision, and it cannot be definitively stated that this is what happens in American hospitals.
