A prayer leader who was allegedly paraded naked in Chohar Sharif village has blamed the police of siding with the accused men.
Speaking to journalists on Wednesday after filing a complaint with the district police officer (DPO) of Haripur, Chan Muhammad Khan, 51, who is the prayer leader at a local mosque, said his son Naeem Shehzad had an argument with the son of an influential local, Ajmal Khan, around three days earlier.
On the evening of the same day, he was about to give the call for evening prayers when Ajmal Khan, Amanullah, Abdul Salam, Sahab Khan and Safeer allegedly barged into the mosque armed with pistols and AK-47 rifles and dragged Chan out of the building. Chan claimed the men did not even bother taking off their shoes before entering the mosque.
“They first disrobed me and then paraded me naked in the village for quite some time. The villagers saw what was happening but did not dare to rescue me because the accused are influential people,” said Chan between sobs.

You definitely do not need to pray naked! Please read more of The Muslim Times and http://www.alislam.org (There are many books and articles in the library there). What is your location? (so that we can contact you)…

Do I need to get circumcised to be a muslem
Circumcision started with Abraham a.s. God ordered him to circumcise himself and all his male family members and servants. That was an everlasting pledge or promise or covenant between God and Abraham. It is all mentioned in the bible OT.
Abraham carried out the pledge and circumcised himself at the advanced age of about 86 years.
There after, Ishmael was circumcised and Issac too and all children of Jacob a.s. i.e. Moses and all Jews. Jesus was also circumcised, and friends (Disciples) of Jesus were circumcised.
Muslims being followers of prophet Abraham through his son Ishmael and through Muhammad who arrived after 50 generations, practice circumcision. All Muslims (specially born Muslims) are circumcised soon after birth.
There is some medical point to it. Some praise it as being very clean, healthy system. Others oppose it. Muslims and Jews observe it as a duty. Christians have drifted away from Sabath and circumcision, and started consuming flesh of swines against the teachings (practice) of Jesus.
There is no harm for alan b to go into surgery for circumcision even before becoming a Muslim.

Alan b: Go to any hospital and afterwards let us know what happened.

what strange country are you living in? Go to a private doctor.
Unable to pay private as I,m not working at the moment, I would like to get it done
In any case, circumcision does not seem to be absolutely essential for an adult convert. (We never heard that when thousands of Muslims converted in the early days that they all got circumcised). The rule is to circumcise the children.
