And as already has been stated, United States != world. [[Curcumcision]] says that a sixth of penises worldwide are circumcised. I would argue that that is not a large enough number in the current context.

Wrong. A sixth of the entire male population of the world is a huge number. But that is a moot issue since the article is in English and written for an English speaking audience. I would venture to guess that among male English speakers the percentage is even higher.
