Ask any Jew.
Which is why the New Testament rejects circumcision and the Church states in its doctrine that any amputation of a body part for non-medically necessary reasons is a violation of human rights...I would say God likes foreskins, he made them. As far as unclean...the foreskin removal was nothing like it is today, they still had foreskins.

The foreskin in the old world was just a snip of skin removed, not the total removal of 15 square inches of skin from the penis. The average American forgets that the total removal of the foreskin (present day circumcision) was a method to control masturbation among men.

There is even a hint in the Bible for the restoration of foreskin. To follow Jesus is to leave the traditions of the old.
