Germany's circumcision ban 'worst attack on Jews'

London: A German court's ban on circumcising baby boys has provoked a rare show of unity between Jews, Muslims and Christians who see it as a threat to religious freedom, the Daily Mail reported on Friday
Doctors have also warned it could increase health risks by forcing the practice underground.

European rabbis meeting in Berlin Thursday promised to defy the ruling by a court in Cologne city last month.They plan further talks with Muslim and Christian leaders in Stuttgart next week to see how they can fight the ban together in that country, the newspaper said.

The ban is a new example of creeping prejudice in European law against non-Christians, after a Swiss ban on minarets, French and Belgian bans on Islamic veils in public, and an attempted Dutch ban on halal meat, said chief rabbi of Moscow Pinchas Goldschmidt.

He said outlawing circumcision was the "worst attack on Jews since the Holocaust".

The Cologne court took action after police were alerted by a doctor who treated a Muslim boy for bleeding after he underwent circumcision.

Germany`s circumcision ban `worst attack on Jews`

If one person held down a crying baby boy and sliced off part of his pen**, we would send that person to jail. If millions of people do it, we call it ``religious freedom.``

Rhymes perfectly with Joseph Stalin's statement:

One man's death is a tragedy

Millions of death is a statistic.

BBC News - Angela Merkel backs circumcision right after German ruling

LOL Worst attack on Jews?? So the law against cutting off the skin at the end of the penis is more worse than the Nuremberg Race Laws..not to mention the Final Solution.

Don't mess with them.

I wouldn't call Germany outlawing circumcision to be the worst attack on Jews since the holocaust. A ban on circumcision does not affect the Jews alone, it affects everyone following an Abrahamic faith to an extent. While I can understand the reasons some people may consider circumcision barbaric, it is better for Germany to lift the ban over circumcision. The reason for this is that not only is it an ancient tradition among many ethnicities, it is a compulsory religious requirement in the case of Judaism & Islam.

why would they ban it????

bored

nothing worthwhile to do or think
so lets just interfere in the way of life and customs of other people


mostly many things about the east or middle east (the cradle of civilization) seems wrong and barbaric to them.
their expression of freedom is therefore
by drawing cartoons, ridiculing eastern customs
and banning the religious practices etc

why would they ban it????

It was banned because a complication occurred during the circumcision of a 4 year old Muslim boy.

BBC News - German circumcision ban: Is it a parent's right to choose?

The case stemmed from a circumcision on a four-year-old Muslim boy who had to be taken to hospital when complications developed. That, unusually, put the case into the legal system and the doctor was prosecuted.

However, the German government is trying to protect the religious rights of Jews & Muslims according to this article below.

gulfnews : Germany vows to protect circumcision

The German government on Friday pledged quick action to protect the right of Jews and Muslims to circumcise baby boys on religious grounds, after a court ruling that prompted international outcry.

Chancellor Angela Merkel’s spokesman Steffen Seibert told reporters it was “concerned” about the judgement published by a Cologne regional court last month calling the religious rite of circumcision a criminal act.

“It is absolutely clear to the federal government that we want Jewish, we want Muslim religious life in Germany. Circumcisions carried out in a responsible way must not be subject to prosecution in this country,” he said.
