Male infant circumcision is declared illegal in Germany.

anagram
Here is my take on this news.
Jewish people have lived in Germany since before the Middle Ages.
The Muslims have not.
And maybe this is a stealth attack on the Muslims?

Anyway how do you think our wonderful ethnic neighbourhoods have received this news?.....
From a personal point of view , it does not sit easy with me that Germany, with her WWII history should come up with this.

I am all for religious freedom, but the infants do not have the choice - it is simply assault and abuse. The claim that circumcised men have less risk of contracting HIV/Aids has now been disputed, because so many circumcised men think they do not need to use a condom.

Islam, too, Anagram.

I dare say a lot of parents will just have it done to their sons illegally - it's a very big thing (unfortunate turn of phrase, perhaps!) in the Jewish religion, especially.

Good news. About time too. Is Germany the first country to do this?

The human right issue for the parent to be allowed to practise a religion of choice will come head to head with the right for the child to give consent to what amounts to a non-medical procedure. In my book the person who is suffering the precedure wins every time. When the child reaches the age of consent then he/she can decide whether circumcision is right for him/herself.

Hooray! - well done Germany! Time for UK to follow suit; or better still an EU directive.

This is long overdue.

Physical abuse. There will be uproar about religious persecution and the human right to practise a religion of choice.

I hope that so-called female circumcision is already against the law.
