German government speaks out in favor of circumcision

Banning circumcision seems like a pretty simple anti-foreigner measure.

I don't think this is what the judges at the court in Cologne had in mind when they made that ruling, though. They probably made that ruling in good faith but they lacked any kind of historical and religious sensitivity.

I am not certain of it but it's certainly possible. It's a line of research journos shy away from, obviously.

That the government now agrees with the position the Greens took the day after the verdict is due to Jewish, not Muslim, pressure, of course.

So what is that purpose it's supposed to serve?


The court ruled against circumcision of children. Indeed, in the original case the child was four years old - not an infant.

The slight is quite likely (though not certain) to be entirely imaginary.

If you have a mental health problem that you need to blame your parents' silly medical decisions for, and a lot of money to spend, there are crook quacks in America that specialize in foreskin reconstruction.

What's next... folks won't name their kids since the kids have a right to choose when they're old enough?

Given that this is a thread involving Bobby... you stepped right in it.

I do find that I have a problem - not often, but regularly enough to be of note; however I think it is usually caused by the room being inadequately air-conditioned.

No, that sounds like an issue of old age.

Protest too much?
