What is this about?
A couple years ago there was a brief hoohaw in California when an anti-circumcision group got a referendum on the ballot. The referendum was soundly defeated, and the hoohaw went away.
Now a black-robed saboteur in Germany has ruled, without any legislative action, that circumcision is illegal. (It's a little surprising that the California hoohaw didn't involve a black-robed genocidist; normally they're the ones who create psychopathic insanity.)
In response to the saboteur, German Jews and Muslims are working together in protest. The Kraut government is apparently responding with a law to override the black-robed psychopath.
It's good to see that real democracy is still functional in Germany on some issues, even if it's absent on basic questions of energy and economics.
I still can't figure out why anyone would object to circumcision. It's clearly becoming a favorite cause among some leftist factions, but the, um, point of their objection is obscure. Something to do with "body integrity", whatever that means.According to Wiki, circumcision has never been common in Germany, which makes it more of an exclusively religious question than in America. So perhaps the black-robed saboteur is just an anti-religious bigot? I dunno, but it would be typical.
As with most other ancient religious recommendations, circumcision is just good public health practice. Even in a modern country with good medical care, you'll live longer and need less medical care when you obey Moses and Mohammed. ¶ 5:07 AM
