Germany outlaws child circumcision – Muslims and Jews should be afraid
FIRST they came for the halal and kosher meat.
Then they came for the clothes.
Now a court in Cologne, Germany, has decreed that circumcision constitutes bodily harm and is thus outside the a legal guardian’s authority.
The Financial Times Deutschland reports on a Muslim doctor, who, at the request of the boy’s parents, circumcised a four-year-old. The procedure did not go well. The boy needed hospital treatment.
Holm Putzke of the University of Passau states:
“The verdict is very important, especially for doctors, because they now have legal certainty for the first time…The court has – unlike many politicians – not to be deterred by the fear of being criticized as anti-Semitic and anti-religious. This decision could not only shape the future case, but lead in the best case with the concerned religions to a shift in consciousness, to respect fundamental rights of children.”
What next..?
