A German court has ruled that circumcising male infants for religious reasons, as Jews in particular have done for thousands of years, constitutes grievous bodily harm and is a crime, regardless of parental consent.
A public health specialist who is also a traditional Jewish circumciser called the ruling “stupid,” suggesting Wednesday that while “politically-correct modern liberal thinkers” would not be open to persuasion about Jewish values, they should at least consider studies finding wide-ranging health benefits from the procedure.

+4I was born in Germany, and still have family there, and let me tell you their way of thinking is so off base, I am glad to have the life I do here in America and enjoy not having your Government tell you what you can do, who you can do it with and when to take a crap. I am going there next week, and it is always an eye opening experience for me, I love visiting family but I enjoy it more when the plane wheels touch me down back in a country where as of right now we still have our freedoms...lol
In a religious circumcision, less is actually [suppose to be] removed and it's done when the baby is eight days old, rather than in medical circumcision at possibly an older date when healing takes longer and the procedure is more painful. Medical doctors, however, are better trained and have better equipment.
While many have gotten away with going without circumcision, wearing condoms 24/7 isn't a cure-all solution. You ignore nature in that we were intended to grow and multiply (expect a *higher* probability of getting cervical cancer from your uncircumcised mate), and the excessive material (foreskin) that rests over and constricts the penis. During an average day, sweat accumulates between these areas.
Since sex ed is, I believe, mandatory these days, (and search internet search results have gone drastically leftist the last two years or so), I'm guessing this shouldn't be a problem posting. You might find it interesting. http://vimeo.com/8102970

Insults aren't necessary (false comparisons aren't either, imo). The issue is very divided; but statistically there are a far, far fewer complications having a baby circumcised (and actually prevents serious complications later in life) rather than the minuscule cases where rabbanim have taken off too much and restricted movement, or where trained medical doctors wind up in a medical malpractice suits.
Since you aren't going to change my mind, and appear to have been hooked by the aggressive leftist lobby, this is all I have to say to you. Before being militant and believing your opinions infallible, you need to spend more time in the grown-up world. I recommend speaking to a wider range of men on the topic.
“Circumcision is akin to vaccination,” Ehrlich said. “It has significant benefits in preventing urinary infection in infants, with its small but not negligible mortality rate, in preventing AIDS in adulthood, in preventing penile cancer as well as cervical cancer in female partners.
