German court rules religious circumcision on boys an assault

[Thor]

Hmmph. Assault, made by a doctor?

Absolutely! If you tied me down and had a doctor perform a circumcision on me without my consent, I would say it's an assault.

And I think these photos clearly illustrate what can result from such an assault:

The courts ruled that circumcision amounted to unneeded bodily mutilation, calling it "assault".

As is female "circumcision" seems like equality is happening here. This type of "culture" is nothing but ingrained tradition based on superstition as far as I can understand it

Agreed, didn't mean to single out males as the only recipients.

Cutting babies body parts doesn't seem like the best way to praise any God. Unless it is, which can only mean that their imaginary friends have disgusting taste in their indulgences.

I don't recall being "tied down" while being circumcised. Obviously you know nothing of it. Besides, it's not in our custom to circumcise a baby. We get circumcised around 6-7 years old.
These are only a few failed examples. If these were commonplace, our lineage should have ended a thousand years ago.

I doubt it will be overturned. In this day and age people tend to understand that a baby is a person with rights of their own. Fuck if their parents want to fiddle about with their genitals and/or remove body parts against their will. That's just tough.

As I said. The jews and westerners practice circumcision on an infant. Our customs state that circumcision should not be performed on a baby, but on an adolescent who knows what is about to happen. It will be overturned, for it serves nothing, really. Unless you happen to force other countries to adopt the same stance towards circumcision and parental rights, I guess you can very well scrap the idea.
But as I said, it's their country, their call. I'm sure after a few Jewish objections(and you know, Germans cannot refuse them, can they?), this will see an end.

The "culture" you trumpet there is a relic of iron age barbarism, Mehmet.
Glad the Germans aren't afraid of telling them off.

Barbarism schmarbarism. I don't think that the Germans are the ones to tell us about barbarism, and I certainly don't think that Germans do actually care. They certainly didn't until this point. Besides, it's a procedure that has healthy benefits aswell, as the christian west also seems to be circumcising their youth, although lacking the cultural and religious overtones that are prevalent in our country.

There are no healthy benefits to circumcision if you don't have a medical condition that means you require it.

Don't play the nazi victim card it's getting old and invalid.

And he western Christians that do it due to health benefits do it because of misinformation and tradition(mostly Americans continuing what the military forced on them) of the past.

What an elegant and rational response.

I don't think that the Germans are the ones to tell us about barbarism,

Tu quoque/appeal to hypocrisy (look it up)

besides, it's a procedure that has healthy benefits as well

As far as I'm aware there are no medical or health benefits to justify circumcision as a broad practice. Of course, I may be wrong,and there may have been some recent research of which I am unaware,be thrilled if you would share it.

Get off it, Mehmet. The only reason it is done is because some book of Iron Age horseshit says "god" wants it done.

Well if the fucker wanted it done....why did he put it there in the first place?

Methinks thou art full of shit.

There are some very minor benefits to circumcision, but the cons outweigh the pros.
