GERMAN COURT BANS CIRCUMCISION

BBC:
A court in Germany has ruled that circumcising young boys for religious reasons amounts to bodily harm. 
In a decision that has caused outrage among Jewish and Muslim groups, the court said that a child's right to physical integrity trumps religious and parental rights. 
The case involved a doctor who carried out a circumcision on a four year-old that led to medical complications. Thousands of Muslim and Jewish boys are circumcised in Germany every year. 
Although male circumcision - unlike female circumcision - is not illegal in Germany, the court's judgement said the "fundamental right of the child to bodily integrity outweighed the fundamental rights of the parents". 
Circumcision, it decided, contravenes "interests of the child to decide later in life on his religious beliefs".
THIS IS ANTISEMITISM.

AND IT COMES  FROM A LEFTIST  JUDGE - NO DOUBT - DESPITE THE PROVEN FACT THAT CIRCUMCISION PREVENTS HIV TRANSMISSION.
