Your complete blindness to the subject is really getting tiresome.

Maybe they shouldn't have predicted their religion on the mutilation of infants genitals. Just a thought.

Sorry, all the population is banned from going to Synagogue, and not just Jews.

Except that specifying "synagogue" very clearly targets Jews. Circumcision is not a solely Jewish tradition or practice.

Also, going to a synagogue isn't a violation of someone else's basic human rights.

Makes me wonder if they'd be so vocal in their opposition if members of the Aztec religion were still around and they were outraged that they can't rip out their enemies hearts anymore.

So when it comes to ritual abuse or mutilation...

Is there a litmus test which can be reliably applied which says, "yeah, this is the point where it's not okay"?

Or are we making exceptions for certain religions without any rhyme or reason?

This is amazing its sad how so many other countries don't have the guts to do the right thing. Its sick how people let babies be mutilated in the name of muh tolerance. Any religion that mutilates children has no place in the civilised world

So you finally do admit it's discriminatory towards Jews?

How is it absurd? A law banning all the population from practicing circumcision is still banning Jews from practicing circumcision.

And Jews are exempt from the law now?

Both circumcision and murder are violations of basic human rights. "Religion" does not justify the latter any more than it does the former.

Adult circumcision is more painful and carries a higher risk of infection. Regardless, circumcision is how Jews show their covenant with God. The Icelandic authorities might as well ban kippas while their at it.

The key difference here being that kippas are articles of clothing that have no permanent biological effect on anyone, while circumcision is a medical procedure that permanently removes a body part from a very young child who cannot give any form of informed consent. Iceland has some pretty outstanding antisemitism problems but I really don't think this is one of them or even really related to them.

Yep, they truly don't care about how terrible this bill is to Judaism. Secular morality has reared its head, and the religious must oppose it.

I'm not discriminating against Jews, I am advocating for equality. Male babies should be protected from genital mutilation the same as female babies.

That Judaism has some weird fascination with the former is their problem, not mine.

According to what and who?

And having a procedure that ultimately effects you very little in your life is completely different from literally taking someone's life.
