Deja Vu Germany

From Russia Today:
"Religious circumcision of kids a crime - German court"

A German court has ruled that parents can’t have their sons circumcised on religious grounds in a move which has angered Muslim and Jewish groups in the country. The court in Cologne decided that a legal guardian’s authority over a child does not allow them to subject them to the procedure, which the court called minor bodily harm, reports The Financial Times Deutschland. The possible ban on circumcision provoked outrage among Jewish and Muslim organizations in Germany, where every year thousands of boys are circumcised in their early years at the request of parents. They regard the ban as a "serious interference in the right to freedom of religion." But none of the organizations so far has commented on the verdict, explaining they first need to study thoroughly the reasoning of the judges.  Some experts however don’t rule out that the right for religiously motivated circumcision will be considered by the Federal Constitutional Court.

^ It seems Germany did the same thing back in the 1930s when they started banning religious circumsision and other "small" acts and then expanded to other areas and we all know how that ended - millions upon millions of innocent people murdered. I'm not saying Germany is about to start another Holocaust, but you can't over-look these little laws that usually turn to much bigger issues. Germany should leave well enough alone and allow boys to get circumcised. Boys here in the US are circumcised everyday and most not for religious reasons. Maybe Germany should focus more on the problems with the Euro and the EU rather than start convtroversy (unless they are trying to bring attention away from the economic problems.)  ^
