The fact that circumcision has been foisted on the western world is a travesty. We all know who is behind that and for $$$ what reasons… Did you know there is such a thing as the “foreskin industry”?! Did you know that many cosmetic products are made from foreskins? judaism, my dear Watson.
A new poll indicates that 74 percent of Denmark’s citizens believe circumcision should be fully or partially banned.
The survey was released Tuesday, the day before a parliamentary hearing believed to be a potential first step in implementing a circumcision ban. Two Danish parties favor a ban, while others are divided on the issue. Only 10 percent of the 1,000 people surveyed believed the decision should be left to parents.
“As I see it, [circumcision] goes against the [United Nations] Convention on the Rights of the Child to circumcise children. I’m leaning toward a ban until the person is of legal age,” Hans Christian Schmidt, a former health minister and now a Venstre member of parliament, told Metroxpress, the newspaper that conducted the poll, according to Denmark’s The Local.
In 2013, the Danish Health and Medicines Authority determined that there was not enough evidence to merit either banning or encouraging the practice. The authority made its determination following a study on the health risks and benefits of circumcision.
According to Danish health officials, between 1,000 and 2,000 circumcisions are performed in Denmark annually, primarily on Jewish and Muslim boys. Both faiths require the circumcision of boys.
Sweden and Norway also are discussing circumcision bans. Earlier this year, Norway’s association of nurses urged the government to outlaw the procedure.

I have been meaning to write a post about this barbaric practice as I had started one earlier on fb page. https://www.facebook.com/saturnworship/posts/700692349985238 – The statistics of medical complications which occur from this mutilation are appalling apart from the sinister practice itself… Sad.
Why are people still complying with Bronze Age edicts? It’s mystifying.
Guess that would pretty much negate the whimpering groups’ diatribe regarding mutilation of Muslim women, wouldn’t it? Rather like the open sewer known as the U.S. spreading lies about how Jesse Owens was treated by Hitler; Hitler is a racist!! they shout…..Jesse, when you get home, move to the rear of the bus, NOW….foul self righteous hypocrites, nothing more and much, much less.
Very foolish; it has been proven that circumcision reduces significantly the risk of AIDS, chlamydia, a range of venereal diseases and cervical cancer.
MUSLIMS AGAINST CIRCUMCISION

Oh my dear jewish Helen. The matter that we’re discussing is the forced imposition of circumcision on western society.
That is a direct result of your tribe’s rapacious greed and desire to remain concealed in Gentile civilization. Imagine if jews were the only ones circumcised, they would be easy to spot…
Ah Helen Solomons is here. Has anyone ever considered that if people had sexual scruples and kept their parts in their panties, they would not need to worry about disease transmission? The only reason rates are so sky high now is the drop in morals thanks to the hard work of the very amoral Tribe. Before that, disease existed but it was not everywhere as it seems to be today.
Besides, we also know, Helen, men who aren’t clipped give and receive much more pleasure ~ joys a proper Jewess will never experience. And that, dear girl, terrifies the rabbis.
We do not get aids, vd etc when we are loyal to our partners and do not mess about. It is as simple as that.
For the rest we have to be hygienic. Simple solution to that problem. It is called soap and water.
It is as easy as that.
Personally, I believe the people of Denmark are making a mountain out of a molehill! I disagree both with prohibiting infant circumcision, and with requiring infant circumcision.
I was circumcised because in 1951 when I was born, doctors in the USA were claiming that it was medically beneficial. (My ‘Gentile’ Christian parents accepted the medical opinion, but had no ‘religious’ reasons for circumcision.) When my first son was born in 1974, our doctor made the same claim so we had him circumcised. In 1981 when my second son was born, our doctor told us that it was no longer considered to have any medical or health benefit, so it was totally a matter of choice. Therefore, our second son was not circumcised.
My parents never mentioned that I was circumcised, so I went many years without realizing anything was missing. I don’t even remember what caused me to realize that I was circumcised. I have certainly never felt ‘injured’ or ‘mutilated’; and I have never felt ‘deprived’ in the matter of sexual pleasure. In fact, I have thought that if sex were any more pleasurable, it might prove fatal! 😆
My older son has never given any indication of feeling injured or mutilated, and has never complained. My younger son, on the other hand, has never been sickly as the result of not having that small piece of skin removed.
My advice to the people of Denmark: mind your own business, and don’t try to force your beliefs on others who don’t share them!
I wrote an article on this subject a little more than 2 years ago ( http://mystic444.wordpress.com/2012/08/14/circumcision-and-religious-freedom/ ), in case you’re interested in a more detailed (and a bit humorous) argument about the matter. My opinion hasn’t changed.
mystic444: But isn’t that exactly wnat infant circumcision is? Forcing your beliefs upon someone who doesn’t share them?
Helen, how is this procedure going to prevent venereal diseases, Aids and all sort of maladies?. Those diseases get to the body no matter that you are circumcised or not. Circumcision is not a protection against any thing, condoms are.
@ Robert Firth (#10) – There is quite a difference between a government demanding or prohibiting something of its adult citizens, and what parents may demand of or prohibit to their children. It is an obvious fact of life that children need to be taught and sometimes compelled to do things they may not want to do. That includes the food they eat, shots and inoculations from doctors, schooling, and religious teaching.
I never got a choice as to whether or not I would get a shot at the doctor’s office; nor did I have a choice as to whether or not I would go to school. I also did not have a choice as to whether or not I would attend church with my parents. I never objected to church attendance; but my brother did, and as soon as he was old enough he quit attending. But he had no choice, either, until his mid to late teens.
I imagine that atheists – some of them at least – teach atheism to their children while the children are still too young to have formed reasonable beliefs of their own. But it would be wrong for government to forbid the atheistic parents to teach their ‘non-belief’ to their children. It is also wrong of government to forbid religious parents to “train up a child in the way [the parents believe] he should go”.
If we were talking about genuine ‘mutilation’, I’m sure it would be a different matter. However cutting a very small piece of flesh off the infant is not genuine ‘mutilation’. The child will most likely never miss the foreskin nor object to having been circumcised. And the circumcision will not be obvious to anyone who sees him (unless someone sees him naked). No one except my parents, my wife, and my doctor would know I was circumcised unless I told them.
That is not to say that I advocate circumcision – I don’t. But there are many things with which I strongly disagree, which I am nevertheless not willing to forbid to others who DO agree with them. I believe in the RIGHT and DUTY of parents to “train up” their children as they see appropriate (including compelling them to do things to which the children object) – even though the children may later rebel against what they were taught or compelled to do. That’s entirely different, though, from government compelling adults as to their religious (or anti-religious) beliefs and practices.
