German Rabbi faces criminal charges over circumcision
Jewish World ^ | 08/22/2012 | Ynet

A German rabbi has been criminally charged for performing a circumcision, committing what the indictment calls "bodily harm," media outlets reported on Tuesday. The charges against David Goldberg, who is a mohel and the Rabbi of the city of Hof Saale in Bavaria, is the first known case following the anti-circumcision ruling issued by a German court in May.According to media reports, the charges were filed by a physician from the city of Hessen, and was based on the court ruling which stated that performing a religious circumcision ritual can be considered a crime. A Bavarian radio station reported that the doctor was among the signatories of a letter sent to Angela Merkel, which claimed that "religion should not be allowed to permit harming of the helpless."

Are the Krauts exempting imams from persecution when they circumcise?

maybe they should warn the public about this dangerous man and those like him

Maybe they could, oh I dunno.. make them where a gold star on their clothing

Hey, why not? It’s been done before

Undoubtedly the next step.

Gee...Germans persecuting a Jew for being Jewish. How do you say “deja vu” in German?

Yep, the first law the Nazis passed was banning the Kosher slaughter of animals.

Allegedly, no. In practice? Doubtful.

Muslims also perform circumcisions.
Are they covered by the same laws or does it only apply to Jews?

Are you ready to be offended yet?

Good old San Fransisco, U.S.A. is outpacing the Germans in antisemitism now-a-days.

It’s hard to draw a line between circumcision and moslum mutilations.

“just sayin’”

The link between queers and the new anti-circumcision forces is strong.

Queers aligning themselves with anti-semites is logical, if one believes a primary motiviting factor in both behaviors is a hatred of G-d.

I used to not believe that, but I am increasingly thinking it is so.

It’s a YELLOW STAR, not gold star.

Gold stars are worn by generals of the Army and police chiefs.

The word is about
There’s something evolving
Whatever may come
The world keeps revolving

They say the next big thing is here
That the revolution’s near
But to me, it seems quite clear
That’s it’s all just a little bit of history repeating

"religion should not be allowed to permit harming of the helpless."

Seems to me that this line of reasoning could be used as an excuse to criminalize a number of religious practices and ideas.

“It’s hard to draw a line between circumcision and moslum mutilations.”

By “moslum mutilations” do you mean the removal of the clitorus and labia of young girls so that they cannot achieve orgasm that muslims use to further degrade and control women?

Only a retard could not see the distinction.
