Russell Crowe, the Gladiator star, has sparked outrage after describing circumcision as barbaric in an angry four-letter outburst on the social networking site Twitter.
The Oscar-winning actor laballed the practice “barbaric and stupid” during a row with his Twitter followers, telling them to “f--- off” if they disagreed with him.
The 47-year-old engaged in an angry exchange with one follower, whom he branded a “moron”, before imploring Jewish people to “stop cutting your babies”.
The debate followed a question by one of his fans called @picknic11 who asked him: “My son is due soon. Do you think I should get him circumstanced? [sic]”
Crowe, who hit the headlines in 2005 when he was charged with second-degree assault in New York after throwing a telephone at a hotel employee, tweeted: “Circumcision is barbaric and stupid. Who are you to correct nature? Is it real that GOD requires a donation of foreskin? Babies are perfect.”
He added: “Many Jewish friends, I love my Jewish friends, I love the apples and the honey and the funny little hats but stop cutting yr babies.
“I will always stand for the perfection of babies, I will always believe in God, not man's interpretation of what God requires.
“Last of it, if u feel it is yr right 2 cut things off yr babies please unfollow and f--- off, I'll take attentive parenting over barbarism.”
The outburst provoked dozens of responses from his followers. One said: “There's actually a scientific reason for [circumcision], u should google it.”
Crowe replied: “My friend, "human" science has caused too much damage, don't be a moron.”
Another follower told him: “I disagree on Circumcision , It's more hygienic and nobody remembers it”, to which Crowe replied “Hygienic? Why don't you sew up your a-- then?"

Liberals only say something when it serves the higher agenda of the moment. At this moment, it is fashionable to suppresses evil Joooos.
Dr. Dean Edell has been on an anti-circumcision crusade for a couple of decades now. Nothing new.
‘Jews, on the other hand should know better, and I would think they would be open to rational debate.”
rational debate about what? about a tradition that is 5000 years old which just happens to have a religious basis.
Muslim mutilation of women is not comparable to the practice of circumcising boys.
I doubt you’ll hear Barbra Streisand condemn circumcision. When her son was born in 1965, she was a committed Zionist.
It’s a gay theme. It comes directly from the religion-hating activist gay males.
When my wife and I were trying to choose a school for our son, we couldn't reach Russell Crowe. He was in some third-world country or another shooting a movie or something. But we needed to decide where our little boy was going to go for his first year of school. So, and think for a moment how terrifying THIS was, We had to decide all by ourselves! Talk about scary stuff!
Anyway, that was almost 5 years ago, and our son is doing fine, but my wife and I both still suffer from the lasting effects of the sheer mental anguish we endured when we were not able to get Russell Crowe's input on such an important decision.
Do you think we have grounds for a lawsuit against Mr. Crowe?
;-)
So much for this guy. I used to like him. Master and Commander was my favorite movie, even. Now he is just one more antisemitic actor. I won’t watch anymore of his movies.
“Hey crowe stick with your day job and if we want your opinion we’ll kick you in the ba**s to let you know.”
This is his day job. Hollywood actors are expected to promote liberalism in order to keep getting parts.
There is no higher risk of cancer. I will tell you a simple way to find out. If you think that the rate of cancer should increase or a specific type of cancer because of a child not being circumcised, then all you have to look at is the cancer statistics between a country that practices circumcision and one that doesnt. You will proobably find that there is no difference. Example, on the issue of penile cancer, a study done on japan sweden and norway shows that the incidence of penile cancer was the same as the United States, the difference being that those latter countries have extrmeely low circumcision rates, while we fluctuate between like 50 and 70 or something. You would expect there to be a difference if not being circumcised was a driving force. Its about 1 per 100,000 per year.
All that your child will need to do is clean himself, which is normal, no? It started becoming popular because crackpot doctors were linking it to, hernia, kidney stones, bladder infections, insomnia, epilepsy, asthma, INSANITY, syphilis, bright’s disease. The problem with following ancient peoples advice is that they are, more often than not, wrong.. For example a study in 2006 actually showed circumsized men are actually at lower risk of contracting syphilis.
In any case, I dont think I will be circumcising my children as I do not have any religious obligations to do so. Id bet that most Evangelicals do it because they want to be Jewish. Sorry I cant but help taking a jab.
Disagreeing with circumcision and antisemitism are two separate things. I don’t feel the antisemitic part, just a strong opinion on this issue. Frankly I am circumcised, and I am not sure I would put a child through it, although the health benefits are numerous which weighs in its favor.
F U R C
The New And Improved Anti-Semitism!
You’re funny!
Or you and Russell could mind your own damn business.
If you look closely at Russell Crowe’s neck, you will see surgery scars. That’s right.....he is a dickhead.

Crowe: same guy who has had a special love of horses. “They’re just like people”... he told Craveline.
Noble beasts yes, ummm but “just like people”, no...
Never cease to be amazed at the stupidity of Hollywood actors no matter where they come from, even down under.
After emerging actors have been synthesized into that mindset, they suddenly feel compelled to spew out one ridiculous idea after another as if anyone actually cares or qualifies them to give their obviously overrated poignant opinions.
