Nonsense. Jihadist murder, for instance, is a "religious ceremony" that the state has every power to regulate (states don't have "rights"; they have "powers").

And genital mutilation is a barbaric custom, might I add.

I didn't know they started so young. How many baby wingwangs has your Rabbi sucked today? Seems the Catholic church carried it a bit too far though. lol This would make and excellent South Park Episode!

Somehow the idea of Rabbi's sucking baby penises seems a tad ... er inappropriate perhaps?

New York City health officials said the procedure had given a baby a fatal infection.

The mohel was tested and was found to be free of the virus. The infection came from elsewhere.

Hundreds of thousands of babies are circumcised every year (in the U.S., Israel, Europe and elsewhere) with no negative effects as a result of the procedure.

Reminds me of the snake joke with the punchline, "The doctor said you're gonna die."

In this day of modern Western medicine they're still doing this backward ritual?

This is barbarism veiled as religious custom that exposes innocents, who cannot protect themselves, to the lunacy of moronic zealots who think because they say it is their religion that no one has a right to object.

As I have said in the past these freaks are just a few steps ahead of the islamocrazies. These are of the same ilk as the idiots who stone cars in Israel on the Sabbath and cause riots if their neighbors are not religious enough. If their idiot rabbi said clitorectomy was required in the name of their religion, they would want you to keep out of that business too.

Morons. Scary morons. Thank the lord that they are not in a position to push their idiotic beliefs on those not “chosen”.

IMO, the State has no right to regulate/ban a religious ceremony.

Why do you want to change something that God intended to be there in the first place?
Since when Man knows better than God?

Prompted by a child's death, the state health department is developing its first set of safety guidelines ...........

IMO, the State has no right to regulate/ban a religious ceremony.

A "guideline" is not a regulation or a ban.

A "guideline" is an opinion that you heed or ignore at your own risk or at the risk of your child.

Would that include female circumcision and human sacrifice? What about that aboriginal fellow some years back who killed someone as part of his religion? The state does have the right when it affects another (in this case the kid). Now I don't happen to believe that Male circumcision damages a boy to the point it should be regulated but ignoring the states role only makes containing it more difficult..
