Jews and Muslims in Denmark are in an uproar about a bill to ban circumcision for boys under the age of 15, according to Yediot Ahronot. The country's National Council for Children and Ethics Council have both endorsed the proposal and only the parliament's medical committee can prevent it from being heard.
The National Council for Children argued that, "Circumcision is the irreversible damage to a child's body before he is given the chance to object." It also said the ban was a matter of equality, in the wake of a five-year-old ban on female circumscion.
Denmark's Chief Rabbi Bent Lexner – who is also a certified mohel (circumciser) in the community – told Yediot Ahronot, "The comparison between circumcision and the intentional mutilation of the female sex organ in certain societies is simply complete nonsense." He added, "If the law forbidding circumcision is ever passed in Denmark, Jews will have to leave the place they have been living in for hundreds of years."

From my reading it appears to be a legal issue. They are banning female mutilation of minors so it would seem that banning of male mutilation should also be enforced.
I have $20 that says Adolf isn’t on the list.....
;-)
Surely they know you can not be a Jewish male without this.
Sounds good to me, and if they can’t do it in their own country they can go where they can get it done.
Probably, if it becomes a health issue.
Must not have been very lucky to be born a Philistine.
What would a person be if they were a practising Jew, but had a foreskin?
Circumcision is the most disgusting practice that could be performed on a child.
What does circumcision have to do with homosexuality??
I wonder what the impact is on spreading yeast infections?? It’s a real pain to do the Monistat thing over and over!
The practical meaning of this was that David had to kill 100 Philistines, because none of them would have given up his foreskin if he were alive.

No, the one reasoning behind this was that only the heathens, gentiles, would have foreskins...
The Jews were all circumcised...
It was like taking a scalp...a token..
Saul wanted to see the foreskins as proof that his enemies, the Philistines were dead...
Though he hoped that the Philistines would kill David...
And Saul said, Thus shall ye say to David, The king desireth not any dowry, but an hundred foreskins of the Philistines, to be avenged of the king’s enemies. But Saul thought to make David fall by the hand of the Philistines. 1 Samuel 3:25
Wherefore David arose and went, he and his men, and slew of the Philistines two hundred men; and David brought their foreskins, and they gave them in full tale to the king, that he might be the king’s son in law. And Saul gave him Michal his daughter to wife. 1 Samuel 18:27
Diabetics and uncircumcised men are at a greater risk of getting male yeast infection. It is not a compulsion that men who have had sexual contact with women having yeast infections will get infected. Since the foreskin holds more moisture, men who have not undergone circumcision have a greater risk of getting a yeast infection.
Yeast infections can easily be passed back and forth between sexual partners.
You wouldn’t think this if you saw how many older men have serious situations due to lack of cleanliness because they are unable to perform their own care. It is far worse than the little snip at birth.
Once upon a time it was suggested that you place a tattoo on your child in an inconspicuous place so that, God forbid, your child was abducted they could easily be identified. Tattooing also was used during WWII with one’s blood type.
Circumcision is a covenent between God and His people, the Jews...
God commanded Abraham to circumise himself and to teach his descendents to do so...
Gen 17:1 And when Abram was ninety years old and nine, the LORD appeared to Abram, and said unto him, I am the Almighty God; walk before me, and be thou perfect.
Gen 17:2 And I will make my covenant between me and thee, and will multiply thee exceedingly.
Gen 17:3 And Abram fell on his face: and God talked with him, saying,
Gen 17:4 As for me, behold, my covenant is with thee, and thou shalt be a father of many nations.
Gen 17:5 Neither shall thy name any more be called Abram, but thy name shall be Abraham; for a father of many nations have I made thee.
Gen 17:6 And I will make thee exceeding fruitful, and I will make nations of thee, and kings shall come out of thee.
Gen 17:7 And I will establish my covenant between me and thee and thy seed after thee in their generations for an everlasting covenant, to be a God unto thee, and to thy seed after thee.
Gen 17:8 And I will give unto thee, and to thy seed after thee, the land wherein thou art a stranger, all the land of Canaan, for an everlasting possession; and I will be their God.
Gen 17:9 And God said unto Abraham, Thou shalt keep my covenant therefore, thou, and thy seed after thee in their generations.
Gen 17:10 This is my covenant, which ye shall keep, between me and you and thy seed after thee; Every man child among you shall be circumcised.
Gen 17:11 And ye shall circumcise the flesh of your foreskin; and it shall be a token of the covenant betwixt me and you.
Gen 17:12 And he that is eight days old shall be circumcised among you, every man child in your generations, he that is born in the house, or bought with money of any stranger, which is not of thy seed.
Gen 17:13 He that is born in thy house, and he that is bought with thy money, must needs be circumcised: and my covenant shall be in your flesh for an everlasting covenant.
Gen 17:14 And the uncircumcised man child whose flesh of his foreskin is not circumcised, that soul shall be cut off from his people; he hath broken my covenant. Genesis 17:1-14
It also represents the circumcision of the heart...
Circumcise yourselves to the LORD, and take away the foreskins of your heart, ye men of Judah and inhabitants of Jerusalem: lest my fury come forth like fire, and burn that none can quench it, because of the evil of your doings. Jeremiah 4:4
John the Baptist was circumcised...
And it came to pass, that on the eighth day they came to circumcise the child; and they called him Zacharias, after the name of his father. And his mother answered and said, Not so; but he shall be called John. Luke 1:59, 60
Jesus was circumcised...
And when eight days were accomplished for the circumcising of the child, His name was called JESUS, which was so named of the angel before He was conceived in the womb. Luke 2:21
And also Paul...
Circumcised the eighth day, of the stock of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, an Hebrew of the Hebrews; as touching the law, a Pharisee; Philippians 3:5
“You wouldn’t think this if you saw how many older men have serious situations due to lack of cleanliness because they are unable to perform their own care. It is far worse than the little snip at birth.”
None in my family! We know how to take showers! “Cleanliness” is an unfounded excuse to pervertedly mutilate genitals.
Not Jewish, but I think that an equivalent question would be what would a person be if they were a practising jew but regularly ate pork!
It looks like Denmark has found a 'final solution to the Jewish problem'.
