I am fully convinced that any logic that would have gentiles required to obey food laws would, of logical necessity, when applied to circumcision, also obligate gentiles to be circumcised.

It is the same logic these folks use when dealing with the sabbath.

This is why the Church does not practice Passover anymore, since it would require gentiles to be circumcised. We know that baptism, not circumcision, is the new covenant sign of inclusion for the people of God.
