1. Why ban circumcision of boys??
Beary White ,   Norway   (01.26.14)
When followers of the islamic-cult-religion still goes back to their home country to cut off the genitals of 1-2-3year old girls in the islamic cult, without any anesthetic .!! And jews in TA are protesting against animal molesting...
2. There will not be even enforcement
Eric R. ,   usa   (01.26.14)
If there is a circumcision ban, you know that European authorities will only enforce it on Jews, because they are afraid of street violence and terrorism if they enforce it among Muslims.
3. Rabbi Schneier
Sherlock Holmes ,   London England   (01.26.14)
Just asking, isn't Rabbi Schneier from New York? Shouldn't the delegation be led by Dayan Ehrentreu or Chief Rabbi Mirvis or Lord Sacks? With about a million Jews in the EU there should be one or two possible EU Rabbis to lead the delegation.
4. Anti-Muslim immigration
Joseph ,   London UK   (01.26.14)
Current medical advice supports infand male circumcision, according to research in Johns Hopkins [America's number one medical centre] and the American College of Pediatrics. The only reason the EU wants to outlaw this practice is probably to stop Muslim immigration to 'Christian' Europe.
5. Defending Circumcision
Syd Chaden ,   Palermo Calif USA   (01.26.14)
Interesting that this puts both Muslims and Jews on the same side of an issue. Clearly, having Jews as a target doesn't bother Europeans, it undoubtedly encourages them. However, they should think twice about criticizing a rite that is traditional in Islam. The Islamic doctrine of "death to infidels" is always a potential threat, and it would be prudent of Europeans to unfurl their white flags on this issue.
6. To #5
Eric R. ,   USA   (01.27.14)
Please see my post #2. It will explain how Europe will deal with this dilemma.
