2. Thank you, Germany. Circumcision is an everlasting command
Rivkah   (12.13.12)
ment. It is not an option for God's people. It is a requirement if one wants God's favor and the blessings of Abraham that come from obedience to the everlasting commandments. Not all of HaShem's laws are everlasting, but a few are. Circumcision is one that is required. The Apostle Paul (Shaul of Tarsus) himself circumcised Timothy before allowing him to accompany him and preach the Gospel. "The Scriptures" translation of the Bible from South Africa is a direct translation into English from the Hebrew and Aramaic texts by Messianic Jewish Rabbis and scholars. That version tells you which commandments are everlasting and which are not.

#3 If you don't want to have circumcision in your family, that is your right. But for all of those who do practice this religious rite, keep your big nose out of our business. We don't care about your opinion nor do we want to hear it.

Some religions/sects as a rite practice woman mutilation, other polygamy or corporal punishment, etc. should this be allowed too? By the way if you decided to atay some one's home and that someone let you in don't rearrange his furniture and impose your customs after a while if you planning to stay there ,...

Why are baby girls dragged off by their mothers to have their ears pierced ? Especially by those of Spanish, French, Italian, and Greek backgrounds. Where is the outcry for those poor babies ? There is none because it is only the bias by those people's against Jews and Muslims that count. At least we Jews and Muslims have some commonality to be able to depend on one another.

Piercing ears is painless today and grows over if you don't like it and don't use it, your foreskin won't ,...
9. Pity, but not entirely unexpected.

It will probably be a couple of decades still until the generations that can be affected by holocaust guilt is gone from power. The younger people don't feel it since happened too long ago. Barbaric traditions that clearly breaks the human right of not being brutally mutilated is not going to be tolerated forever.

12. #9 Nothing to do with Holocaust
Ron ,   US   (12.15.12)
In most US hospitals circumcision is the norm and the benefits of circumcision have been medically documented. Our traditions make sense. You're the intolerant one.

14. 10 I am Messianic which is a Jewish faith that believes in
Rivkah   (12.15.12)
Yeshua of Nazareth as the Messiah. In the ELS Scripture code matrix on my name, birthdate and other information, Yahweh called me Solomon (Shlomo), which indicates the Tribe of Judah of the Royal line of King David. That is Jewish. My husband's name means upright and righteous in Hebrew: KMET in English for the Hebrew letters. That is pretty Jewish.
15. Jews and Moslems should celebrate
Omar ,   Stockholm,Sweden   (12.15.12)
...and the others - go get lost! Take care of your own spoiled kids and we take car of ours - and that goes especially for the Antisemite, Jewhater and Islamophobe Intendi Nensak #9.
16. #13 Circumcision Envy
Ron ,   US   (12.15.12)
They look better too. But that won't help you. Being uncircumcised is the least of your problems. LOL!
17. they look better???

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. It is all what you are familiar with and used to. Having tried both types, I know what I like. I do not envy anyone who is circumcised. No thanks.
