61. Circumsion is a Must for Jewish Boys on the 8th Day
Dina   (05.31.13)
Of their life...Just ask ANY Rabbi.
62. Why
Justjams ,   Jerusalem   (05.31.13)
Is this about Islam now. Anything that offends the religion of judaism or christianity offends muslim. Muslims believe that the quran is the third book from God. If the cartoons were about Jesus or moses muslims would riot, it's a sensitive subject and freedom of speech should have its limits
63. # 49 Is AIDS an old disease?
BUILD BABY BUILD !!! ,   United States   (06.01.13)
Or a 'modern' killer?

wrinkled donkeys.
65. Your more offensive
BUILD BABY BUILD !!! ,   United States   (06.01.13)
We keep the faith of our fathers seriously. Without circumcision, we would be gentiles. Nothing barbaric about a proper circumcision, more barbaric to leave the extra skin which aids bacteria generating hot bed of diseases.
66. # 13 So you have been circumcised?
BUILD BABY BUILD !!! ,   United States   (06.01.13)
Ask any female what she thinks of a non circumcised nasty penis.

Wells said sir. thank you.
68. We shower too and are cleaner
BUILD BABY BUILD !!! ,   United States   (06.01.13)
foreskin is so very unattractive as one other poster put it so well 'it looks like a donkey.'
69. # 43 Dee Bee Muslim boys circumcised up to age 12!
BUILD BABY BUILD !!! ,   United States   (06.01.13)
Ouch! Better at 8 days than 8 or more years.
70. # 55 They drink like fishes.
BUILD BABY BUILD !!! ,   United States   (06.01.13)
Alcoholics and ant semites who could ask for more except to allow these apes to drive, or write news articles?

wrinkled donkeys.
72. to #37
iselin ,   Oslo, Norway   (06.01.13)
Give me a break. The guy with the pitchfork is wearing a baseball cap. Is that the headgear of choice among the Orthodoxy nowadays? Who has a persecution complex here?
73. #25, you make me laugh :-))
Beary White ,   Norway   (06.01.13)
... remembering old TV age: movies and plays from Finland were filled with deaths and murders, killings and rapings..just like what is now unfolding in islamic countries.. Thanks to Finland for starting the islamic educational system without using allah :-))
74. 45 Sagi Few are able,when it comes..
ORA ,   JERUSALEM   (06.01.13)
to important decisions,to look beyond personal dislikes.I always thought you are not a common guy.[despite your religion bashing]. May be one day ,you will come, at least, to the conclusion that Judaism is a "mal necessaire".[In my opinion it is unmissable] Have a fine week,Sagi.
75. #50 Funny? More like frightening!
A ,   Belgium   (06.01.13)
This white trash calls itself "Americans".
76. to 71, 60, 51 et al
iselin ,   Oslo, Norway   (06.02.13)
Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. That which is familiar is easier to look at than that which is not. This is not a forum for praising the intact man, so I will not air my own preferences, but judging from some of your comments, I don't think you are all that familiar with donkeys.
77. Come on, this is freedom of expression
Berk ,   Amsterdam Holland   (06.02.13)
Jews should not react like muslims will do. So, design a cartoon about Norwegians and stop giving attention!
78. Look a bit more closely
Observer ,   Houston, US   (06.03.13)
The fellow on the left is a Jewish man. The women next to him is a woman, not Muslim, the two fellows on the right are delivery persons. Surely you can see that references delivery of blood for the Jewish Passover. As for circumcision, it may or may not be mutilation, but it is no more or less mutilating than the ear piercings of baby girls or the tattoos placed on children in many parts of the world. For those are visible marks that cannot readily be removed.
79. to #78 How can you tell?
iselin ,   Oslo, Norway   (06.03.13)
How can you tell that the man with the pitchfork is Jewish? His beard is just like those of old-fashioned fundamentalist Lutheran preachers and Amish (no mustache and basically whiskers from the jawline down). He looks more like Mullah Krekar than anyone Jewish. No anti-semitic stereotypes - he doesn't have a nose at all, no fat cigar or silk tie, no sidecurls, no kippah, no symbol around his neck, no dollar signs. I suppose if you imagine long enough and wish hard enough, you can read whatever you want into a picture. Why not just remove the chip from your shoulder? By the way, no tissue is removed when ears are pierced, and the holes grow back together if no earrings are worn. Circumcision removes tissue that can never grow back. Until the foreskin regenerates itself if nothing active is done, you can't compare ear piercing with circumcision.
80. Proud to be Norwegian
Viking ,   Norway   (06.05.13)
Seeing this brave cartoonist stand up to the otherwise officially accepted genital mutilation of young baby boys makes me PROUD to be Norwegian. Both Jews and Muslims do this, and both should be equally ashamed. There should be laws against cutting away fresh tissue for ideological reasons, less the child chooses it him/herself at attaining the age of consent.
81. Eat kids not meat
Bikerwolf ,   London U.K.   (06.07.13)
So Viking. #80 you are proud to be Norwegian eh? And how many 'barbaric' abortions are carried out in Norway each year? You know what I mean - sucking a live human being out from its mothers womb and incinerating it afterwards just because she doesn't want it anymore. Compared to the 'barbarism' of circumcision aren't you really saying you detest eating meat but enjoy eating children? Just a thought .
