What i mean is why do parents do it to theyre kids, whats the point of it
Religious reasons, or for hygiene, or because at that age they don't have the abilty to shout " Stop cutting the end off my k**b !!!"
"For Jews male circumcision is the fulfilment of a Divine command (Gen.17.11 et seq). It is designated 13 times as a Brith (covenant), between the almighty and the jewish people. Unless there is a medical contraindication it should take place on the baby's eighth day even on the Sabbath or a holy day"

The practice should be outlawed (except on medical grounds) it is of no benefit to the child or the adult!!!!

as for jews doing it for religious reasons!! sick!!!!!!!
I never said it was right- I just posted a link to a site which gives an explanation :-(
What do you call an uncircumcised Jewish baby?
Muslims do it too. It was long thought to be somehow hygienic (though the same level of hygiene can be achieved by washing), and this may be the source of the religious requirement. It was fairly common until quite recently but seems to have fallen out of favour.
BOO!! did you think I was having a poke at you?

Never!!

It was just a comment on the subject, I never even looked at your link. Sorry!!
Do you give up?
incidentally, Jesus would have been circumcised, and it is supposed the foreskin, having been long separated, would therefore not have ascended to heaven with him. It was believed to be in France but was stolen a while ago.

I would now like to get hold of these Jewish butchers and rip their genitals off with my bare hands!!!!

Mutilating a baby in the name of God!!! I'm so glad and proud to be atheist!!!

There you go Ratter, nip down to your local Synagogue and ask to see a Mohel, pronounced Moyle, he's the one that does the deed, If you do, let me know, i'd like to see it.
Don't muslims do it as well. My only knowledge of this is from the movie East is East.
Why are there no jewish morris dancers

























You have to be a complete pr1ck to be a morris dancer.
There used to be an ad for some new American car which showed it driving so smoothly across NYC despite all the potholes that a mohel was able to circumcise a baby in the back seat. No idea if this was real live.
Lonnie, I don't think we have a local synagogue, we don't have much need for them in my neck of the woods!!!

but if you hear of a savagely de-genitalised Mohel in Devon then I found the synagogue!!!!
