Finland - court imposed a fine on a man convicted of assault and battery on Friday for performing circumcisions on two Muslim boys. The parents of the boys were convicted of incitement to assault and battery, but no punishment was meted out.

Finally, a step in the right direction. Hopefully Finland will eventually ban circumcision altogether, except of course when there is medical necessity.

EDIT: But it should be only banned for minors. If an adult wants to cut of part of his own genitals and chooses to do so, then he should be allowed to.

A day or 2 ago an episode of a kid's show that has kids from different cultures playing together or something was cancelled or something by the channel because of this (roughly translated dialogue) between a Jewish boy and his mom

Boy: I have a bad feeling about this

Mom: It's nothing bad, you aren't the first circumcised

Boy: But when i think about that my skin is going to be cut

Mom: Only a little piece. And you won't even notice. You'll be asleep and won't feel anything.

later the boy tells his friends about the surgery

Kids: Hey don't be modest. Applause to our hero!

In Finland circumcision is nonexistent as most people don't have religious reasons for it.

And according to the poll "Does circumcision belong to a kid's show" in the web magazine i saw it on has 87% no and 13% yes.

dont totally agree with it , however it could serve to actually stop people wanting to go through with the surgery for those parents .

Finland, Sweden, The Netherlands, Norway, Denmark etc; pretty much all the challenges to MGM with any actual bite have been concentrated in this area.

If the Earth were being destroyed and only a few million people from a particular area could be evacuated to a new homeworld, I'd pick those guys to carry forward the torch of humanity while I burn to death with all the other cunts.
