Leading US House members urge Iceland to back down on circumcision ban - 'Stop this intolerant bill,' say top Republican and Democrat lawmakers in letter to Reykjavik's US envoy slamming proposed law

“While Jewish and Muslim populations in Iceland may be small, your country’s ban could be exploited by those who stoke xenophobia and anti-Semitism in countries with more diverse populations,” said a letter sent April 5 to the embassy of Iceland in Washington, DC by Congressmen Ed Royce, the Republican chairman of the committee, and Eliot Engel, its top Democrat.

So this is not about protecting boys at all, it's about "xenophobia and anti-Semitism".

Got it.

They're quite correct to describe the bill as "intolerant", it is 100% intolerant of extreme child sex abuse

Let's hope they lose their seats in November.

Let’s ask them to send the same letter to countries that outlaw fgm, and see how the election goes for them.
