CNN – Jews and Muslims are joining forces in outrage over a German court’s decision that could prohibit parents from having their children circumcised for religious reasons. The court deemed the oft-religious procedure an act of “bodily harm” to children, according to German media reports.
The Tuesday ruling says doctors who perform the procedure for religious reasons could be charged with committing bodily injury, sparking a debate that pits parents’ religious freedom against a child’s right to self-determination. The court essentially ruled that circumcision is not in a child’s best interests, according to the German newspaper Der Spiegel.
