THE DAILY TELEGRAPH: Germany's government has sought to quell Jewish and Muslim fury over a court ruling likening circumcision to grievous bodily harm with the introduction of a new law regulating the practice.
The bill set before the federal parliament allows circumcision on religious grounds but only when it does not threaten the health of the child and should be as "pain free as possible". Older children, the bill states, have the right to abstain from circumcision. » | Matthew Day | Friday, October 05, 2012
