Female circumcision is something else entirely. Do Germany and Switzerland ban it?

They may well do so but I’d be interested–does anyone know?

Meanwhile, we might reflect on this and on the current administration’s viewpoint that a cabinet secretary can determine what a religion’s “real” beliefs and functions are. And if PETA-types decide that kosher slaughtering is also wrong?

Of course, the Iranian rulers lie about everything else, why should they not lie about this matter? Some will believe them, just as some believed Stalin’s often absurd accusations against his enemies in the show trials. Those who want to believe the worst about Israel and the Jews will gobble it up.
