Iceland mulls banning boys’ circumcision, introducing 6-year jail term for offenders
MPs in Iceland have proposed legislative amendments to outlaw circumcision for boys, a common practice in the Jewish and Muslim communities. If passed, anyone performing the procedure may be jailed for six years.
Members of at least five political parties, including the Progressive Party, the Pirate party and the Left Green, are calling for amendments to the existing Criminal Code. Their proposed legislation says that anyone found guilty of damaging the health of a child or a woman by “removing sexual organs, in whole or in part, shall be jailed for six years.”
The draft clearly rejects the notion that the law should accommodate circumcision on religious grounds. “While it is certainly the right of the parents to give their children guidance when it comes to religion, such a right can never exceed the rights of the child,” the bill states.

Iceland is becoming very progressive. It even jailed its crooked bankers following the crash.
This proposed law makes other countries look like mediaeval primitives.
Nobody should suffer genital mutilation without their consent and after they reach the age of consent. Anybody mutilating young boys' johnsons deserves to be jailed.
Religious bigots, Muslim, Jewish or whatever are throwbacks to the Dark Ages.
