Iceland has under consideration a bill to outlaw male circumcision and by doing so, put equal the rights of male and female children and uphold the UN's "The Convention on the Rights of the Child." There have been posted 134 comments on the bill. I read them all.

Surprising: Men and women - and one religious group of Jewish heritage wrote PRO the bill. Most Jews against the bill were individuals from Canada. Only local Islam GROUPS claimed circumcision to be necessary. Foreign Muslims all pro and pointed to the Quran for support!

Rather strange, an overwhelming amount of Muslims do undergo circumcision, though a few do point to the qur’an to argue against it, claiming it to be an act of self harm
