        This law is unjust? Oh, but mutilating an infant is just. Well, I'm just... just incensed!

        I object to the reclassification of circumcision as child abuse for whatever reason.

        What are examples of things you consider child abuse, and why do they count as such?

        Big question, Brian, but context, intent and harm are factors I think should be taken into account.

        Really? A textbook example of newspeak. And an eloquent defence of the legislator acting as a theologian who knows better what a religion entails than its practitioners.

        That this Icelandic minister did not consult those who are affected by outlawing cc, nay, did not even know that it was 'still' permitted, says it all. Insensitivity paired with indifference. But at the same time she seems to know exactly what is 'religious' and what isn't...

        Forcing a religious mark on the body of a non-consenting child is an egregious violation of that child's religious freedom.

        While locking up loving parents is an emblem of civilization, I presume?

        Yes, locking up criminals who violate the law and the body and the religious freedom of innocent children is the epitome of civilization.

        Newspeak: redefining loving parents who want the best for their children as 'criminals'. You're strong on rhetoric but a bit lacking in argumentation.

        What's love got to do with it? Criminals are those who violate the law. If Iceland bans male genital mutilation and a parent violates that law, that parent is a criminal. My argument is strong: cutting a child in the name of *your* religion violates the child's religious freedom.

        Well, if a new law creates a situation in which loving, well-meaning parents who give their child the best they can think of all of a sudden become criminals facing 6 yrs of prison, this law may not be just.

        The Child’s rights come Before the parents rights. Protecting children against Genital Mutilation is an honorable pursuit.

        Slicing the skin of a non consenting person is considered a crime, unless it's a non consenting infant boy.
