German authorities are looking into a lawsuit filed against Rabbi David Goldenberg of Hoff, Bavaria, for performing circumcision, the Jewish newspaper Jüdische Allgemeine reported.

Thought that's what Rabbis and/or mohels did. As Colin Powell said: "Being responsible sometimes means pissing people off [or getting sued]." The single finger salute is a useful adjunct when pissing people off--like icing on a cake. When pissing people off, the only substitute for good manners is fast reflexes.

I suspect the suing physician thought the Rabbi was cutting into his business.
Except that German doctors and hospitals aren't doing circumcisions any more for fear of being arrested, following the court case about the Moslem circumcision-gone-wrong in Cologne a few months ago. Germans have long had a distaste for it -- when I was pregnant in Germany in 1991, the hospital obstetrician told me he would only do the procedure if I held the baby myself, as his nurses thought it barbaric and refused to be involved.

IIRC, Muslims also practice circumcision. <sarcasm> Of course, it's all right to annoy the Juices by banning one of their sacred ancient rights. </sarcasm>But what idiot passed a law that would annoy Muslims?

German Parliament has already announced to pass a law allowing circumcision (with certain guidelines that will be acceptable for Jews), so this should settle the legal disputes.

A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
