Circumcision?

You think the SF circumcision debate is relevant to this conversation?

We are talking about murders in the name of ideology.

While I’m sure your stance on the circumcision matter is quite appropriate, I’m afraid it isn’t germane in discussing murder in the name of ideology.

First of all, why ignore the rest of that post?

Second of all, I clearly laid out a scenario where the circumcision ban could result in violence. I have no idea why you ignored that.

There aren’t many progressive ideologies floating around with any large number of adherents that espouse an ideology that ends in murder— not in the West, anyway. Nothing that’s comparable to the anti-Muslim “Europe is doomed” one. So your question also seems to miss that rather significant point by a large margin.
