Oh? Circumcision is associated with Muslims in Europe? I haven't experienced that, but I also didn't grow up there nor had a child there..

Well, yeah. Here it's only done for religious or medical reasons. As I understand it, Americans do it because some guy selling breakfast cereal told them to.

Never heard of it associated with anyone but the Jewish people, not sure if it's different in other European countries. Also it's not liked/disliked, for most it's a neutral medical procedure, never heard any rant about circumcision from any party on the right.

i always wondered wtf. thought it was a late 80s to 90s trend. was truly robbed of a good girldick and a mesh of tactile nerves i shall never know

i think most circumcisions in europe are either for religious reasons (and so mostly in muslim families) or for emergency medical reasons
