Changes

The Cologne circumcision court judgment was the catalyst of the so far most violent and longest [[Circumcision Debate]] in Germany. Especially religion representatives of the cutting religions put the policy under pressure to prevent as soon as possible in legal ways, that this judgment would endure universal. After today's state of knowledge, the public debate was sparked especially by statements from the European Rabbis Conference in July 2012. While the judgment had been related to a boy with Muslim parents, the Muslims in Germany did neither at the beginning nor in the course of the debate argue with such [[Anti-Semitism club|harsh accusations]] like the Jewish religious leaders did. The Cologne circumcision court judgment has since been repeatedly cited internationally as a change of direction, whenever [[circumcision]] proponents, [[intactivists]] and lawyers discuss about [[circumcision]].
