Dominic Lawson, in his Sunday Times column today fretting that moves in California to get circumcision of boys banned might spread to the UK, manages to imply that campaigners against male circumcision are guilty both of anti-Semitism and of increasing the incidence of invasive penile cancer, which, he says, has been shown to be greater in the un-circumcised.
Interesting that he does not seem to think they are also anti-Islam, given that it's not only 100% of all Jewish boys who are circumcised but 100% of all Muslim boys too.
Interesting also that he does not mention that (1) invasive penile cancer is vanishingly rare anyway, so the increased risk even if it exists is still vanishingly small, and (2) the statistics said to prove the link between lack of circumcision and invasive penile cancer are complete bollocks anyway, as this shows: http://www.circumstitions.com/Cancer.html
