As a Reformed Baptist and an
American, I don't have a personal stake in this particular battle over
religious liberty. However, since progressives in this country look up
to Iceland, the small island country's push to ban male circumcision may
have negative ramifications for overall religious freedom in this
country, not to mention around the globe.
According to Religion News Service,
"The legislation being debated by Iceland’s Parliament would impose a
six-year jail term on anyone who 'removes part or all of (a child’s)
sexual organs' for nonmedical reasons."
In other words, Iceland wants to throw people in prison for practicing their religion.
As
noted, I don't particularly have a dog in this specific fight, but it
is fascinating (and scary) to watch progressives openly demonstrate
their anti-Semitism and Islamophobia. The problem with that, besides
being evil, is that it continues to signal that progressives would love
nothing more than to squash all religion under their "tolerant" thumb.
And make no mistake, American progressives adore Icelandic progressives.
Pretty soon, our home-grown progressives will figure out how to throw
religious people in this country into prison.
