Default Norway trying to ban the Bris
http://daphneanson.blogspot.com/2011...rit-milah.html

Norway, already ignominious for the amount of antisemitism rife, invites suspicions of a gratuitous offensive against one of the ancient rites of Judaism with the proposed legal amendment at the urging of the State Ombudsman for Children that the ritual circumcision of children below the age of fifteen be banned.

Since Muslim boys are circumcised around that age, if the amendment goes ahead with the proposed lower age limit they will not be so disadvantaged, but of course Jewish boys are normally received into the Covenant of Abraham on the eighth day of life, when a mohel removes the foreskin.

Let's not accuse the entire country of Norway as trying to ban the Bris. It is the state ombudsman for children in Norway, Reidar Hjermann who is the culprit.

That said, should he be successful, all Jews in Norway should make aliyah.
