Haaretz: German verdict&amp;#8217;s purpose is to delay circumcision, not ban it, jurist says
Holm Putzke, a law professor at Passau University, says &amp;#8216;Nobody wants to ban religious circumcision in Islam and Judaism, but it should be decided by those who undergo it.&amp;#8217; The operation does serious bodily harm and only males old enough to consent to it freely should undergo it, says Holm Putzke, law professor at Passau University in southern Germany.
