Christians, Jews, Muslims concerned by Iceland circumcision proposal
CCEE-CEC Joint Statement
It is with great concern that Christian, Jewish and Muslim organisations in Europe take note of a proposal tabled in the Icelandic parliament Althing to ban non-medically indicated circumcision of male children. If the proposal were made into law, parents could face up to six years in prison if they have religious circumcision performed on a boy child.
This move would not only amount to an infringement of the fundamental human right of Freedom of Religion or Belief, but would also be perceived as a signal that people with a Jewish or Muslim background are no longer welcome to Iceland.
Circumcision has for thousands of years been practised by religious communities across the faith spectrum; it is a fundamental feature of religious practise in Judaism, Islam and some Christian traditions, such as the Ethiopian and Eritrean Orthodox churches. Circumcision is not an optional ceremony, but at the very core of religious practice. It is with this particular religious rite that male children are welcomed to their religion, providing them a sign of God’s covenant with humanity. For these communities, it is an integral expression of faith.
“It is important that circumcision is practised legally, in a medically appropriate and safe setting, so that the child’s health is not jeopardized”, says CEC President Bishop Christopher Hill and adds that “We should not forget that it is a right recognised in the UN convention of the rights of the child to belong to and to be educated in the religious tradition of his or her family.”
