So what's happened to the "Report this post to a mod" function?

It's funny that I'm being called anti-semitic for posting a thread about a Jewish practice. Insanity.
You've got it partially right: In western culture, it's only mildly unacceptable to bash Muslims and Christians, especially Muslims. But attacking Jews is a serious taboo, because of the Holocaust.

It also seems to me that Islamophobes get preferential treatment here, but that's probably just a flawed subjective perception. Besides, I've never seen anybody suspended for "anti-Christian," comments, but I've seen a loooot of people suspended for anti-Islamism.

I still see it. When I tried to report it, I got a message that said, "This post has already been reported."

Maybe there's your answer...?

Ask them in Crossfire Q&A. Maybe there's a forum error.

Isn't Jim Webb in Virginia being tarred and feathered for writing about an adult sucking the penis of a naked boy.

No he's being tarred and feathered for writing about a parent sexually abusing his child.

Now would you like too discuss the Quran and what it says about such things?

I didn't think so.

The quran has something to say about sucking the penis of boy after you circumsize him?

Yeah the Quran does in fact say somethings about pedophilia. It says we can expect it in heaven!


Quran 52:24
Round about them will serve, to them, boys
(handsome) as pearls well-guarded.

The Arabic word for this is "yakhdim", meaning "serve", which is something servants do. These boys are servants of the dwellers of paradise, but not in a sexually perverted way.

Quote: Quran 56:17
Round about them will serve boys of perpetual
freshness.

Read above.

Quote: Quran 76:19
And round about them will serve boys of perpetual
freshness: if thou seest them, thou wouldst think
them scattered pearls.

Read above.

~This is a photo taken of part of an Islamic circumcision rite.

From a Shi'ite rite? How do you know it's from a circumcision rite? Also, you do realize that he might be kissing his cheek?

Quote: Then there is the little tale about Muhammad and Aisha.

Muhammad (pbuh) wasn't a pedophile. Aisha was 12 years old when the marriage was consummated, and in fact boys and girls at that time married at a young age (usually around that age and 16) and started families.

Quote: Need we go on?

I think its pretty clear that there are wacko pedophiles in every religion, including Islam.

Um, no. Pedophilia is condemned by most world religions, especially Islam.

Well the circumstance of contracting herpes is rare, but the practice of the mohel sucking on the penis' of babies is not. This is real life folks, not just words written in a novel.

Nope, that's still a rare practice. Even Orthodox mohels use a device so there is no mouth/penis contact. I've been to enough brises. I think I would have notices if the mohel was touching the baby in an inappropriate way. What is a requirement is that a little blood is drawn. Since the non-religious medical practice of circumcision is achieved through constriction, when a bris is preformed, the mohel usually just pricks the tip so that part of halacha is satisfied.

Ingestion of blood is strictly forbidden in Judaism.
