French Jewish leader: ‘Banning circumcision would eliminate presence of Jewish life in Europe’
Europeans shouldn’t be under any illusions about the true product of legislation banning the practice of religious circumcision in its members states, said Richard Prasquier, President of CRIF, the umbrella representative group of Jewish institutions in France, at a seminar Thursday at the European Parliament in Brussels.
Describing recent legal attacks on religious practices such as ritual slaughter and circumcision as “surprising”, he told the inter-communal dialogue on religious freedom: “Certain traditions denote unity and if Europe continues promoting laws against Jews they will simply leave Europe”.
