    They do. The push to have circumcision banned in many EU countries is the result of a concerted effort by anti-immigrant groups, hoping to deter Muslims from settling in their countries. A lot of money is being invested in the effort, and the propaganda is thick with misinformation about the benefits and risks.

      Everything I don’t like is racism.

        So, you “like” all the anti-immigrant movements that are ongoing in the EU? Because that is racism.

            Lol! Were you just not paying attention to the comment you responded to, or are you just really confused about “whataboutism” means?

        I’m not the one using false equivalences and pseudo-science to create a narrative.
