Jews and Moslems, among others, practice ritual circumcision of
male children.  Mike Eve's bombastic reference to "... ignorant
sheepherders who never washed..." is gratuitous anti-Semitism
and extremely offensive.  Of course, it is also totally irrelevant
to the circumcision issue.  My impression is that Mr. Eve finds
circumcision personally, subjectively repellant for esthetic
(or neurotic?) reasons, and that this strong feeling requires
a scapegoat.  Shame on you, Mr. Eve.
