Indiscriminate circumcision: foreigners’ flee Mbale town
Business in Mbale town was paralysed this week when unruly youth stormed the streets and began indiscriminately circumcising anyone they came across.
Many businessmen of different ethnicities, that do not practise circumcision, locked their shops and fled. Those captured yelled in pain as they were circumcised in front of onlookers in the suburbs of Indian quarters, Mbale garage, Cathedral avenue, Pallisa road, Namakwekwe, Nkoma, Bugema and Nauyo where different ethnic groups reside or do businesses.
For four days, many businesses run by Basoga, Banyole, Baganda, Bagwere, Karimojong, Jopadhola and Banyankore remained closed. On Wednesday, Police engaged in a hide-and-seek game with errant youth and used tear gas to disperse crowds which were gathering around passers-by and those who were carrying out business activities. According to the Mbale district police commander, Michael Ongica, three traditional surgeons involved in this operation have been arrested and face charges of forcefully inflicting harm on their victims.
“Some members of the business community have come to us seeking security because these hooligans are attacking anyone they presume uncircumcised. We have also received a communication from the Bamasaba cultural council that the operation is illegal; therefore, we shall arrest and prosecute anyone found loitering in town looking to destabilize peace in the name of circumcision,” Ongica said.
As a result of this indiscriminate exercise, at least 46 men between the ages of 30 to 70 have rushed to Mbale referral hospital to be circumcised to avoid the embarrassment their colleagues were subjected to. The incident has elicited uproar amongst those who were targeted. However, the Bamasaba cultural leaders’ council has distanced itself from this crude act, saying it was barbaric and uncultured. The council has also called for the arrest and prosecution of those involved.
“Circumcision will officially be launched on the 3rd August at Mutoto cultural grounds. Whoever did it now, contravened the Bamasaba circumcision calendar,” said John Musila, the Bamasaba spokesperson yesterday.
He added: “We as Bamasaba condemn indiscriminate cutting of non-Bagisu. In our culture, non-Bamasaba cannot be forced into circumcision unless they accept on their own. Those forcing non-Bamasaba into circumcision should not be associated with our culture and those doing it, should be cautioned,” said Musila.
In the name of multiculturalism, we should import a couple of million of them from there, and let them loose in Brussels by the EU Headquarters.
Should be exiting.
I am not sure if they are Muslims though. Primitive savages certainly, but not necessarily soldiers of Allah, the article does not say so, unless I missed it.

Perhaps you are right. .....only 13% of the country's population is Muslim, but Muslims and Jews are to my knowlegdge the only one who are circumcising boys and men, and I do not think those primitive savages are Jews.

The Bamasaaba are a Bantu people group of about 1,000,000 who live in eastern Uganda, Mbale and Sironko Districts, adjacent to Mt. Elgon at the Kenyan border. They were the first people to inhabit the western and southwestern slopes of Mt. Elgon.

Allah is supposed to be the "perfect creator", but apparently muslims agree with Jews that allah screwed up on the creation but having baby boys born with foreskins.
So they have to fix God's mistakes by cutting off the foreskin of a defenceless baby boy.
Circumcision of a baby boy should be a criminal offence.
The prophet of Islam was nothing more than a common criminal.
Please tell me if this is accurate:

COLOGNE (Germany): German Muslim leaders urged lawmakers Wednesday to pass legislation protecting the right to circumcise boys after a court ruling against the practice when carried out on religious grounds.
Around 20 organisations representing most of Germany's around four million Muslims said parliament must ensure religious freedom by eliminating the legal uncertainty surrounding the rite since the June 26 ruling by a court here.
"We call on the German Bundestag (lower house) and the government to act as quickly as possible to put an end to this legal insecurity and establish legal safeguards allowing the circumcision of boys," said Gurcan Mert of the Turkish Islamic Union, speaking on behalf of the other groups.
In a decision that also sparked outrage among Jewish groups and which could set a legal precedent, the regional court in this western city ruled against a doctor in Cologne who had circumcised a four-year-old Muslim boy on his parents' wishes.
The judges found that the "fundamental right of the child to bodily integrity outweighed the fundamental rights of the parents".
"The religious freedom of the parents and their right to educate their child would not be unacceptably compromised if they were obliged to wait until the child could himself decide to be circumcised," the court added.
But it specified that circumcision was not illegal if carried out for medical reasons.
The ruling marked a "big blow against integration", Ali Kizilkaya, spokesman for the Coordinating Council of Muslims in Germany, another of the groups issuing the appeal, told the same news conference.
"Germany is a state based on the rule of law where rights, in particular religious liberties, are very important and I think that a ban (on circumcision) would not be good for Germany or Germany's image and concept of rights," he said.
"I hope this will be corrected quickly."
The Muslim groups are in contact with Jewish and Christian leaders on the issue and discussing how to bring pressure to bear on the political class, Ramazan Kuruguz from the conference of regional Islamic organisations said.
"We will speak with politicians and if necessary, we will of course hold protests and demonstrations," he said.
Thousands of young boys are circumcised every year in Germany, especially in the country's large Jewish and Muslim communities.
After the ruling touched off a storm of international protest, Foreign Minister Guido Westerwelle insisted the country would continue to protect religious freedom and rites including circumcision.
However several doctors and hospitals have said they would suspend the practice as long as its legal standing is unclear.

Not as if they had any inclination to integrate in the first place.

I don't want to defend the muslim scum, but I hope you are all aware that the people in the article are Christians. Circumcision is a common practice among many African tribes. It is not limited to muslims. So this article does not belong here. It is about tribal conflicts. It's not done for any religious reasons. It's still wrong, but it is a totally different topic.
And before this is used for racist propaganda against Africans, the "tribe of the US Americans" also practices forced male circumcision. And just like Uganda, the US is also a predominantly Christian country. Some may argue that Americans don't catch people in the streets to circumcise them by force, but insteat they target little babies and circumcise them by force, which is not much different. And in America just like in Africa the victims of this procedure are later brainwashed so that they think it was for their own good. Start this discussion with a circumcised US American man and you will see the effect of the brainwashing.
