Bravo Magda!!!! I am delighted to know there are others that have knowledge of this issue as it is not as innocent as some might think. The Torah is a washed down version of the Talmud in some ways as it always depicts the 'chosen' killing, raping and enslaving all non-Hebrews who are unfortunate to get in their path. If Christians would take the time to read all the Mosaic laws in the OT regarding the treatment of non-Hebrews they might get a surprise. Such things as being forbidden to sell rotten meat to other Hebrews but it is encouraged to do so to gentiles. Even in the NT the Jesus character refers to non-Jews as dogs.
As far as the child molestation that is reported, that should not surprise anyone either. It is also justified by the OT and Moses commanded his men to kill men and boys but keep the virgin women and virgin girls for themselves. That is rape in any book, not to mention child sexual abuse. The Talmud is pure filth. This is what generations of incest will do.
There are many sites created by Jews who are now trying to outlaw the practice of both circumcision and the ritual as it now stands with the Rabbi actually sucking the blood from the infants penis!! You can google it and what they report will make you sick. Also, do a search on 'Circumcision causes brain damage'. Apparently, many doctors have been saying this for years but the medical society as a whole makes millions from this practice that is completely unneeded. There is no medical reason for it and just another practice that came from religious superstition. Maimonides was one of the top Jewish Robbins who is still widely read and held in esteem by most Jews. He wrote that circumcision was to keep men docile and easy to control. I have that info stored in my hard drive and will try to find it tomorrow. We think genital mutilation is such a crime when the Muslims do it but hell, we do the same things to our own sons. We force it upon them just as people force their beliefs on their kids. I wish I had known this when my sons were born. After researching and reading how it is done and the agony those babies go through it upset me and angered me beyond words. This whole practice goes back to the fight Apostle Paul had with James the Just about bringing in the gentiles and deciding what laws of the Torah they were to follow. Paul hated circumcision so James laid out the bare essentials and didn't insist but somewhere along the way the non-Jews took up the practice also.
I found that work of Maimonides:

philosopher. CIRP presents Maimonides' teachings on non-therapeutic ritual circumcision.]

Moses Maimonides Part III, Chapter 33
To the totality of purposes of the perfect Law there belong the abandonment, depreciation, and restraint of desires in so far as possible. You know already that most of the lusts and licentiousness of the multitude consist in an appetite for eating, drinking and sexual intercourse.
To the totality of intentions of the Law there belong gentleness and docility; man should not be hard and rough, but responsive, obedient, acquiescent, and docile. You know already His commandment... "Circumcise therefore the foreskin of your heart, and be no more stiffnecked. Be silent, and hearken, O Israel. If ye be willing and obedient."
Part III, Chapter 49

Similarly with regard to circumcision, one of the reasons for it is, in my opinion, the wish to bring about a decrease in sexual intercourse and a weakening of the organ in question, so that this activity be diminished and the organ be in as quiet a state as possible. It has been thought that circumcision perfects what is defective congenitally. This gave the possibility to everyone to raise an objection and to say: How can natural things be defective so that they need to be perfected from outside, all the more because we know how useful the foreskin is for that member? In fact this commandment has not been prescribed with a view to perfecting what is defective congenitally, but to perfecting what is defective morally. The bodily pain caused to that member is the real purpose of circumcision. None of the activities necessary for the preservation of the individual is harmed thereby, nor is procreation rendered impossible, but violent concupiscence and lust that goes beyond what is needed are diminished. The fact that circumcision weakens the faculty of sexual excitement and sometimes perhaps diminishes the pleasure is indubitable. For if at birth this member has been made to bleed and has had its covering taken away from it, it must indubitably be weakened. The Sages, may their memory be blessed, have explicitly stated:
It is hard for a woman with whom an uncircumcised man has had sexual intercourse to separate from him. In my opinion this is the strongest of the reasons for circumcision.
Pages 609-610:
According to me circumcision has another very important meaning, namely, that all people professing this opinion-that is, those who believe in the unity of God-should have a bodily sign uniting them so that one who does not belong to them should not be able to claim that he was one of them, while being a stranger. For he would do this in order to profit by them or to deceive the people who profess this religion. Now a man does not perform this act upon himself or upon a son of his unless it be in consequence of a genuine belief. For it is not like an incision in the leg or a burn in the arm, but is a very, very hard thing.
It is also well known what degree of mutual love and mutual help exists between people who all bear the same sign, which forms for them a sort of covenant and alliance. Circumcision is a covenant made by Abraham our Father with a view to the belief in the unity of God. Thus everyone who is circumcised joins Abraham's covenant. This covenant imposes the obligation to believe in the unity of God: To be a God unto thee and to thy seed after thee. This also is a strong reason, as strong as the first, which may be adduced to account for circumcision; perhaps it is even stronger than the first.
The perfection and perpetuation of this Law can only be achieved if circumcision is performed in childhood.

Religion and it's hold on mankind has more to do with where we are at this point in history than most people realize. It is just as dangerous as rotten politics and is used as a control of masses.
