FILES - Picture taken on September 27, 2008 in Algiers shows Algerian doctors circumcising a boy during a mass circumcision at a local hospital. Jewish and Muslim groups have issued a joint call for German lawmakers to protect the right to circumcise boys after a court ruling against the rite sent shockwaves through their communities. Several Jewish and Islamic organisations said in a statement released on July 11, 2012 that they had met with legal and medical experts and European Parliament deputies in Brussels this week to discuss the court's decision.
