It certainly not worth pushing it on any one besides possibly satisfying people who have nothing to do with it and seem very ignorant about the prosiger ...or maybe some others who might want some minorities out of Germany...which is another issue or maybe not.

well, the "wait until older" argument is not completely trivial, and fits better into modern standards of behaviour. It is not completely unimaginable that the norm changes at some point in the future so that circumcision occurs at an older age eg bar mitzvah age. But i think a change of this nature will be taken because the Jewish communities have themselves decided to, and not because Germany has decided it's barbaric.
In any case unlike skybird who offers 50:50 odds on this passing, i offer only 1:20 odds on this passing. I am very sure that this will be shot down with extreme prejudice once it gets to Berlin.
