Abu Dhabi will pay for the snip

Important news that AFP felt obliged to report, and we felt necessary to pass on:

The health authority in the capital of the United Arab Emirates said the government-backed insurance firm, Daman, has included circumcision operations in existing insurance policies for new Muslims. Converts will have to present a certificate, issued by an Abu Dhabi court, attesting to their conversion.




Aside, there comes a point where red tape is just unnecessary. A certificate for circumcision? Surely, there are other ways to check for the snip. No grown man would go through that pain for any other reason other than religion.
