(“According to the decision on the matter, to stand firm in his opinion not to permit the circumcision for the son of a non-Jewish woman, until everyone knows that a son born to a non-Jewish woman is a complete foreigner, and one who marries a non-Jewish woman begets foreign children, and the only solution for the children is that if they grow up, they must convert” – Responsa Sridei Esh, Part 1, Siman 46, page 128)
