What is the primary objection of the circumcised believers?

Actes 11:3 (NEG79)

3 en disant: Tu es entré chez des incirconcis, et tu as mangé avec eux.

The primary objection raised against the conduct of Peter is his decision to go into the house of a Gentile and eat and have fellowship with him.1 This action was considered to be contrary to God’s will since it was out of step with the purity laws. With a reference to Gentiles as uncircumcised men, it is possible that this objection also included additional demands for these Gentiles to be circumcised and observe the old covenant food laws.2
