Female Genital Mutilation (Africa)
The practice involves cutting a girl's vagina to create a seal that narrows the opening, making it just wide enough to allow the passing of urine and menstrual blood. Infibulated girls often have their legs bound together for up to four weeks to allow the freshly fused tissue to heal.

In most cases cutting is done by a traditional practitioner without any anesthesia and little care for hygiene. Razors, knives, or scissors are used and they are rarely sterilized. The surgery takes place wherever it is convenient, from out in the open to a bathroom floor.

Bloodletting for the Annual Mourning Rite (Shi'a Muslims)
Ritual Ashura bloodletting is one of several ceremonies at Shi'ite sites across the world marking the death of the Prophet Mohammad's grandson Imam Hussein at the 7th century battle of Kerbala, in which Shi'ite men hit the heads of boys with daggers, spilling blood onto Muslim streets.

People mourn the fact that they were not present at the battle to fight and save Husayn and his family by spilling their own blood and that of their children. Shi'a Muslims commonly believe that taking part in Ashura absolves them of sin. A popular Shi'a saying has it that, "a single tear shed for Husayn washes away a hundred sins."

Putting Elderly Out to Die in the Ice (Eskimos)
One of the most well-known stories about the Eskimos is the strange practice that they have adopted when facing death and old age.
When old age strikes, the elderly Eskimos are taken out to sea and set adrift on a floating iceberg. Alone on their iceberg, the elderly must inevitably freeze or starve to death.

Because the Eskimos believed that another world awaits their dead, they would be sending the elderly to move on to the afterlife with dignity, a way to gracefully exit without becoming a burden for the family. However, there are concerns that this practice is still in use among modern Eskimos.

Drinking from Human Skulls and Practicing Cannibalism (India)
The Aghoris of northern India are a splinter sect of Hinduism who still practice cannibalism. They consume the flesh of the dead bodies floating in the Ganges, in pursuit of immortality and supernatural powers. Members of the Aghori drink from human skulls and practice cannibalism in the belief that eating human flesh confers spiritual and physical benefits, such as the prevention of aging.

Eating Dead People's Ashes (Venezuela and Brazil)
The Yanomamö attribute a large fraction of deaths to the actions of malevolent shamans who send demons to consume the souls of people. Owing to this reason, upon death the corpse is very quickly burned. The men then collect and pulverize the bones and pour the ash into a set of gourds. After about a year, close relatives and villagers consume the ash, which is mixed into a large trough of plantain soup. This type of endocannibalism demonstrates affection for the dead and solidarity with the deceased's relatives. It also helps insure that the souls of the dead will find their way to a paradise, according to their tradition.

Pulling a Tooth during Adulthood (Australia)
In this ritual a man lies down on his back, resting his head on the lap of a sitting man. Later, he fills his mouth with fur string for the purpose of absorbing the blood, deadening the pain, and preventing the tooth from being swallowed, as well. The same man then takes a piece of wood in which a hole is made, usually the sharp end of a spear, presses it firmly against the tooth, and strikes it sharply with a stone.

Massacring Animals (India, Indonesia and Nepal)
Bali Sacrifice is the ritual killing of an animal in Hinduism. The method includes strangulation and the use of a wooden spile driven into the heart. The reason for this is that priests see it as a bad omen for the animals to make noise when killed.

The ritual slaughter normally forms part of a festival to honor a Hindu God. Ritual animal sacrifice also includes a cockfight where a rooster is used to fight against another rooster, a form of animal sacrifice. The spilling of blood is necessary as purification to appease the evil spirits.

Barbaric cultures, lord have mercy.

I hate the girls mutilation, that girl is still young. You forgot to add the boys circumcision

Everybody with their own cultures . . . As far as say e no affect you!!

HumbledbYGrace: I hate the girls mutilation, that girl is still young. You forgot to add the boys circumcision

Male circumcision is not considered controversial by more than a few people. Moreover it is not comparable to female genital mutilation and is actually helpful in preventing the spread of HIV.

What about the annual oro ritual in yorubaland,where a curfew is announced and those caught during the curfew are sacrificed.Still common in Lagos especially Ikorodu where it's done in broad daylight.

HumbledbYGrace: I hate the girls mutilation, that girl is still young. You forgot to add the boys circumcision

Male Circumcision is allowed even in the bible

One man's culture; another man's taboo.

I'm not surprise at all, another bunch of deluded black folks ridden with inferiority complex. Tell us,what make male circumcision or female circumcision controversial? It's been proven that those practices are beneficial.

I never see where the OP mentioned on Incest; which is a controversial stuff being practice by White folks.

The thread should reads "Rituals White folks find controversial."

I wonder where the Shia got their own doctrines from.. This practices in totally unislamic,it has no place in Islam at all

Religous men today have fine-tuned all of these - they simply TAKE your money.

What about the ritual of alter call or tithe giving, where brainwashed sheeps effortless give away their hard earned cash to jet riding con-men? Or the ritual of worshipping and eating n drinking the flesh n blood of a dead Jewish zombie who was sacrificed by his father/himself to cleanse away sins stemming from a magic apple, some woman, and a talking snake in some garden

For your information, during female circumcision, the c*lito*ris is cut off making it impossible for the girl once grown into adult to have any 'heavenly' feelings during sex. So what is the need then of a lady engaging in sex if she does not enjoy it because her cli*to*ris has been cut off? What of the pain these little girls go through since no anesthesia is given before the procedure? What of the infections these girls can get as a result of unsterilized blades being used on them? What of all the cases whereby young girls bled to death after the gen*i*tal circumcision? Just admit it, African culture is overwhelmingly barbaric and hardly benefits the female gender. I must see to it that none of my female children marry from barbaric cultures. End of.

Really?

You better go talk to girls who have been circumcised and check your facts

There are more than one type of orgasm (interesting, o r g a s ---- m is changed to a PC term)

Any references for bleeding to death and infection assertions?

Please do share

How about Nigeria?

Just imagine how loquacious you sounded as if you're the original author of those utterances that came out your mouth. African culture was not barbaric to you until a white man said so, another misinformed soul.

How many have you witnessed, if not copying everything you found on a tabloid. You're talking about pain, babies undergo much pain during birth. In fact, what's the bolded sentences supposed to mean?
