CHAN: Devotees at a Muslim shrine in western India’s Maharastra district perform a bizarre ritual: throwing babies. They toss infants from a height of 50 feet onto a cloth sheet held by both Muslim and Hindu worshippers. They believe it’s good for the newborn babies’ health. STORY: The faithful have been observing the infant-throwing ritual at the Solapur shrine for over five hundred years. It’s practiced by parents who are blessed with a child after taking a vow at the dargah, the Muslim place of worship. The devotees of Musti village believe that it’s good for the health of the newborn, and that the whole exercise makes the children strong. But for onlookers, this age-old ritual may seem a bit bizarre, and, well, dangerous. The good news is, they say no newborns have ever been harmed or injured in the process.

ok, im sorry. you are all fucked in the head and have far too MANY people. YOU ARE NUTS!@!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
MUSLIMS are peace loving people. We do not have stupid and retarded traditions in our religion. From what i know, our god forbids those acts that is dangerous for ourselves and others. This is pure cultural practices in India, where they do countless senseless retarded and unexplainable rituals (no offense to indians, im just speaking the truth)
Stupid indians they dont use deodarant. They smell liekc rap.
what dicks
Shut the fuck up.
Yeah, has nobody told them concrete is the way to go?
just to clear things up this has absolutely nothing to do with any regulations or requirements in Islam. which is why you don’t see muslims anywhere else in the world doing this. this is just a cultural practice.
And I thought only the folks in China were messed up.
1 question….what if they missed? LOL
hey chinese bitch since when it is a Hindu ritual?
Eckee englizee yah hiyawan. People war lol THe Taqiyah is most definatly a religious symbol to be like the prophet muhammad. It is the mans choice. Some also choose to wear the Tarboosh. Yes, it was Hindus too. You got one correct. Mabrook
that has got top be the stupidest thing I’ve ever read
haha… how did you draw that conclusion??? people war all kinds of things due to the heat.. the taqiyah as you called it, is NOT a religious symbol.. it is more so cultural than anything… many Muslims countries and nations who don’t wear a taqiyah ya know… just saying, besides i heard this on other news coverages and it said it was Hindos too
Of course they are Muslim they are wearing the taqiyah.
its only fair if the idiot parents throw themselves off the building first .
Fucking primitives…
This is not in Islam AT ALL, it’s an innovation made by misguided individuals, no one else ANYWHERE in the world does this, it’s wrong it’s cruel to the babys and an insult to Islam
LOL
I am with you on that. I am SHOCKED.
This is why when you call cusomer service they act weird. They practically had their snapped and brain rattled when they were young. BTW isnt that considered inhumane?
I doubt they’re Muslims either….
I have been raised to be tolerant of other cultures, but this has to be said:
Fuck you India, fuck you.
lol. at least hindu’s don’t call other religions polytheistic like a bunch of uneducated gorillas. but yeah, from the height they throw the children, maybe not so smart. if it’s religious, then hey, can’t argue with god. it’s like arguing with circumcision or baptism. ew, circumcision. thank god i’m hindu and female.
I totally understand that other cultures have rituals & stuff that we don’t agree w/ or understand but this seems way too damn dangerous. It scares the shit out of me!
HELL NO, I would never do this.
how on earth is it good for the babies ? What do they think, the children are bouncing balls ? Goodness… this is outrageous !
