It's a tradition that's over 700 years old and it involves dangling and then dropping infants from the roof of a mosque.
On Thursday hundreds of babies under the age of two were shaken in the air before being dropped off the roof of the Baba Umer Durga, a Muslim shrine, in western India. The act is part of an ancient ritual that is believed to ensure good health for the children and prosperity for their families.

Beats me how this 'custom' can give your child 'good health' and 'prosperity'!! How on earth did this custom get started?? Some person just happened to think, "HEY, WHAT A GREAT IDEA!! Let's drop some babies off the roof for good luck!!!"????
Sorry, I just don't get it!
Muslim baby dropping?
Hmmm...
I’m “conflicted” on this one.
UGH! Ya beat me! :(
Because they are not civilized people. They are barbarians. They are animals that know how to speak. They are one step above prehistoric cave dwellers. They are tribes with electricity.
Your kung fu is better than mine.
It’s in India.....but it’s a mosque.
Everywhere where evil and bizarre things happen, Islam seems to be there.
Dudes...Western culture is superior to all other forms of society. With all its bumps and flaws, our brand of democracy still beats the wheels off of whatever backward, jerkwater foreign voodoo you animals have back in your home country. We've got the best medical care, the most personal freedom, the nicest lawns, and a better standard of living than anyplace, and, sorry, but your customs are just...well...stupid. We take all the blame for oppressing women, but hey, it's not us performing the honor killings and locking them up like cattle. We take all the blame for how much energy we use, but you backward bastards would exploit the Earth just as much if your damn-fool Ball-worshiping Imams and what have you would allow it, and by the way, you're complete and utter morons for letting them do it. The last "royalty" we had (other than stupid rich celebrities) was booted out of the Colonies two hundred years ago (although granted, it's taken us a while to realize we're oppressed again, I have hopes for that as well.)
We take all the blame for being imperialistic, but while you Old World, land grubbing, greedy, self-rightous beggars have been taking each other over back and forth for two thousand years, we haven't taken any part of the old world during most of our history, and wherever we go, we leave the property in better shape then when we got there. We've saved the world three times now from various fascist despots, and you can bet your lazy European backside that when it comes time AGAIN to save your homelands from the NEXT bunch of crazy madmen who want to tell you how to live your lives, it's going to be "Where's America? What happened to America? Wasn't it here a second ago? Who's going to rush in with money and soldiers and save us from our own stupid immigration policies and tolerance now?"
All you other guys, maybe nonsense like this will soon remind my people, the Americans, what we knew clear as a bell fifty years ago but have lost, thanks to European presidents like the one we have now...you are all ungrateful pinheads who can't govern your own lands and won't let us do it, but you know who's going to pick up the tab the next time the bullies snatch the world's lunch money.
And frak, that should be “Baal-worshipping”.

They have good health for as long as they live, right?
Survival of the fittest?
This reminds me of the stories of sacrifices to Moloch. It’s not surprising though, this is what happens when you abandon morality.
Well that explains a lot of things about the ROP. Apparently a significant percentage of them are dropped on their heads.
Given that abortion is legal in the US and most of Europe, I wouldn't be in a hurry to reach that conclusion.
Is that islamese for "baby go splat"?
And the ones that survive become Izlamaniacs...
