From the New York Times, a quote that shows some hope:
Hind Abinabi, a 52-year-old Shiite woman and mother of four, said to maim children was not only cruel, but also against the religion. ”When the rest of the world is going to the moon, look where these people are — still drawing blood from their heads,” she said.

Just wanted to point out that us ‘civilized’ folks do the same thing to some degree when we pierce our kids’ ears and especially in the case of the commonplace practice of circumcision for boys. The latter of which is truly angering and barbaric.
Hi RC–
I would not put ear piercing in the same category as having a kid’s head sliced with a razor. As to male circumcision, it’s less barbaric than it used to be and has been shown to prevent problems later in life. Many adult males undergo circumcision because of chronic problems. The process started out as ritual and ended up having medical benefit in many cases.
