Of course we should stop this animalistic practice. But there are many other subhuman things that are practiced by "cultures" around the world that we must end as well.

I don't know why some people think it's justified to force an end to this foreign practice while tolerating things like Sharia marriage and divorce just because it's "part of a religion". (which isn't something I would describe as "animalistic" or "subhuman", but it's certainly inconsistent with our established moral and cultural standards) What if a religion demanded female circumcision? Should we tolerate it because they're poor minorities (by some liberals' perception... virtually every minority is the majority somewhere in the world) who we shouldn't be mean to?

Animalistic is the wrong word.  Most animals don't intentionally hurt their own young because of a demented tradition.  It is nothing short of pure evil, whether it be done by a Christian or Islamic country.   If something is abusive, it should be stomped out and every effort made to eradicate it; cultural considerations ought to be irrelevant.
