I agree with the OP and would include fatiha khwanis, jashan-e-milad and various other contraptions that muslims of Pakistan have come up with.

If ashoora jaloos is to protest the shahdat of Imam Hussain (ra), who are they protesting against and what relief are they seeking? The people responsible for that are long gone. Moreover, the processions include things, such as beating and bleeding oneself, that seem to serve no purpose and an argument could be made that they are prohibited.

Would you include the Jalsa Salana by the Ahmadi community in that list as well?
