No offense to anyone with Trisomy 21 but at what point will these people become too retarded to figure out how to set off a bomb? After 50 generations of incest they should have reached that point by now.

Well, this explains a lot.

We should let them know that their particular predilection is perfectly normal and that they should continue no, increase its incidence.

(Just don’t tell them that the truth of the matter is that Mother Nature will b!tch-slap them into extinction... The sooner the better).

[knarf]

Thanx for posting ... yes, this DOES explain a lot.

I guess they're real when they say 'cuz' ...

Actually incest doesn't CREATE troublesome genes ~ it merely creates more opportunities for harmful autosomal recessive genes to do a mix and match job.

Actually, not all autosomal recessives are harmful.

The Moslem preference for first cousin marriage may well be based on folk wisdom that allows those societies to isolate schizophrenia (and 5 other serious mental problems) from the rest of society.

I went looking for the incidence of schizophrenia on the net and found that in the US we have a 1.2% average incidence. African Americans have triple that incidence. Some old studies suggested Checnyans were as high as 9% ~ they, BTW, have some strange marriage rules ~ one set for women and a different set for men. They seem geared to minimizing harmful autosomal recessives, so there may again be a folk observation about breeding habits and resultant mental problems.

Just guessing but given the extreme legalism found in Islam, their schizophrenia rate is probably up around 20% or maybe even more!

Bet it's difficult to find moderates in that crowd ~ but rather easy to locate a suicide bomber, or someone happy to kill people for no reason at all.

Part of it is incest, but the other sickening aspect of Islam is pedophilia. The prophet Mohammad, may he damned to hell, was a pedophile. Islam is utter evil. Any true believer is infected with that evil.

Recently these sodomites have moved into my area. They are not trying to be American. They want to impose their ways. There will be a day of reckoning.

“the widespread practice of Muslim inbreeding and the birth defects and social ills that it spawns. “

Preaching to the choir here.

[null and void]

Since women are in mortal danger from muslim men, it makes sense to only allow your daughter to marry a blood relative.

That she is a close blood relative provides some slight protection from the horrific abuse a non-related woman would get.

You might be able to reign in your brother or your cousin as your daughter’s husband, some guy from another village? No way.

I think the picture at the link is of someone with the “elephant man” syndrome, not necessarily a problem with genetic issues.

I agree....let them continue. Allah wants retarded followers.

Saudi Arabia Awakes to the Perils of Inbreeding

The problem with inbreeding is one of receiving two copies of the same messed up gene. Not one of having an extra chromosome i.e. trisomy 21.

[Kenny Bunk]

Great Post.

Muslims are dangerous and dangerously inbred. I have been posting this to FR for years. Maybe it's catching on.

Ask anyone who knows anything about Britain's National Health. It is in real danger of actually being bankrupted by the statistical anomaly presented by the huge number of Pakistani Birth defects.

Saudis? Huge numbers are drooling fools: deaf, cross-eyed, bad kidneys, polydactilism, strange body morphism, tragic Birth Defects, and nuttier than fruitcakes.

The Saudi government is feverishly subsidizing the importation of suitable foreign Muslim breeding stock in order to open up the gene pool.

The Curious Case of Carlos II

Getting back on topic, if we're looking for a royal personage who was a victim of inbreeding depression the clearest candidate is Carlos II (1661-1700), the last Habsburg king of Spain. Most history books will tell you his deficiencies were the result of excessive inbreeding, but let's look at the evidence for ourselves.

How inbred was he?

That Carlos was the product of inbreeding is undeniable. Since the days of his ancestor Charles V (1500-1558, aka Carlos I of Spain), the Habsburgs had been in the habit of marrying members of the family's Spanish branch to members of the Austrian branch. Oh yeah, in their heyday the Habsburgs controlled not only the Spanish and Austrian Empires but also the low countries (Benelux), Portugal, southern Italy (Naples and Sicily), Milan and Burgundy.

Have a look at Carlos II's family tree. His mother and father were niece and uncle. Granted, this was sort of an accident of history given that this was Philip IV's second marriage, and it just so happened that none of the sons of his first wife, Elisabeth of Bourbon, lived long enough to accede to the throne.



A couple of other fun facts indicative of Carlos' pedigree collapse:

(1) Carlos was descended from his great great great grandparents Juana la Loca (1479-1555) and Philip the Handsome (1478-1506, Felipe el Hermoso) through three of their children.

(2) whereas someone whose ascendants (i.e. direct ancestors) were all unrelated to their spouses would have 32 great great great grandparents, Carlos only had 14.

How messed up was he?

Carlos' physical and mental deficiencies earned him the nickname "El Hechizado" (The Hexed). First off, there was his debilitating overbite. Prominent chins ran in the Habsburg family (check out the portraits of Charles V or of Carlos' father Philip IV), but with Carlos II the condition was so bad that he had problems chewing. It's also said that it was difficult to understand Carlos when he spoke and that he frequently drooled. To me this seems analogous to those overly purebred Persian cats whose faces are so flat that they have respiratory problems and their tear ducts get blocked up.

This, however, was the least of Carlos' problems. He was feeble and sickly, prone to high fevers which kept him confined to his bed. It's also said that he suffered from seizures, that he invariably vomited on carriage rides due to chronic motion sickness, and that his eyes oozed liquid in open air. In addition to his physical shortcomings, Carlos II was purportedly dim-witted and he was left basically uneducated. The classic 1911 Encyclopedia Britannica claims "there was no room in his nearly imbecile mind for more than childish superstition, insane pride of birth, and an interest in court etiquette." Due to his weak health, he remained mostly idle while his mother, his bastard brother Don Juan José of Austria, and his advisors made most of the decisions affecting the Empire, with Carlos' most vigorous activity consisting of the occasional hunt.

Although he was married twice Carlos II fathered no children, and it is assumed that he was infertile if not actually impotent. His reign as king was largely disastrous and his inability to produce an heir led to the War of Spanish Succession.

Was this inbreeding depression?

As I said above, Carlos' mandibular prognasthism sounds like a heriditary physical trait which became exacerbated to the point of becoming a deformity due to inbreeding. Moreover, his sickliness and sexual dysfunction appear analogous to immunity and reproduction problems which have been documented in highly inbred lab rats. Therefore, I think it seems very likely that Carlos' problems did indeed stem from inbreeding depression.

Interestingly enough, Carlos' sister the Infanta Margarita Teresa (1651-1673, who as a little girl was the subject of Velázquez's masterpiece Las Meninas) was not affected by the same problems as him. She was lively and beautiful although, judging by her portrait, she looks like she had a strong chin. Margarita was married to the Emperor Leopold I (her uncle and first cousin) who was himself pretty inbred and had an abnormal underbite although he was otherwise fit and intelligent. They had six children (only one of whom survived to adulthood) before Margarita died at the age of 21.

*Technically* it’s not incest, at least as our society currently defines that. Incest is a sexual relationship with a *near* blood relative such as sibling, parent, or grandparent. Breeding with cousins isn’t incest ... it’s just icky.

The term the writer should have used was “inbreeding” rather than “incest.” Interestingly, inbreeding is sometimes used by breeders of horses, etc. in search of strengthening a particular physical trait. But of course, horse breeders have the freedom to cull the genetic disasters.

No wonder Islamic societies never have any real achievements and everyone lives in squalor — except to the extent they can seel oil or steal from someone else who is productive. They are the ultimate Marxists, redistributing and stealing wealth.
