Massive inbreeding within the Muslim culture during the last 1.400 years may have done catastrophic damage to their gene pool. The consequences of intermarriage between first cousins often have serious impact on the offspring's intelligence, sanity, health and on their surroundings
The most famous example of inbreeding is in ancient Egypt, where several Pharaonic dynasties collapsed after a couple of hundred years. In order to keep wealth and power within the family, the Pharaohs often married their own sister or half-sister and after a handful of generations the offspring were mentally and physically unfit to rule.
Another historical example is the royal houses of Europe where royal families often married among each other because tradition did not allow them to marry people of non-royal class.
The high amount of mentally retarded and handicapped royalties throughout European history shows the unhealthy consequences of this practice. Luckily, the royal families have now allowed themselves to marry for love and not just for status.
The Muslim culture still practices inbreeding and has been doing so for longer than any Egyptian dynasty. This practice also predates the world's oldest monarchy (the Danish) by 300 years......

OK Thanks. That makes sense.
I don’t think we have that much time.
Ping for a later read...
Inter breeding closely related genomes will result in two things. It reduces or eliminates genetic abnormalities and it reinforces or increases those desirable attributes. This practice is used by cattle breeders all the time, as well by many other domestic animal breeders. The animal breeders then cull the abnormal ones thereby improving the breed.
Those cultures that engage in marrying brother to sister or first cousin to first cousin fail to cull the abnormal resulting in a decline of the affected population. The decline when it is first cousin marrying first cousin is very slow and probably not noted until modern day.
Let us keep in mind, where do we draw a line? After first cousins, after second, fifth, twentieth? It is a near certainty that all of those of European heritage are cousins and probably over 60% that the entire world population, seven billion, are cousins. There is no such thing as a perfect stranger among the human species.
They’ve been secretly breeding, like hangers, in the Senate cloak room.
In fact, many of them were not even vertebrates.

A 1999 study said that consanguineous marriages (marriages between blood relatives) were about half of all marriages in Pakistan. Marriages are arranged there -- one advantage is the girl's family knows that their child is unlikely to be mistreated - "an extremely important consideration in a Islamist society where abuse of women is common."
"Much data now exists to prove that the risks [of consanguineous marriages] are real. In a study from Norway (American J of Epidemiology, Mar '97) the investigators compared approximately 7500 children born to two Pakistani parents (30% of whom were consanguineous) to children born to Norwegian parents and found the risk of birth defects to be increased by 39% in the Pakistani children overall. They attributed 28% of these birth defects to consanguinity - no increase in risk in children of non-consanguineous Pakistani parents relative to the Norwegian population was found."
". . . Since 50% or more of our genetic material is expressed in the brain, it is logical to presume that consanguinity of parents may have subtle neuro-developmental effects in their children."
Quotes are from an Internet source. This has been known for hundreds of years despite the aged 1960s Marxist-Alinsky campus radicals (psycho spoiled brats) and their bratty ideological issue babblers.
This is factual and is a very common point of discussion among Middle Eastern medical professionals who treat neuro-developmental illnesses. The rates of such conditions in the Arab countries are far outside global norms and the blame falls on intra-familial marriages and incest.
Similarly, my fellow faculty members all received their doctorates in Europe or the US, at top-notch universities. They didn't get them at diploma mills.
I really have no idea about the marriage practices of the Turkish intellectual elite. It would be interesting to find out.
A very good article. Read it all the way to the end.
It not just marrying cousins, it’s continuing this practice for generations, even hundreds of years. In these groups, members would be as genetically close as siblings, or even closer, if possible.
From the article, the rate of first-cousin marriage in Turkey is 25-30%, much less than the other countries cited.
And that 25-30% is likely concentrated among the less-educated portion of the population; those you met were probably not particularly interbred.
it’s not “muslim” inbreeding...it predates Islam (remember Abraham marrying his half sister?) and is not found in non Arab countries except in a few tribal areas of Pakistan.
And yes, it is a problem.
Placemark.
Have you seen this?
(I’m immersed in fruit processing still, more on the way - peaces and plums.)
Timely. Only a few days ago, I was looking at images of birth deformities in Iraq, all attributed to certain munitions used by the US, and wondered...just how many were the result of centuries of inbreeding?
Islam is a blot, a curse, a prison...
——Actually oldest European monarchy...Japan is oldest world. ——
Last time I checked Japan was not in Europe....western civilization....
But your point is taken...
