Pedigree of Terrorism Discovered
Half of all marriages in most Middle Eastern countries are between cousins. I think the pedigree of Islamic style terrorism has been discovered. When the Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty radio hosts made mention of the statistic, I didn’t believe it. So I did some research.
In Dorothy C. Wertz’s, PhD, article (from GeneLetter, March 1st, 2000) “Kissing Cousins: The Genetic Fallout of Consanquinity”, the statistic was revealed that in the Middle East, especially Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and Jordan, over half of all marriages are consanguineous, the common type being that of patrilateral first-cousins. This was followed in second place by Syria, the “Arab community” in Israel, Algeria, Lebanon, Egypt, Pakistan, where more than one in four marriages are consanguineous. With further research, I found this was common in Iraq and Iran as well. And, among the Muslims in Indonesia, and some islands in the Philippines currently facing problems of terrorism.
Strangely, I also found that families involved in the terrorist wing of the Irish Republican Army (IRA), and the ETA in Spain also had high rates kissing cousins.
It was then that a pattern emerged. A link between terrorism, and especially Islamic terrorism, and retrograde cultural genes.
In the United States, first-cousin marriage is not allowed, however consanguineous marriage occurs because of the Middle Eastern and South Asian immigrant community, some Old Order Amish, and Gypsies.
India use to take the rap for this, but again it was predominate in areas of former India which in the 1940’s became what is known today as Pakistan (“the First Islamic State”).
While this study noted that offspring of consanguineous matings (including incest) have, on average, about two-and-a-half times the rate of congenital malformations or genetic disorders as is found among non-consanguineous marriages in the same ethnic group, the PhD feels this is not a “genetic disaster”.
However, at this time, I am only interested in the statistics, not her opinions.
Of interest, is the link between ending up being like Prince Charles, with big ears and all, and terrorism.
The way I figure it, it doesn’t matter if you find out that “Mohammed” so and so didn’t marry his first cousin. Maybe he didn’t, and he probably married a second cousin or something. The deal is, with over half of all marriages among the Muslims among cousins of some sort, you got to figure even if the guy didn’t marry his cousin, he probably is already caring the terrorism gene, and whoever, whatever, he is marrying probably has that gene, too.
Is there a terrorism gene? Well, probably not, not exactly, and it’s probably even illegal to ask such a question.
But, there might be something to this kissing cousins stuff and the retrograde culture so predominate in the Middle East for the last several hundred years, and the whole Islamic terrorism thing which is ingrained in this culture. It could be a strictly cultural thing, an Islamic propensity for kissing cousins, their fear and hate of anyone who is “a stranger”, et all, they end up marrying each other and looking like Prince Charles, with heads like the “Most Wanted” list we were seeing, odd shaped heads on bodies who want to blow themselves up.
Let’s put George Bush’s head next to Osama bin Laden.
Well, both leave something to be desired, but you got to say, Mr. Bush is handsome next to Osama bin.
Now, I don’t know if Mr. Bush has a family history of marrying cousins, but I was wondering about Osama bin.
We do know, that, in the Islamic world, if you can show you are family of Mohammed, then somehow, you are a saint or something. Or at least, you are for sure the despot of some realm.
So, as soon as they find out someone in the family is “related to Mohammed” or some “saint”, they all start marrying each other so they can claim the lineage.
I started my research on Osama bin Laden, and while I couldn’t find any verifiable information pertinent Osama and the “Prince Charles syndrome”, strangely I did discover that Osame, “the Sheik”, “the Emir” (all entitlements that usually means Prince Charles syndrome) was involved in not only enticing young boys from Pakistan with promises of political power in a new government in Afghanistan, but also of mass abductions of young boys from their families in Pakistan and forcing them to fight in Jalalabad and Kabul, and that most of these kidnappers are part of the kissing cousins family.
It was shocking, and sickening.
I did discover, that Bin Laden has a wife of the Najwa Ghanem family, and the Ghanem family has a double-sided bond to Bin Laden. His wife and her siblings are also Bin Laden's first cousins.
Bingo.
This doesn’t explain bin Laden, but maybe Osama’s family is all messed up from his elders side of the gene pool. His mother is Alia. Ghanem, Bin Laden's first wife, is the daughter of Alia's brother. They married when she was 14 and he was about 18.
Bingo.
In India, the Sindhis do the same sort of thing, the kissing cousins stuff. They use a writing script that is Arabic origin, and are largely Muslim. In India, they say “most Sindhis are traitors” because “they are more loyal to their cousins than to their country (nation/government).”.
In India, they say that many Muslims carry a knife, and that this knife “is married to his cousin”.
Strange.
I don’t know if there is anything to all of this, all I got to say is, every time I’m in a WalMart store in the USA, and there is one of those slightly over weight ladies in a head scarf checking out the electric shavers, I start to worry if, as crazy as it sounds, “will one of these gals blow herself up?” – yadda.
I know it is wrong, and I shake such thoughts from my mind.
Instead, I think of Ali, Mohammed’s cousin and son-in-law married to his daughter Fatima, and in Shia Islam Ali is considered the first IMAM, a position he held from 632 when Mohammed died.
Peace be with you.
It's those terrorist Old Order Amish with big Prince Charles ears that I'm worried about.
A must read. Funny, but makes some sense in a smirky kind of way.
It's the culture, the religion, that breeds terrorist monsters.
On a side note, I remember reading Leon Uris's novel, The Hajj and there was a physically deformed Palestinian archeologist in it who said he'd never marry. That his deformaties were the result of all the inbreeding in his tribe, and he didn't want to risk passing it on to any offspring of his. I gathered there are quite a lot of inbreeding birth defects among Arabs. Do you know if that's true or false?
You might have something there. These folks are bastards from the long ago git-go.
As for this tendency to marry close relations, that may have something to do with a desire to keep property within the extended family.
Ever wonder why Muslims demand that their women stay covered in public?
Ever seen the "goat-boy" skit on SNL a few years ago?
