Any chance they could inbreed themselves out of existance?????
Just wishin'!!
Ahhh..
the West Virginia sect.
"About 40 percent of Muslim and Druze women and 70 percent of Bedouin women in the region were found to be married to first- or second-degree relatives."
You don't say?

"The program emphasizes the fact that consanguineous marriage is in no way mandated by Islam. Rooted in ancient custom, consanguinity is nonetheless widespread in the Arab world; for example, a 1989 study in Iraq found 53 percent of the subjects to be consanguineously married."
Ah, so they don't have to marry their relatives - they just like to. That is totally gross.
btttt
Clans love inbreeding. It strengthens them. aside from the genetic defects. It strengthens clan solidarity and common purpose.
Arabs are very tribal so this works out great for them
First cousin marriage is not so bad in isolation. But when done over generations it compounds itself and makes for genetic defects. Allah FUBAR!!
Explains so much.
Gee, now the Arabs will have another excuse to want to annihilate the Jews.
A real Sheik Ned Al Beatty Moment.
Just wishin'!!
I'll wish with ya!
Yes, but...up until say a thousand years ago wouldn't all people everywhere be marrying more-or-less close genetic relatives?
People weren't very mobile until recently.
Hey, when your "religion" is open to any interpretation you please to allow you to have your way with Sis, then toss her as your "honor killing" stabbing post as part of your religion's legal arm (sharia) while providing your "religion" with a fresh, chromosome shy future suicide bomber for the cause...I mean, it doesn't get any better than that, does it?
So basically this article says that many arabs are crazy, and will continue to produce crazy off-spring. Osama must be just giddy.
I've actually met that guy, and believe ot or not, he's not retarded. As a matter of fact, if you met him today, someone would have to tell you who he was. He is probably in his early 40's by now, but once you realize who he is, you will recognize him immediately. He's a super nice guy to boot.
Except for wars. With all the taking of captives for slaves and raping and pillaging, there was some room for genetic diversity.
You're right. I forgot. Huge slave trade esp. in Roman times.
