As it points out, Muslims in the UK have about half the rate as in their mother country—which is about equivalent to Christan Arabs (half that of corresponding Muslim Arabs).
What Genesis 16:12 says of Ishmael and his descendants.
New International Version
He will be a wild donkey of a man; his hand will be against everyone and everyone’s hand against him, and he will live in hostility toward all his brothers.”
God of Abraham is always correct!
This line of research will go down the memory hole once the Fatwas start flying.
Do they think breeding with goats will solve this problem?
I wonder if that is why they have such bad BO? LOL!!
Well, DUH!

In the European families, you had the two wings of the Hapsburgs: the Spanish and Austrian. The Spanish Hapsburgs intermarried...a lot. They eventually died out, with the last Spanish Hapsburg king dying in 1700 or so. Which led to the “War of Spanish Succession” when the French Bourbon king tried to place a relative on the Spanish throne. By the way, the last couple of Spanish kings were drooling idiots.
The Austrian Hapsburgs fared somewhat better, but not all that great. They very much frowned on marriage outside of their tribal clique, but to my knowledge kept the 1st and 2nd cousins apart.
Since Queen Victoria had a gob of kids and married them off to everybody but the Hapsburgs, and then those kids all had their kids marry each other, it’s no surprise the Battenburgs (now Windsors) had genetic problems. Czar Nicholas II married his 1st cousin, Alexandra of Hesse, a union that resulted in a hemophiliac male heir. Nicholas II was 1st cousin to King George V, grandfather of Elizabeth II. When they dug up the remains of Nicholas’ family, they sought as many close family members as they could for samples to confirm identity through DNA. Of course, they hit up the Windsors. You’d think they’d use Queen Elizabeth, since she was a direct descendant of a 1st cousin. Nope; her husband, Prince Phillip was used since he was considered a closer match.
Land and money is the only difference between Prince Charles and your stereotypical inhabitant of Appalachia.
Quick, call Katie Couric. She wants a muslim Cosby Show.
She’s my goat! ( smack) My sister!! ( smack) My goat! ( smack) My sister!! ( smack)
SHE’S MY GOAT AND MY SISTER!!
The Church of England still permits first-cousin marriage; the Roman Catholic Church also will allow it.
The additional birth-defect risk is said to be about that for a 40-year-old mother...about 2%.

Yeah, we could call it, “Maried My Children.” Next logical step, eh?
“Happens to the beautiful people in a high school, too. Jocks, cheerleaders and student body officers inbreed, and pretty soon youve got to assemble 20 in a room to get a cumulative IQ over 100.”
Actually, many studies have shown that HS athletes have markedly higher average IQs (and better grades in like classes and better SAT scores) compared to the student body overall.
College, this is not the case.
With the knowledge we have today we could AVOID them and marry only our first cousins and sisters who do not have them in their DNA.
The great danger, then, would be "strangers" who have them but we don't know about them!
But my comment was about the Bourbonnaise, mostly, who tried to marry AWAY from the mainline ~ THEY STARTED OUT with a couple of dwarves and some idiots.
Later generations were marrying Magyars! Somebody figured out the rules for them.
I do know of a case where a French Bourbon descendant showed up in Sweden and the first thing the king did was give him one of his illegitimate daughters as a wife. The king himself had a Great Grandmother who was also a Bourbon descendant. It was 4 generations of separation, within the family, but the Swedes had this thing about just grabbing women from the village, so no doubt there was a lot of genetic variation in this pairing.
Some of these people were pretty earthy and knew intimately about how you raised pigs, and sometimes you have to breed out or you get thin pigs.
Marrying first cousins is perfectly legal in most countries. A one off marriage between first cousins isn’t usually a problem though with about the same incidence of birth defects amongst offspring as those between non-related couples. However, when it is when it is done generation after generation, genetic weaknesses start to show and as it progresses down the generations, inbreeding becomes a serious problem. A culture that allows cousin marriage is OK, a culture that virtually compels cousin marriage is inviting serious health problems....
Amazing how fast this story makes it way around the internet.
I have already received this story via email from two different parties. One person is located in California and the other person is from England.

A friend who has just returned from a civilian position in Afghanistan reported that those people are not very bright and they have remarkably poor vision.
She said the vision problem is due to an almost total lack of prenatal care. On top of that, most will not or do not wear glasses.
