I wonder how legitimate these concerns are. Muslims in many areas have been doing this for literally centuries.
If it were as harmful as some claim, one would expect the damage to be much greater by now than it apparently is.
It comes up all the time in Mn because boat loads of Somalis have moved here and they are cousin lovers. The politicians would have us believe it’s perfectly fine to marry your cousin, you are racist if you object.
Fairly common here in Appalachia too
As a matter of fact, my family tree is so messed up, I entered into a genealogy site and it knocked the website down for two days.
“Inbreeding among British Muslims”
well, that explains alot.
It explains a lot.
www.consang.net has a chart "Globally, the most common form of consanguineous union contracted is between first cousins"
Global prevalence of consanguinity
Coincidence? I don't think so.
(Sources of the images are in the links.)
The text is here
Not surprising that there is nothing there that states explicitly that Islamists blah, blah. There is this sole reference (that I could find) "double first cousin marriages, which have the same coefficient of inbreeding [as uncle-niece unions] (F = 0.125), are recognized within Islam"
It seems to me that if "Globally, the most common form of consanguineous union contracted is between first cousins" and the chart shows the Arab countries with the preponderance of consanguineous marriages then that lends a great deal of authority to other 'Net sources that state it outright: "First cousin marriages have been the tradition in many Muslim families for innumerable generations."
Thanks for your post.. I love to post that chart. I hope the owners don't mind and are indeed pleased for the additional publicity.
Why be outraged? Either it does, or it doesn’t. Deal with it.
May be harmful??? I thought that was pretty well established.
The bearded savages have done a good job of demonizing themselves.
Hopefully they will inbreed themselves out of existence.
Marrying your first cousin is, as I understand it, biologically the same as marrying your half sister.
The UK Muslims are upset that someone finally called them on their 1,400 years of inbreeding? Gosh, talk about the obvious. Inbreeding certainly accounts for instabilities in the Muslim psyche.
It is very easy to see the result of inbreeding. We have over 1500 years of it for these two-footed rats. Not hard at all to see.
Do some searches with terms like Middle East Consanguinity Islam.
This has been well known for decades.
Well that's something that you don't see everyday.
let the Muslims breed themselves into oblivion.
Hip dysplasia should not be the worse think this breed of dogs should suffer.....
