Available data suggest that genetic and congenital disorders are more common in Arab countries than in industrialised countries; recessively inherited disorders account for a substantial proportion of physical and mental handicap. Several factors may contribute to the high prevalence of genetically determined disorders:
High consanguinity rates 25-60% of all marriages are consanguineous, and the rate of first cousin marriages is high. In addition, isolated subpopulations with a high level of inbreeding exist. Furthermore, in many parts of the Arab world the society is still tribal. This has made the epidemiology of genetic disorders complicated, as many families and tribal groups are descended from a limited number of ancestors and some conditions are confined to specific villages, families, and tribal groups, leading to an unusual burden of genetic diseases in these communities (table B on bmj.com)
The high prevalence of haemoglobinopathies, glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency, autosomal recessive syndromes, and several metabolic disorders (fig A and table C on bmj.com)
The rate of children with Down's syndrome in some Arab countries exceeds the 1.2-1.7 per 1000 typical for industrialised countries. This may be related to the relatively high proportion of births to older mothers in the region (up to 50% of children with Down's syndrome in the region are estimated to be born to mothers aged 40 or over)
The lack of public health measures directed at the prevention of congenital and genetic disorders, with inadequate health care before and during pregnancy, particularly in low income countries
Services for the prevention and control of genetic disorders are restricted by certain cultural, legal, and religious limitations, such as the cultural fear of families with genetic diseases being stigmatised within their community and the legal restrictions on selective termination of pregnancy of an affected fetus.

This explains how primitive these peoples are. Even many of our own native American tribes, before white man brought "civilization" had strict prohibition against marrying within the family (clan). These Arabs are centuries behind!

East of the Mississippi the clan and gentile systems were most highly developed. The rules against marriage within the clan or gens were strictly enforced.
Oh, I don't know about that. History has shown us that whenever the population if Islam increases, they end up slaughtering themselves shortly after the period of slaughtering infidels.
This is because the treasure they steal during the slaughter of infidels is spent, the productive societies they invade slowly begin to fail as the dhimmi population converts (or dies) to Islam in order to avoid excessive taxation and oppressive treatment.
War breaks out among themselves, starvation and sickness kills them off in large numbers. Remnants of the societies they wiped out begin to re emerge and rebuild, starting once again on the path of progress.
Except this time, using our technological advances in science, medicine, and agriculture, we'll keep them alive.
Reminds me of that song "I'm my own grandpa" Sung by Tom Arnold in the show "the stupids"
Most interesting.
LOL!
American need to learn this in case their foolish daughter hooks up with one of these Muslim's shopping for a western woman. The father should demand a largwe dowry that the guy couldn't possibly afford. That would put an end to that relationship, and saving their daughters from a life of beatings and misery as well.

Amazing. They are breeding themselves into oblivion.
Under Islam, a Muslim is not obligated to pay dowry to a non-Muslim. So if the girl is over 18, he'll just ignore the dad
Did you notice the Bush-Cheney ball cap picture in that video?
It seems whenever we have a story in the paper about a bad or unstable dog , usually a American Pit Bull Terrier , we find out that the line has been inbred for a few generations... coincidence?
Yes I noticed
oh this thread should be fun. I post this before reading but this is one of the more obvious yet seldom discussed issues. Another serious issue is polygamy - where the top 5% of men can marry the top 20% of women, leaving the bottom 15% of men without even an opportunity to marry. It results in some sexual abuses, a sense of hopelessness, envy, anger. Now I will go read what has been posted and see if it touches on these subjects.
Sure...Bush and Rove. /sarc
