That is of course an insult to crackers, to compare them to inbred muzzies.

Services for the prevention and control of genetic disorders are restricted by certain cultural, legal, and religious limitations, [ . . . ]and the legal restrictions on selective termination of pregnancy of an affected fetus.

They describe the answer in full (incest), and then have to finish off with the fact that abortion, pardon ... "selective termination of pregnancy" has "legal restrictions."

You know, the lib journalists have to pick the ONE civilized thing that the Muslims still have right, that we discarded only a few decades ago, a prohibition on killing unborn babies, and lump it in with the abomination of incest.

Even if the child is aborted, he had Downs up until that time. (Full disclosure, my brother-in-law has Downs, we all love him dearly and our lives are fuller because he is a part of it.) It will be a sad day if we manage to "terminate" all of the imperfect before they ever see the light of day. That's even sadder than a lifestyle that needlessly increases these sad defects.

I find it interesting that the excerpt doesn't mention the problem of polygamy. One guy with four wives in a modest village can make half cousins and half siblings by the boatload.

One must have a certain retardation to follow a culture of death, hide behind woman and children, kill innocents, and send their children off to die. Yes that gene pool has been compromised and must be erraditcated.

Good way to get lots of

[Leftism is Mentally Deranged]

Oh, that explains the
Bombing trains. Bombing buses. Bombing planes. Flying planes into buildings.
Slicing heads off while singing religious hymns.
Dragging bodies through streets.
Using "charities" to pass money to terrorists. The Sears Tower Plot. Slavery in Sudan,
Killing converts to Christianity. Cutting your head off if you don't convert.
Torturing and killing kids in a school. Nicholas Berg. Daniel Pearl. Margaret Hassan. Paul Johnson.
Calling for the death of the Pope. Rioting over cartoons.

LMAO that's a good one!

[UnklGene]

Is this the one?

[Gorzaloon]

Too Funny, but we knew this from their behaviour.

That's how they breed mullahs.

[Niuhuru]

Until Daddy shoots the Muslim. Or arranges and 'accident.'

[bannie]

When sex becomes the violent act that it is in a nation which abhores its women, what can you expect?

[Dinah Lord]

the table you req'd the link for is included in the bmj article cited.

[freeangel]

A religion that endorses pedophilia has a problem with incest and genes? What a surprise--NOT.

[Lady Jag]

Due to their typical tribal inbreeding, A Kurd
family's offspring can only walk on all fours.
Studies of this and other inbreeding anomalies
are being conducted throughout the Mideast.

[AdmSmith]

This is probably the reason for the decline of the Arab world.

[Candor7]

This article is absolutely racist, politically incorrect, and highly improper, racism disguised as logic.

The family that lays together, stays together?

Or more bluntly:

ARABS, ALL YOUR WOMAN ARE BELONG TO US!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[From many - one.]

Thanks. Should have realized.

[olde north church]

I wonder how many folks who commented here knew marriage between first cousins is allowed in 37 or 38 of 50 American states?

[AdmSmith]

Not many, but it is a difference of being allowed and being the general norm.

[olde north church]

Sorry, correct number is 26 states where cousins are allowed to marry.
