No wonder zero islamic dominated countrys don't even record occasions of incest or child abuse.. there are no records.. Seems that only judeo-christian countrys even care about incest.. Must stem from women in those countrys being merely chattel possessions.. same with the kids.. Albeit horses are treated quite well..

After reading the article, see the chart in Post #6 for the average rates of marriages between first cousins among Arabs. Oy vey!

Now we know "the rest of the story". A'rabs are not suffering from an inferiority complex. They actually are inferior.

High consanguinity rates 25-60% of all marriages are consanguineous, and the rate of first cousin marriages is high.

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.

Amazing. They are breeding themselves into oblivion.

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.

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.

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.

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

[freeangel]

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

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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

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

[Enchante]

When you're already accustomed to "mating" with goats, sheep, and camels, any human first cousin must seem like Miss Universe. What's a little incest among consenting tribesmen??

[olde north church]

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 Down's Syndrome has nothing to do with an over-50 mother being married to a cousin, it has to do with the age of the eggs. Correlation IS NOT causation.

There is also a reduction in Down's Syndrome babies in America because of abortion.

The 1.2-1.7/1000 births is also within range of the Hardy-Weinberg hypothesis of 1.7 mutation rate of each chromosomal synapse during fetal development.

The whole concept behind this article/study is flawed. I don't believe you people have picked it up. This article has been written to support abortion!
