I think the Muslim case is a special one because not only do they allow 1st cousin marriage, the actively encourage it. The only men that a woman is allowed to have normal interaction with that she can marry are her cousins, uncles, etc, so it’s a natural outgrowth of their restrictions on women. In a normal society, where the practice was simply allowed, but not encouraged, you probably wouldn’t see the kinds of recessive accumulation you do in the Muslim world.
