The daughter of the Sultan of Brunei has tied the knot with her first cousin in an extravagant ceremony at her father’s Palace.

Princess Azemah and her new husband, Prince Bahar ibni Jefri Bolkiah, kicked off their week of wedding celebrations in the independent sultanate on the island of Borneo in Southeast Asia on January 8.

Prince Bahar is the son of the sultan’s brother, Prince Jefri Bolkiah.

Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah is not only Brunei’s absolute monarch and supreme leader of the Islamic faith, but also the country’s prime minister, finance minister, foreign affairs and trade minister, superintendent of police, defense minister and commander of the armed forces, and even chancellor of the national university.

Straight out of Gilbert and Sullivan.

How many generations does it take to breed themselves out of existence? It’s got to be more than we can count, as they’ve been inbreeding for centuries already.

We raise hunting dogs for fun and little profit. We know not to breed this closely.

Ick.

Did you know that Great Britain has so many Islamic children with mental
retardation that their socialist medical system is being crushed under it? It’s true. (You won’t hear about it much) It is the direct result of generations of “cousin” marriages. (Both bride and groom) First cousin marriage doubles risk of birth defects in children. It’s what can happen when 33% of the Pakistanis and other middle eastern migrants continue to inbreed. Disgusting tradition.

Back in Pakistan the motivator is keeping land and other property in one family. In GB, I can’t imagine why the custom would be maintained.

Why should the House of Windsor have the monopoly on inbreeding.

Go back far enough and everyone is descended from first cousin marriages from back before trains were invented and most people didn’t travel much further than 10 miles from where they were born.
