MUSLIM INBREEDING

On August 25, 2007, here at The Astute Bloggers, Reliapundit posted information about Muslim inbreeding. The warnings as to the dangers of such inbreeding were clear in that posting and backed up by scientific data!

Now (Too late?) the UK is issuing an official warning about Muslim inbreeding. According to this February 10, 2008 article in the Times Online,

A government minister has warned that inbreeding among immigrants is causing a surge in birth defects - comments likely to spark a new row over the place of Muslims in British society.

Phil Woolas, an environment minister, said the culture of arranged marriages between first cousins was the “elephant in the room”. Woolas, a former race relations minister, said: “If you have a child with your cousin the likelihood is there’ll be a genetic problem.”

The minister, whose views were supported by medical experts this weekend, said: “The issue we need to debate is first cousin marriages, whereby a lot of arranged marriages are with first cousins, and that produces lots of genetic problems in terms of disability [in children].”

Woolas emphasised the practice did not extend to all Muslim communities but was confined mainly to families originating from rural Pakistan. However, up to half of all marriages within these communities are estimated to involve first cousins.

Medical research suggests that while British Pakistanis are responsible for 3% of all births, they account for one in three British children born with genetic illnesses....

I have some firsthand knowledge of the dangers of inbreeding. The maternal side of my family hails from East Tennessee, an area of the United States with a high percentage of inbreeding since the area was settled. When my mother was growing up, she saw evidence every day of the dangers of inbreeding. To the credit of my mother's family for many generations, members traveled to find their spouses, so as to avoid the results of first cousin to first cousin breeding. Spouses from the outside were not as easily acceptable by the hillbilly clans, but the result was not one since instance of genetic defect in the family!

Outside of my family, of course, I've seen for myself the offspring of such close inbreeding. Case in point, one of my mother's brilliant teachers had two severely retarded brothers, for whom that teacher had to care for her entire life. "The Boys," her older brothers and her only siblings, lived in a cabin next to her house in a small town in East Tennessee. Miss H managed to outlive "The Boys." Barely. And she was smart enough not to produce offspring herself. She knew the scientific data! She also knew the burden of bearing bad genes.

Today many Western societies, even that backwoods area of the East Tennesse hills from which my mother's family hailed, have legislation preventing first cousin to first cousin inbreeding. I don't know about the UK's legislation in that regard. After all, the "blueblood" idea still prevails in the upper echelons of British society.

Story after story out of the British press indicates that financial burden on the UK's national health care system is being increased by all sorts of causes, too many of them related to the plethora of Muslim immigrants, who jump right onto the rolls of free healthcare. The NHS is going to have a difficult time supporting one in three children with genetic defects--preventable genetic defects.

We have a lot of Muslim Pakistani immigrants here in the United States. How many of THEM are practicing the same inbreeding?

RELIAPUNDIT ADDS: GREAT POST AOW: GLAD WE'RE STAYING UP ON THIS ISSUE - WHICH I HAVE BLOGGED ON MANY TIMES - FIRST HERE - WAY BACK ON 8/18/2005 - YEAH, THREE (3) YEARS AGO!):

ARAB MUSLIMS AND ENDOGAMOUS MATRIMONY

The Arabs prefer endogamous matrimony -- that's marriage with first cousins or second cousins. (In fact, refusal to marry cousins (or regret at having done so) is one common reason that many Arab Muslim women become victims of "honor killing.")

In most societies - thoughout all of human history, most people think that the "in-law" relationship is the most troublesome in their lives; (it's one of the most popular and enduring sources of humor; America's most popular TV comedy in decades - EVERYBODY LOVES RAYMOND - was based on it). WELL: Because of the preference and prevalence of endogamous matrimony many Arabs are so inter-married that NOT ONLY are they everybody's in-laws, every Arab is his own in-law! No wonder they're so effin' nuts! Heh!

SERIOUSLY: More HERE on how Arab endogamous matrimony is a type of in-breeding which is leading the Arab Muslim "gene pool" to become dominated by defects and disease.
