| #4 Yee gods! This could go a long way towards explaining what is, to us, irrational and psychopathic behavior amongst the normal population and the embracement of a fascistic pseudo-religious death cult which blames everything wrong with their own society on anyone else. That's not excuse for the Islamonazi's, but it sure could go a long way towards explaining it to westerners. |

| #3 John that's why I advocate scrapping "disability benefit" and getting families to purchase pre-birth insurance. |

| #2 IIRC, I've read here in RB, many moons ago, that 70% of soodi newly-wed are blood-related (this was in an article about the gvt willing to regulate this); also, from a separate article, the jordanian % is 50%, more or less the average in the region. Don't know about north africans, though extended families of "cousins" (french arab "cousin" greeting = african american "brother" are common too). Some chlorine in the gene pool wouldn't hurt. |

| #1 In Pakistan, however, some 60 per cent of marriages are between first cousins; the frequency in Bradford and Leeds is thought to be comparable. The result is that clinical genetics units serving the British Pakistani community see a range and frequency of genetic disorders unknown elsewhere in the country. 60 percent... Gawd... |
