#7 In a clan-based society that knows squat about molecular genetics, it makes sense to marry your cousin. It keeps wealth in the family and does not drag you in to other people's alliances and feuds.

#8 #4 Any agricultural society - which involves animal husbandry - has enough grasp of genetics to know that first cousin matings are bad.

#11 Sue Reid writes about the subject periodically for the Daily Mail. Here is one of her articles, from 2018.

The other issue, besides the human tragedy of it all, is that the British taxpayer is paying for the increasingly expensive health care for these children, siphoning off funds and medical staff that otherwise would be used for the rest of the population. This is just another form of jizya as far as the devout are concerned, instead of the host nation insisting that either close cousin marriages are forbidden altogether due to to the risk, or only allowing those whom genetic testing shows to be low risk for reinforcing dangerous recessives.

#14 Western compulsions to impose humanity on the sub-human. Preventing muslim self-erasure by vaccinating them, educating them, feeling sorry for them and whining about ohh my gawd the babies... sob!

For fcuk's sake, let Darwin win and see that life is good.
