  1. Devastating the NHS. We need to close our boarders and we need to stop this happening. Inbreeding is illegal in the UK. If the police could be useful for once it could end this continuing.

  2. Even tho as an Arab I disagree with inbreeding. Even the prophet peace be upon him encouraged to marry outside. But this is a lie. Most people I know are married to their cousins and their offspring are totally fine. I think that this is a very rare consequence.

  3. This must mostly have to do with religion. The Prophet married his cousin. He is the best example for humankind and someone Muslims should aspire to and copy. So if he married his cousin and Islam allows it, it must be fine. When in reality we know it’s not good. So God allowed a practice that actively harms us and his followers. That thinking and its implications would cause a lot of cognitive dissonance and internal turmoil…I don’t see how this gets fixed until this is acknowledged

  4. Religion and culture has removed critical thinking skills. Rather than acknowledge reality, they bury their head in the sand and focus on feeling attacked and victimized. Attacking people telling the truth to make themselves feel better. At the expense of their children and their entire lives. So sad 😢

  5. My uncle and mom's brother had Autism, Mental Retardation, and Cerebral Palsey. None of it was caused by inbreeding of course. I just say this because my grandparents would have given absolutely anything for him to have been able to be healthy and lead a normal life. ANYTHING. My grandmother gave up her career and most of her life to take care of him for 40+ years. This makes me sick.

  6. not about to know about the thing – what might cause all this disabilities by marry your frist cousin is one thing – but to learn and to know about the causes , problems , consequenzes etc. about marry your first cousin and then continue to marry first cousins is just stupid or no? What kind of life do these siblings ever have? Nothing – they are blind, deaf, disabeled and never be able to have a normal happy life only because their ignorant parents and the "tradition" of to marry your first cousin……so sad………because it is prevantable……..for many cenutries they did not know of the consequences – but now they know and nothing changed in their beliefs and doings……..

  7. To all egoistic jerks who marry their relatives (and force their kids to do the same): thank you very much for giving religious fanatics reasons to say that disabilities and genetic disorders are "a punishment form God"!! 😡😡😡😡😡
