LFG: Muslims Want Special Treatment from UK Health Service.
That's cute because we all know the big health issue with UK Muslims is the lack of gender apartheid in hospitals.
A small "health service" suggestion to Muslims in the UK: Stop marrying your cousins.
The practice remains so popular because the community believes there are real benefits to marrying in the family. Many British Pakistanis celebrate cousin marriage because it is thought to generate more stable relationships.
Right. You see, it's mostly the infidels who are missing out -- they'll never get to experience the joy and stability of having a grandson who is also their grandnephew.
In addition, the infidels also miss out on this special treatment from Allah:
British Pakistanis are 13 times more likely to have children with genetic disorders than the general population - they account for just over 3% of all births but have just under a third of all British children with such illnesses.
The reaction of the UK Muslim community?
According to Ann Cryer MP, whose Keighley constituency has a large Pakistani population, much of the Pakistani community is in denial about the problem.
There is a strong religious reason for this: the wretched Muhammad married his daughter, Fatima, to his cousin, Ali. To acknowledge the odiousness of such marriages would be to implicitly say that Muhammad was in the wrong.
Oh yes, the tentacles of Islam run deep.
Update
The BBC asked for personal views on cousin marriages. A few gems:
- "Provided that both cousins consent to marry, there is no harm." Javaid, Oldham
- "If people still do not take this on board than at the end of the day it is the choice of the individual and who are we to judge? Yes, this is a great strain on the NHS but can also adversely affect actual lives as we saw in the film. But the same can be said for sexual promiscuity, so then should we start putting a ban on the number of partners people sleep with?" Sal, London
- "Cousins are free to marry each other by Islamic law. It is patronising to be told now who one should and should not marry." Farzana, UK
- "Islam has the solution to all the dilemmas of modern society if we actually look at the scriptures rather than the practices of the wayward colonised masses." Omar Ali, Jeddah/UK
