Joys of sharia, continued

My Frontier Thesis said...: This stems from early tribal traditions where power was attempted to be controlled, centralized and maintained within "blood" lines with the arrangement of marriages. European nobles also had problems in this regard. Too many cousins marrying one another, again another absurdity justified by religion (Divine Right).

Okay, now I'll go look at Berkeley, CA comment.; 2/10/2008 1:29 PM
My Frontier Thesis said...: More clarity on JJ's comment.; 2/10/2008 1:31 PM
My Frontier Thesis said...: Yeah, the Berkeley comment was right on target.; 2/10/2008 1:32 PM
Mr roT said...: You see, AI, as posts accumulate, the bottom moves...

Who cares if ancient Saxons "were immigrants" or if the (small, rich) British nobility was inbred? What do these silly debating points that have to do anything? Consanguinous marriages in the large, poor, unassimilated population of middle eastern immigrants are a real and present problem that deserves attention. Many such marriages are forced, many involve underaged girls, and many include beatings and other ill-treatment as a matter of cultural tradition and principle. As if all that weren't bad enough, now it turns out that consanguinous marriages are, predictably, causing a spike in birth defects. Yes, Islam truly is the gift that keeps on giving.

She's here. Some herbalist crystal-worshipper?; 2/10/2008 1:33 PM
Tecumseh said...: JJ: Thanks for the explanation. I thought that the comments just get tagged at the end, but I guess they cut off to an archive after a while, and only show the latest 3?

At any rate, this is a new angle on the Canterbury tales. Is this what the Archbishop would like to become common practice?; 2/10/2008 1:39 PM

Mr roT said...: I guess in this case he'd be right as to the inevitability in the UK. It's already happening. And not just in the royal family...; 2/10/2008 1:41 PM
Tecumseh said...: Figure type: solid, volumetric, womanly (and very strong) Ouchhh! What's "volumetric"?

As for the inbreeding in the Royal family -- look at Chuck. 'Nough said.; 2/10/2008 2:00 PM
Mr roT said...: volumetric means she's built like a flask. haven't you ever taken chem?; 2/10/2008 2:53 PM
Tecumseh said...: Only in high school, and basically no labs (we didn't have such stuff, just books, and chalk). Aha, I get it now -- sort of Hillary's shape?; 2/10/2008 3:03 PM
