Why are inbreeding and incest so widespread among Muslims?
Arab MK Hanin Zouabi demanded that Israel pay for genetic tests for Arabs, to determine if they could marry each other without risk of genetic deformities. In a letter to Deputy Health Minister Yaakov Litzman and Professor Eli Be'er, chairman of the Ministry's Health Basket Public Committee, Zouabi wrote that the expensive tests were necessary because of the widespread Arab practice of marrying close family members. Numerous scientific studies have shown that inbreeding, rampant in the Muslim world, has led to a much higher percentage of birth defects than in the West. A British study several years ago said that 30% of Britain's birth defects were in the country's Pakistani community. Another thing I do not understand is why Israel must pay for Arab incest and inbreeding.
A question concerning Fil-Am in the US...?
i totally agree with you. nung dumating kami dito ng mga anak ko 2 years ago, my husband'c cousin told me that his kids had forgotten how to speak tagalog in less than a year and so, he told me that my kids will be the same. ngayon, 2 years na kami pero tagalog pa rin kami mag-usap ng mga anak ko kasi hindi ko sila kinakausap ng english. and i told them that i expect my grandchildren to also speak to me in english even if they married someone from a different race. i believe that we, as individuals should never forget our heritage, the country that we belong to - i don't have white skin, my hair is black and pango ang ilong ko - i absolutely look like a filipino, bakit ko kakalimutan ang nag-iisang bahagi ng pilipinas na pwedeng kong dalhin kahit saan ako magpunta? i always remember what Dr. Jose Rizal said,"ang hindi magmahal sa sariling wika ay higit pa sa mabaho at malansang isda." i am a filipino and i am very proud of it. i love my country and the only thing i can share with my kids that's from the philippines is the tagalog language, i will not take that away from my kids. besides, kung yun ngang mga mexicans dito hindi nagsasalita ng english pero nakaka-survive, how much more tayong mga pilipino? ibig bang sabihin nito, mas magaling ang mga mexicans kesa sa mga pilipino kasi kahit dito sila ipinanganak sa amerika at hindi sila nagsasalita ng english, nabubuhay pa rin sila ng maayos? aba! di hamak namang mas magaling at matalino ang mga pilipino! mas madiskarte tayo at magaling mag-adapt. and i just want to add, to those parents who are not teaching your kids our native language, Shame on you! your kids will never learn how to love their own language. they think that simply looking like a filipino makes them filipinos, too. absolutely wrong - you need to speak like a filipino, act like a filipino, and love the philippines with all your heart in order to be a filipino. it is a privilege, not a hand-me-down.
