  1. Ref: "Honor killing": Quran 31: 37  "Allah commanded Muhammad to marry his cousin  Zaynab. ..." Many children from these cousin marriages either dies in infancy or develops a serious life-threatening disability. These include blindness, deafness, blood ailments such as sickle cell anaemia, heart or kidney failure, lung or liver problems and myriad complex neurological or brain disorders. Even their healthy children have a one in four chance of being a carrier of a defect, with terrible implications for the next generation. The problem is most serious in Bradford. A recent survey of 1,100 pregnant women in the city showed that 70 per cent have husbands who are first cousins — a higher percentage than the average of 50 per cent among Pakistani Muslims across the whole of Britain. Every person carries some abnormal genes, but most people don’t have a defect because their unrelated parents passed on a normal gene which overrules the abnormal one. Obviously a close relative parent  will have the same abnormal gene meaning no normal gene to override the abnormal one Islamic Clerics teach Muslims to regard commands from Allah to Mohammed as Written in the Quran commands to all Muslims which is allegedly why it is considered honour killing to kill daughters who refuse cousin marriage. Intelligent daughters not wanting the high risk of children being born with genetic diseases? Love is nature's way of guiding us to a suitable partner as the ‘chemistry’ happens when people have different strengths resulting in strong & intelligent children with loving happy parents.
