BRITS: MUSLIM INTERMARRIAGES UNHEALTHY

Brit Government Minister Phil Woolas, MP for Oldham, stirred up things by stating that when Muslims marry within their own, they often bring unhealthy children into the world. It’s cousin marrying cousin in particular per the Daily Mail.

Britain has many Pakistani and Bangladesh Muslims who intermarry. Woolas called the situation “the elephant in the room.”

Ann Cryer, the Labour MP for Keighley in Yorkshire, agreed. She states that cousin marriages are “medieval and designed to keep wealth within families.”

“’The problems provoked are not fair to the children or to the NHS. If you go into a pediatric ward in Bradford or Keighley, you will find more than half of the kids are from the Asian community,’ continued Mrs Cryer.

“’Since Asians form only 20 to 30 per cent of the population, you can see that they are over-represented.

“’There was one poor girl who had to have an oxygen tank on her back and breathe from a hole in the front of her neck.’

“’Her parents were warned they should not have any more children. But when the husband returned again from Pakistan, within months they had another child with exactly the same condition.’”

The problem is no longer hush-hush. Now medical authorities are agreeing with political leaders that Britain is faced with a most serious problem. It involves innocent offspring from Muslim couples. If Muslim nations want to live with this as they have for centuries, that’s one matter, some suggest. But to bring the Muslim problem into a non-Muslim country is quite another.

“’It is heartbreaking when grandparents are so keen cousins should marry that the family health problems continue throughout generations,’ Mrs. Cryer stated.

“’A doctor told me that one Pakistani family believed it was the will of Allah, because doctors were doing the wrong thing or the mother was a bad woman .. . this is not acceptable.’”

The government studies show that British Pakistanis are 13 times more likely to produce unhealthy children due to cousins marrying. One in ten offspring of such Muslim marriages dies as a baby or develops “a serious life-threatening disability.

“One staff sister who has worked in a Midlands children’s ward for 13 years said: ‘It is terrible to watch. Very few people in the NHS are prepared to talk about this openly. Every day, we see the sad results of blood relatives marrying.

“’The other day, a very young mother came in to give birth to her third child. Her eldest boy has already died of a neurological degenerative condition while her daughter, who suffers the same brain disorder, is getting more disabled every day.

“’When the baby girl arrived, she had problems breathing. She was not reacting like a normal newborn. The mother, who is married to her first cousin, was crying because she suspected what the future holds.

“The eldest son’s head started to be unsteady after his first birthday. By the age of two, doctors confirmed he was mentally retarded. He became paralyzed at three and just faded away.’”

Not only Britain is facing this terrible situation but other non-Muslims environs as well. When will the world community own up to what is going on so as to put a stop to cousins marrying cousins?

“While many doctors and nurses refuse to comment publicly, the debate over cousin marriages is being discussed freely on websites.

“An Asian health worker recently posted this sad message: ‘I went to two special schools on Monday. One for children with physical disabilities; one with kids who had learning difficulties.

“’The children at the second school were aged 13 to 19. None of them was capable of functioning beyond the behavior expected of an infant. They all wore nappies. They didn’t speak, a few grunts aside. All needed inordinate amounts of special care, from doctors, speech therapists, nurses, tutors and so on. The parents are drained, both financially and emotionally.

“’There were six 16-year-olds at the second school, five Pakistani and a Tamil. All had consanguineous [blood-related] ancestry. I can rest my case: cousin marriages should not be allowed.’”
