I mean I assume we are, insofar as Pakistan's inbreeding rate differs quite a bit from other muslim countries, never mind internally (inbreeding among urban residents is estimated as low as 34%).Ostroeuropa wrote:Kubra wrote: Spurious and unfounded claims that carried them through both state and municipal elections despite not really being a party, just a loose collection of cranks.
yeah, pakistani immigrants have a weird inbreeding habit, and it's good to see us getting out of the muslim thing. They're estimated to be around 38-40% consanguineous in 2014, less than the reported rate in pakistan proper (around 60%) and down from a 2005 estimate of 55%.
Now, you see that's a difference of between 6%-17%. This is what I get at when I talk about generation, bruv.
I disagree that we're getting away from the "muslim" thing. Religiosity in general is a vehicle for justifying backwards traditions even if they aren't necessarily founded in the religion, as the religion provides the tools and training to just enforce and accept that kind of thing.
The inbreeding issue is one that has improved, but not to a degree i'm comfortable with. I think the practice needs to be banned, along with circumcision and a few other things, but one issue that has gotten worse over generations is the homophobia. UK muslims descended from immigrants are more homophobic than immigrant ones.
There's nothing in the quran or any hadith that mandates getting married to your cousin, bruv. Most muslims, you know, don't. Pakistans do, but in the cities where someone might tell them "marrying your cousin is going to fuck up your kids" they do so at quite a different rate.
Certainly, that is the case. The irish, remember the draft riots? 2nd gen still resembles 1st gen, sometimes they intensify in some categories. But hey, babies pop out, have some hanky panky at a boarding school, and the distance between son and father and great grandfather and so on seem's to expand.
I mean come now, do you come from a long line of radical whigs or something?
