Archiving the “strange death of Europe,” as Douglas Murray put it, and the West more broadly, at the hands of the neoliberal technocracy.
UK migrant MP: Cousin marriage ban is culturally insensitive
Iqbal Mohamed, who somehow is allowed to serve in British parliament, explains his opposition to a proposed British ban on cousin marriage on the grounds that it’s a “highly insensitive issue for many people” — “many people” meaning “non-British migrants like me.”
The way to redress the issue is not to empower the state to ban adults from marrying each other, not least because I do not think such measures would be effective or enforceable. Instead, the matter needs to be approached as a health awareness issue and, where women are being forced against their will to undergo marriage, as a cultural awareness issue. In doing so, it is important to recognise that this is a highly sensitive issue for many people. In discussing it, we should try to step into the shoes of those who perhaps are not from the same culture as ours, to better understand why the practice continues to be so widespread.
An estimated 35% to 50% of all sub-Saharan African populations either prefer or accept cousin marriage, and it is extremely common in the middle east and south Asia. The reason the practice is so common is that ordinary people see family intermarriage as something that is very positive overall; as something that helps to build family bonds and puts families on a more secure financial foothold.
However, as is well documented, it is not without health risks for the children of those relationships, some of whom will be born out of wedlock. Instead of stigmatising those who are in cousin marriages, or those who are inclined to be, a much more positive approach would be to facilitate advanced genetic test screening for prospective married couples, as is the case in all Arab countries in the Persian gulf, and to run health education programmes targeting those communities where the practice is most common.
I therefore urge the House to vote against the motion and to find a more positive approach to addressing the issues that are caused by first-cousin marriage, including the health risks, and the consequences of modern conflicts and displacement of populations around the world.*
*While I oppose most foreign wars, most particularly those disastrous ones in the Middle East and North Africa over the last several years, blaming them for cousin marriage in the UK strains all credulity. We all know the insinuation here: the phenomenon of Arabs, Africans, and subcontinentals marrying their family members is the evil white man’s fault, because literally everything bad that ever happens in the world, by definition, is.
If not for the 2003 Iraq war, nary a single Afghan in the West Midlands would lay a finger on his cousin!

‘What does being British mean to you?’
This conversation couldn’t have gone any worse for the replacement migration proponents, or any more sweetly for connoisseurs of that distinctly British form of dry humor.

In an apparent attempt to sell the natives on the proposition that migrants are actually British, the BBC asked a migrant woman — presumably a woman; let’s not assume gender, especially when there’s not an ounce of flesh visible from behind the niqab — what it means to be British.
“I don’t understand English,” the niqabed migrant replies.
