Why Inbreeding is Still Popular in Middle East and South Asia?

Well known historical inbreeding :

Just curious, but do you have any idea where the data for that map came from?

My family is very mixed from many cultures but i'm not against inbreeding, why would I be against it? neither my religion nor my culture forbids it, plus it preserve the bloodline.

Because it produces genetic defects.

The most common marriage amongst Pakis in the UK is between first cousins. They are 3.6% of the population yet account for 40% of serious birth malformations. The situation is similar in Iraq, 50%+ inbreeding, but there the deformities are conveniently blamed on "depleted uranium." Statistically most birth defects and genetic abnormalities found within Britian are found within the Pakistani community because they are the results of multi-generational cousin fucking, everyone's in-laws are cousins and everyone shares the same grandparents who were also cousins, whose grandparents were also cousins.



There's a solid reason for not wanting them to migrate into your country (other than all the other reasons of course): they up the costs of healthcare by shitting out inbreds in need of intensive care for the rest of their lives.

Sound like this map is bullshitt. For example Iceland. But my answer is hillbill mindset, tribalism and traditions and of course isolation of a small population, like in Iceland.

Consanguinity in Ireland was extremely low because it was banned by the Catholic Church so I doubt that map is very accurate and I'd like to see links to see where the information is from.

J.G. Masterson studied the rate of first-cousin dispensations amongst Catholics in Ireland from 1959-1968. He found a rate of 1 in 720 for the entire island, and 1 in 625 for the Republic. That is less than 0.2%. Masterson also quotes a study from 1883 that simply asked people if they were the children of first cousins. A little less than 0.6% said that they were. I imagine that the falling trend over a hundred years was partly due to decreasing isolation of local populations (i.e. easier to travel).

So we can say in general that first cousin marriages are historically low amongst our Irish ancestors within the last hundred years.

So map doesn't correspond to research at least as far as Ireland goes. A lot of maps are very dubious.

It was banned also in Finland. Priests checked all possible issues from church registers. But Iceland is a diffetent case.
