    Cousin marriages are encouraged in islam. This leads to genetic defects in offspring and possibly harming their mental development. Obviously that would affect IQ levels.

    Muslim marriages are often arranged compared those in the west. So even though the woman in such a marriage might have a high IQ she does not have a say in what genes are past onto her offspring. Natural selection is more impeded.

    Lower IQ is like a vicious circle in that it leads to lower employability and lower earnings if they do get a job. So they have less resources to deal with the problems that come from having a lower IQ.

    There are 1.5 billion muslims globally. A high proportion of them is African or Asian. African Christians aren't the sharpest, either.

    I totally agree with you! It has nothing to do with Genetics or whatever, as some stupid people can claim in that forum.
    It's due to education.
    Did you know that the language that's used for teaching (Classical Arabic) isn't the maternal-tongue of 99,9% of the people in those countries ? Neo-Arabic varieties (improperly called dialects) aren't used for teaching, for working, for reading.... It's equivalent to the situation in Southern Europe until the XVth century when the Romances "dialects" were just spoken and not used for intellectual purposes.
    If you learn, think, write from your maternal languages, things get much logical and easier.
    And indeed, Islam is enormous obstacle as it says the Classical Arabic is "THE LANGUAGE", unlike the Neo-Arabic dialects that are unfairly disregarded.
    It's very true in the case of Morocco where the Neo-Arabic spoken is distinct from Classical Arabic....

    Poverty and malnutrition as well as evolutionary processes of genetic intelligence such as the 'cold climate theory'.

    Exactly. Thank you ! It has absolutely nothing do to with Genetics as some people try to claim here.

    Islam probably does have an effect but it is far from the sole factor. Muslim countries don't have a significantly lower (or even really lower) IQ than their non-Muslim neighbors. Compare Turkey to Georgia or Pakistan to India.

    Lol brain drain doesn't mean shit. The average European (in ANY country) is far smarter than the average Muslim in their country... note that we are talking about AVERAGE, which is the majority among them.
