You should know by now that this is how I see xenophobic racist views. Did you actually think that I care about such an opinion?
I'm not the one who is xenophobic but Muslims are xenophobic to the point that they are willing to have seriously sick children and then grown people who suffer their whole lives, just so that they wouldn't have to marry people of other Muslim denominations, not to mention other religions.
From wikipedia
Quote:Traditionally, in Saudi Arabia (and other Gulf countries), families arrange marriages with the tribe or family's considerations in mind, rather than Western/modern ideas of romantic love and self-identity. Sons and daughters have been encouraged to "marry cousins or other relatives in order to increase and strengthen" the extended family or tribe, "or occasionally to marry into another tribe in order to heal rifts". At least in the 1990s, most marriages in Saudi were "consanguineous"—i.e. between close relatives—sometimes a second cousin but usually a first cousin and marriage between cousins in Saudi is among the highest rate in the world. The practice has been cited as a factor in higher rates of Type 2 diabetes, (which affects about 32% of adult Saudis), hypertension, (which affects 33%), and higher rates of severe genetic diseases like cystic fibrosis or a blood disorder, thalassemia, sickle cell anemia, spinal muscular atrophy, deafness and muteness. As a consequence of frequent consanguineous marriage, genetic counseling is a growing field in Saudi Arabia.[Genetic counseling! Forget about that. Why don't you go to Israel and marry some Jews there? Oh yeah, you are xenophobic]
Traditionally men having more than one wife (polygyny) was "fairly common"

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
