Given the current debate on global warming one would assume anybody with the title of Environment Minister would be suspect to faulty logic. Phil Woolas, a Labour Member and Minister of State in the Department of Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, belies that assertion with facts in linking British Muslims, and their propensity for marrying first cousins, to birth defects.
The linked articles states that “Medical research suggests that while British Pakistanis are responsible for 3% of all births, they account for one in three British children born with genetic illnesses.” Although the article only references British Pakistanis, the practice of first-cousin marriages is widespread in other Muslim communities as well with associated problems.
