Then he's no Muslim, bruv.

 

Rules of Islam say different

Rules of vegetarianism is no meat, regardless of what your mates think

Are you atheist or theist depending on who you are with?

 

Some people mistake a belief in A god, with a belief in their particular religion.

If someone believes in the existence of A god or gods, they are theists, someone lacking that belief is atheist. Which flavour of god, or how accurately you think they follow some book, is irrelevant.

 

“Saying something is true because a lot of people believe it to be true is an argument from popularity, which is the logical equivalent of saying ‘Eat ****! 20 trillion flies can’t be wrong!’”

 

following a crowd (albeit a very large one) ??

 

70% of British Pakistani's marry their own cousins according to a show I'm watching.

WTF

 

What's the show?

 

Keep it in the family.

 

It's called 'Should I marry my cousin' on BBC catch up.

 

30% of disabled kids born in the UK are Pakistani/British-Pakistani.

They're linking this unusually high stat to them shagging their own family members.

 

Tenuous link when the data us explored

 

I will try and watch it online, sounds interesting.

usually flawed data and understanding

 

1. Ratio of UK born disabled (Pakistani / non) = 30 : 70 .
2. Ratio of UK ethnic populations (Pakistani / non) *** = 2 : 98.

Metric of 1 / 2 (Pakistani / non) = 30 / 2 : 70 / 98 = 15 : 5/7 = 21 : 1.

For any UK ethnic group to be 21 times as likely to produce disabled children
as the collective others, is a big concern.


*** in 2011 according to the ONS : https://www.ons.gov.uk/ons/dcp171776_290558.pdf

 

Have you 'explored' the data?

 

Exactly. Should be banned. It's disgusting.

 

Cannot say what the causes are (the two primary causes of human infirmities are
usually congenital or environmental) , but the crude metric sets alarm bells ringing.
If the other 70% was solely an affliction of the UK "white British" population, the
metric is still greater than 17 : 1.

 

Yeah, my masters is in health (WHO understanding of health)

In a nutshell ( non of this is exact figs etc just painting a picture) there was a 70's study in Bradford and the figure increase was something daft like 0.01 or equally irrelevant really.

Further analysis shows it was just as likely to be lack of healthcare for the mother as a youngster or even mistreatment of illness due to poverty etc

Even the cousin thing is incorrect because many kids who came over are not really the kids of those who bought them over.

Also as I found out with my kid, my wife is white English, the rates of disability being high are just as likely to be because we refused to abort. Something Asians understanding is different on

EDIT: its interesting that the risk of disabled babies to women over 34 is much much higher. This is across the board and Asian women were always more likely to continue having babies into later life. Work and life means more non Asian women are having kids later now.

 

They showed a massive reduction for Ashkenazi Jewish people who had previously dealt with similar problems but were taking measures to avoid breeding with incompatible DNA.

 

It's God's way of telling Pakistanis to **** off.
