Cousin marriage isn't common in the Bible and wasn't common in the west until relatively lately? Jerry Lee Lewis married his thirteen year old cousin
Abstract
Inbreeding or consanguineous marriage is a common traditional practice in Middle Eastern cultures. Studies from various countries and communities of this region showed that the frequencies range from 20% to greater than 70%. Inbreeding is known to have adverse effects on morbidity and mortality, in particular with respect to autosomal recessive disorders.
Within the Middle Eastern group, autosomal recessive disorders were more than twice as common in the inbred than in the non-inbred families, the pattern of which is consistent with previous observations.
More than twice as common is probably less likely to have defect than with a woman waiting until her 30's to have children, increasingly common in the west
Reads like something from a fantasy novel.
Why does the Quran allow and even support this sort of behavior? This is all standard fiqh.
>About 40 percent of the population marries a cousin in Egypt, according to a 2016 report in The Economist, while the percentage in Jordan is 32 percent.
>Many Arab countries display some of the highest rates of consanguineous marriages in the world, and specifically first cousin marriages which may reach 25-30% of all marriages. In some countries like Qatar, Yemen, and UAE, consanguinity rates are increasing in the current generation.
>A 2005 BBC survey found that 55 percent of Britain’s huge Pakistani population was married to a first cousin.
>A 38-year-old Egyptian woman with two sons suffering from micro-syndrome, for example, explained to the Economist how she was criticized by relatives for allowing her teenage daughter to marry “a stranger” instead of a family member.
>Honor killings, such as this 21-year-old Kurdish woman in Germany who was gunned down at a wedding after declining an arranged marriage with her cousin, are rare. But they demonstrate the emphasis Islamic culture places on “keeping it in the family.”

>Why does the Quran allow and even support this sort of behavior?
So does the Bible and in fact most western states still do., but they especially dud before secularization
Honor killing is not allowed by the Qur'an, criminals are entitled to due process and refusing a marriage is not a criminal offense in Shari'ah
Are you a Muslim?
As to your question as to why Muslims don't just permit but often prefer cousin marriage is because when choising a spouss, knowing all about them and their family leaves less uncertainty about their character and the liklihood of divorce
Yeah
Judging by the public’s reaction- no it wasn’t common or normal.
If I was a theist I would surely choose Islam over Christianity.
If you actually read the article, you'd see it varies significantly by region.
That reaction was over the age difference more than the kinship
reads like rupi kaur desu
You have no taste desu
Tell me this, what's the actual intended convincing factor by God about Quran's truthness that applies to all times and places? Linguistic beauty can't be it, right? Since only Arabs are gonna understand.
Go back to your homeland. Islam does not belong in the West.
What criterion would satisfy you?
Islam belongs everywhere, even jinn need it
A criterion that applies to all times?
>(Then)
>(One)
There is none, different men are convinced by different things, that was part of Hume's analysis. The Quran employs a multitude of criteria, read it and you will likely discover the one which speaks to you
He was a writer, he had autism about putting those in his translation unfortunately.
That's disgusting.

Why do all Boomer terms for Muslims sound like grade schoolers came up with them?
It's not though. Only the Book of Mormon is worse. It's composition is nonsensical, what is an isn't abrogated is fucking retarded. The seemingly random splicing of Medina chapters between Meccan chapters causes significant theological whiplash in a what that just isn't present in the New Testament. Reading the Quran multiple times over the course of four semesters made me with I didn't do a Middle Eastern studies minor.

The first good English translation of Quran appeared in 1800s, 1200 years after Quran's revelation. For most of history, it remained translated on one or two languages and between a miniscule number of people. How does this make sense to you that God would reveal a book for all humanity, but there would be no means for the book to reach even 20% population of the world for 1200 years?
The translated quaran isn't The Book, and all the population need to learn Arab to understand God.
You still can't read the Quaran, but you'll learn arab like the rest of the world
The Quran wasn’t revealed, it was fabricated.

Winning The Information War and You
This is sort of like saying how can Christianity be true when the Bible was only in Latin for so long
Hatred of evil, the desire to lead a good life and the admission of one's ignorance (cf 20:114-115) and smallness in the world (cf 40:57).
BAsed
same goes for judaism or christianity or zorastrism and so on. why was the new testament not translated into indian language or mesoamericano?
