First-cousin marriage (aka consanguineous marriage) across the Middle East and North Africa, has now made its way into Western world via migration. The practice is accepted in Islam. As usual, Keir Starmer, like other leftist leaders, makes unreasonable accommodations to Muslims, heedless of any adverse consequences to the interests of the people as a whole. “US slams Keir Starmer over refusal to ban cousin marriage as a ‘civilisational concern,’” by Conor Wilson, Express, January 12, 2026:
The White House has launched a scathing criticism of Sir Keir Starmer’s refusal to ban cousin marriage. Donald Trump’s free speech Tsar, Sarah Rogers, shared a clip of a debate in Parliament on the practice of first-cousin marriage, to illustrate concerns the US Government had previously expressed over civilisational erasure in Europe.
Responding to a video on X, Rogers said: “I’ve received some questions about what we mean, in our National Security Strategy, when we invoke ‘civilisational’ concerns. So I’m tweeting a relevant news item.” Last month, President Trump warned that Europe faces “civilisational erasure” as he questioned the reliability of the country’s longstanding allies.
The video shared by Rogers showed a Conservative MP speaking during PMQs as he warned of the health implications endured by the offspring of cousin marriages.
He said: “On Friday, this Government has a chance to let my bill go through to ban first-cousin marriage to committee stage. Will the Prime Minister think again before instructing his whips to block this legislation?”
The Prime Minister replied: “We’ve taken our position on that bill, thank you.”….

Starmer’s opponents are taking him to the woodshed:
‘It is mental we still have it here!’

Muhammad is the model for first-cousin marriage; he married his maternal cousin Zaynab bint Jahsh, and arranged the marriage of his daughter Fatima to his own cousin Ali ibn Abi Talib. The latter marriage was and is regarded among many Muslims as a “sacred bond,” as explained in the piece: The First Family: The Beautiful Marriage of Ali and Fatima, by the Yaqeen Institute for Islamic Research.
First-cousin marriage adds to a host of other problems for the West that have also been imported via mass unvetted migration, including illegal migration. While it is generally refreshing to see Starmer criticized yet again, America has some sludge to clean in its own backyard. As the Telegraph stated: “In the United States, marriage to your first cousin is completely legal in over 15 states, with more allowing it in certain circumstances. Mr Trump has not moved to ban it.” Yet Trump hasn’t opposed a ban, as has Starmer.
According to Newsweek, “First-cousin marriage remains completely legal in these 17 states: Alabama, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, New Mexico, North Carolina, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Tennessee, Vermont and Virginia.” Other states do “allow first cousins to get married in some specific circumstances.” The Tennessee legislature however, in April 2024 overwhelmingly (75-2) passed a bill in the House to ban the practice.
The Institute for Family Studies notes that America merely “tolerated first-cousin marriage in law during colonial and founding times,” but it “was never the norm” that it is in the Islamic world. But now, pressure is mounting in America and elsewhere “with increasing frequency” to legalize first cousin-marriage, due to Muslim migration. Now it’s time for change in America due to, as Sarah Rogers put it, “civilizational concern.”
Marriage between relatives such as first cousins doubles the risk of birth defects, ranging from “extra fingers or toes through to more life-threatening problems such as holes in the heart or brain development disorders.” And that’s just for starters.
Richard Holden, the Conservative MP campaigning to outlaw the practice of first-cousin marriage, warned of its “significant”impacts “on health and women’s rights.” He also “accused Labour of ‘turning a blind eye’ to cousin marriage by refusing to support his private member’s bill on the issue.”
In the UK, the Pakistani population is over 1.6 million, constituting the second-largest ethnic minority, concentrated in London, Birmingham, Bradford and Manchester. It’s no secret that members of Muslim rape gangs were disproportionately from a Pakistani background, and now that this demographic is burgeoning in numbers, so is the risk of birth defects, concomitant with the Pakistani community’s acceptance of first-cousin marriage.
An article from the Genetic Literacy Project entitled Cousin marriages: ‘If you ever want to see some fascinating genetic disorders, you should all travel to Pakistan’ notes that over 60% of the Pakistani population carries out consanguineous marriages (inbreeding, often first or second cousins). The report addresses risk of genetic abnormalities among such offspring.
The left-leaning BBC ran a report last year featuring a Birmingham Pakistani couple defending first-cousin marriage amid calls for a ban. Yet the BBC also ran another article on the very same day revealing “worrying new data” about the health of consanguineous offspring, following the largest study of its kind from the Pakistani community in Bradford. The researchers recruited 13,000 babies, where one in six children in the study had parents who are first cousins. The longitudinal study followed the children from infancy to adolescence. The data findings “caught the attention of lawmakers across Europe,” which led to Norway outlawing first-cousin marriages, with Sweden following.
Yet three months ago in Britain, the NHS pulled a “controversial” blog on first cousin marriage, despite it being “factually based,” thus displaying (again) the pervasive nervousness over offending Muslim groups — which has come to define Britain and all leftist-ruled countries.
An article from the Oxford Journal of Law and Religion, The Case for Banning Cousin Marriage, sums up nicely the cumulative case for banning first-cousin marriage, and concludes:
Thus, having given full consideration to the medical, social, and geopolitical context of cousin marriage, we can finally answer the documentary-makers’ questions posed at the beginning of this article:
- Should one marry one’s cousin? No.
- Should others be allowed to marry their cousin? No.
- Should we abolish stigmas and laws against cousin marriage? No.
- Is cousin marriage really that bad? Yes.
- Can we ban cousin marriage? Yes.
- Should we ban cousin marriage? Yes.
Keir Starmer has proven himself unwilling to stop the steady flow of mostly Muslim illegals invading Britain via the English Channel; how can anyone expect any backbone from Starmer in standing up to an accepted Islamic practice, and one which Muhammad himself modeled? Starmer has already sold out Britain to dhimmitude.
Of his own accord, Starmer will likely do nothing, but public pressure sometimes budges the hardest cases. In the meantime, let’s hope, too, that America gets more serious in confronting this “civilizational concern” of inbreeding among the states where consanguineous marriages are still legal.
Someone needs to explain to “Starmer” that fucking your cousin makes for funny talking autistic kids. Proof Starmer lacks balls
So true, Stalin Starmer lacks balls, why ? Because he is a prostitute for Islamic votes to keep him in POWER.
Let’s hope he’s not trying to serve as an example of this practice. Is he married? Any children? Sounds like his brain is on hold perhaps b/c of campaign contributions from certain groups;-(
There are LDS (Mormon) communities in some towns in S Utah and in other remote areas where the polygamous lifestyle has led to unfortunate examples of rare birth defects appearing b/c of these sorts of too-close relationships. Doctors who care for these people recognize the situation and don’t make a fuss, allowing the unhappy situation to continue. So what Starmer is doing in GB is trying to decrease the brain functionality of British citizens, whatever their religion! Sounds like a plan.
Stalin Starmer is married to a Jewish lady.
First Cousin marriage increases the risk of producing a retarded child by 300%, Over a thousand years of Islam has lowered the average IQ in rural Afghanistan and Pakistan to 68 points. Importing these people is very much in Labour’s interest as it expands Labour’s voting base of peanuts, increases support for left-wing causes like Global Warming and facilitates Labour’s desire of turning Britain into a Socialist Idiotcracy. Also Pakistan should be renamed Freakistan.
Also I remember a video from rural Pakistan where a celebrant shot the groom dead, when he lost control of an full-auto AK47, he was discharging into the air. In another one, the father in law shot himself in the hand with a semi-auto pistol, he was firing into the ceiling of his own house. These people will fit right with Labours and the Dems voting bases. No wonder they want to ban guns.
As dangerous as Starmer is due to his self-imposed cowardice, ignorance, and idiocy, equally dangerous, if not more so, are the fools who vote for him and the likes of him all across the West. The Starmers of the world would be reduced to blubbering idiots off in a corner somewhere if only the populace were informed and had a shred of national pride.
wait until the health system collapses under the weight of having to house and treat all the deformities and nearly brain dead . thats one reason arabs believe the koran . they are mostly ignorant and not even of average intelligence . the best of all people according to their incestuous perfect leader mohammed . once the barbarians are inside the gate you can kiss goodbye to the neighbourhood .
All sensible Americans should pay close attention to what’s happening in the former ”Great Britain” as it’s your future if you don’t resist the radical Dems . Our so called leader Starmer is absolute vermin and a good example of how 1980s Trotsky-ism has mutated seamlessly into globalism -read GLOBAL SOCIALISM
The Globalists are a hybrid version of Marxism who made their ”long march through the institutions” – a latter day version of the Russian Bolsheviks with Davos as their Comintern
Britain is also a clear example of what America would be if Trump had not decided to get into politics wherein the British conservative party treacherously became the Uni-Party and sold out to the globalists on open borders etc . Trump is a cuckoo in the Uni-party nest -unfortunately here in Britain we have no Trump – just a parody of Trump in the form of Nigel Farage
Good Day Colonel Tarleton. Are you vacationing in Cowpens by any chance. Sunny South Carolina awaits.
Francis Marion says hi! Come back and visit God’s Country soon.
Cheers to America 250!
Starmer is openly a Fabian (bureaucratic socialist rule by “expert” elites). Fabian Society members have held power behind the scenes in the UK since its inception before WW1. The Fabian Society’s symbol is a wolf in sheep’s clothing. British people must have known this when they voted for Starmer’s Labour and open Fabian rule.
I’m afraid that the average Englishman and woman is ignorant of history and just about everything else.
From the 1970s at least, our country has not been educating our children, not teaching them how to think, or how to be curious, enquiring, suspicious of authorities, not teaching them to be able to fend for themselves as opposed to relying on anything the state has to offer.
I think this has been a deliberate policy.
Perhaps one of the first changes we need to make is to fire all the left-wing teachers and lecturers, restore local responsibility for education rather than having a national curriculum. If children left school having been taught to read, write and do arithmetic to have an enquiring mind, and how to search for the truth, my country could quite quickly return to being a happier, healthier and more prosperous place to live.
Should the right pin their hopes on Laurence Fox’s Reclaim Party, or is the upstart seen as a potential election liability, dividing the conservative vote? Any thoughts, Banastre?
If Consanguineous marriage becomes the law of the land in the UK it will become time to break relations with that country as it descends into monkey land. The only way to keep the ferals out.
Two observations:
If the people running the UK today were in charge during world war 2, everyone on that land mass would be speaking German today and saluting the Nazi flag.
If the muslims had conquered the world over a millennia ago, today’s world would be the equivalent of the 12 or 13 century. The muslims have contributed nothing to the world of science, engineering, medicine, technology and civilized society.
If not for the discovery of oil, they would all still be ignorant, primitive tribal warring savages.
Add art, music, and literature, to start! They know it and are envious/jealous, hence the desire to kill us and destroy civilization.
Their conquest of Egypt, which enabled their exclusive access to the international library at Alexandria propelled their stunted civilization forward by leaps and bounds, Rob.
The founders of the USA recognized that Islam is incompatible with the US Constitution and warned against allowing them to enter the country. America’s leaders today, by allowing and even encouraging the massive influx of Islamic “refugees”, are destroying the nation and committing treason against the citizens of America.
i forgot to add that starmer is an imbecile , its what happens when you marry your first cousin . congratulations to the people of londonistan , this is what you voted for . enjoy .
I have contended for decades that here in England, a person is not given a title for doing good things for people. They are given titles for being prepared to do bad things to people. Judas Starmer is proof that I am correct in my belief.
Mr Starmer is a bad man. He is probably destined for eternity in Hell and I don’t want to spend my eternity alongside his kind.
Starmer is promoting inbreeding. Is there a possibility that Starmer, too, is the result of inbreeding? Either that or the covid jabs or both.
