What about it? The US has less than 1% inbreeding rate. Compare that to EVERY MUSLIM COUNTRY. Then look at non-muslim countries and see what their Muslim population is. You will quickly discover that the higher the Muslim population, the higher the inbreeding. The higher the inbreeding means a lower average IQ.
Considering the daughter of Muhammad married her close relative, that doesn’t surprise me. I think it’s common among some Hindu Indians as well.

I won't bother to bring up the numerous Christian settlements and groups around the US who do this very thing.
It’s rather rare here. Incredibly rare, actually.

Show me the science on that.
Without going off topic, first cousin marriage used to be pretty common and the norm up until the civil war in the United States. Queen Victoria was married to her first cousin (the late Queen Elizabeth II and her husband Prince Philip were third cousins and great-great grandchildren of Queen Victoria).

It’s mostly taboo in the West. (Although legal in some states)

Even where first cousin marriage is legal, it is very rare in Christian societies.

Like Islamic culture groups?
cultural groups within a country. I'm not sure why this is hard to understand...

Are you trying to talk about sects of Islam?

Amish for example since they don’t marry outside their religion and (generally) don’t accept converts? Or other groups such as old order Mennonites or Hutterites that live the same lifestyle as the Amish and come from the same Anabaptist family?

Here you go.
From a very basic scientific understanding, that doesn’t surprise me, sadly. Genetic diversity is a must when it comes to reproduction- BUT we are starting to get off topic.

Here you go.
Thank you for providing the source. The only thing that interested me in my quick read was that the article was published in 2014 and their measure was the WISC which was replaced in 1974 by the WISC-R. I think the results are relative (no pun intended) and would not have been changed by using the current version of the test, but I wonder why they did that. I doubt it is a textual error given the thoroughness of the article.

It's quite obvious the left here has zero interest in actually discussing the issues. They just want to attack the right with ad hominem attacks and false representations. They have been told many times where we stand in regard to helping people and its not even close to their ridiculous acusations. But they are committed to twisting the stance back into whatever mythological belief system they have. Its actually nothing more than slander and smear tactics. The lowest of tactics for those who actually have no cogent arguments. Closing ones ears so your belief system can't be challenged is part for the course.

How come the "healthy balance" for Conservative Christians 10 years ago was "we should be helping the poor" and now it's "sometimes we should be helping the poor not usually not"?

Sodom experienced collective consequence for doing stuff like that.
Pure claptrap and evidence of an unwilling mind to listen.

I wonder how this poisoning of the term empathy came about? It seems like a new idea, to put boundaries on compassion and empathy.

Part of the challenges of faith are the exact thing they are complaining about it. It's hard to be a christian because being empathetic is hard. But the solution seems to be to change the expectation instead of work toward greatness.
More purposefully misrepresentation of Christian conservative thought. Our faith also says that kind of action is unChrist like.


Let all bitterness and wrath and anger and clamor and slander be put away from you, along with all malice.

When you close your ears you will never hear.

Trump's calls for “remigration,” a form of ethnic cleansing, echo Nick Fuentes' calls to roll back immigration

On November 27, Trump posted on Truth Social that he would “permanently pause migration from all Third World Countries to allow the U.S. system to fully recover,” adding, “Only REVERSE MIGRATION can fully cure this situation.” Trump’s latest comments come after the Department of Homeland Security publicly called for immigrants to “remigrate,” Trump’s State Department announced the opening of an “Office of Remigration” in April [see below], and Trump pledged during his 2024 presidential campaign to “revoke deportation immunity, suspend refugee resettlement, and return Kamala’s illegal migrants to their home countries (also known as remigration).”

Fuentes has also celebrated right-wing media figures and politicians who have embraced the idea of an end to all immigration or even remigration, boasting in June that “I've never seen the right wing so angry and so explicitly against mass migration, so close to expressing their disdain in racial terms. ... the groypers have won. It's just not even a question at this point.”

In reaction to Trump's Truth Social post about “reverse migration,” Fuentes said that “this is awesome,” and he also called it a “great post,” saying it’s “funny, hilarious, incisive, witty, direct.”

See also:

According to a post about the summit on the Global Project Against Hate and Extremism’s website, “Remigration is rooted in the thoroughly de-bunked white supremacist ‘Great Replacement’ conspiracy theory, which purports a planned ‘replacement’ of white people by politicians and other ‘elites.’ Jews are often targeted as driving this ‘plan.’”

They continued: “Remigration is a series of policy proposals, drafted by Austrian Identitarian and former neo-Nazi Martin Sellner, to end the so-called ‘replacement’ by purging the continent of non-white people and eliminating all forms of multiculturalism. The goal is to make countries ‘European again.’”

US State Department set to launch Office of Remigration

... which will “provide a policy platform for interagency coordination with DHS and other agencies on removals/repatriations, and for intra-agency policy work to advance the President’s immigration agenda.” There will also be offices of International Migration/Repatriation and Refugee Processing.
