#1 IIRC there was a RB article many, many moons ago about the soddies passing law to prevent, or at least lessen, the frequency of marriage between relatives.
In the magic kingdom, about 70% of weddings involve blood relatives, I think, against 50% in Jordania (from another article), I take it must be more or less the average for the arabo-muslim world.

Inbreeding at it finest...

#4 Hey..good for them but last time I checked it was the 21st century. Do you really need an in-depth study and a committe to decide if incest a bad thing?

#5 I hadn't realized that in some places incest was considered a human right......
