Ann Barnhardt goes on and on against first cousin marriage, calling the Koran the "most lax" incest prohibition in human history, seemingly unaware that the Mosaic Law allows first cousin marriage. As do most US states today. What distinguishes the Islamic world is that first and second cousin marriages are considered the norm and constitute about half of all marriages.

BTW, Rome and Greece allowed paternal half-sibling marriages, considering paternal half-siblings to be less related than maternal half-siblings, a view we have laughed at since the discovery of genes, but may have to be reconsidered in view of recent discoveries concerning the epigenome.
