She maybe all that and more but when her detractors threaten her with death, she becomes very intelligent and brave in the eyes of civilized people. You speak the truth Raamsade, in fact if I remember correctly the director of that film she made/wrote/produced? had his throat slit in a public area. Now if that is not a terrible representation for Islam I dont know what is. With regards to her interview I think she is very intelligent well spoken but her agruments seemed superficial (too harsh?) and bitter, maybe she has a right to be bitter I dont know... But to put down an entire religion, a way of life for 1 billion people with weak arguments and without distinguishing between Islam and muslim is not valid in my opinion.

LOL, the people beside me in this library are giving me ugly looks that say * "keep it down big black man!"

Lol I am new here and accidently posted without finishing:/ Anyway on the cousin marriage thing, since autism is most likely heriditary it stands to reason marrying someone closely related to you would increase the chances of your children being autistic IF your family has a history of autism. Which is frankly hard to determine as most somali's are loathe to admit let alone treat their children for some illness with out the standard symptoms..e.g cough, fever....severed limb:P

From what I know autism is generally caused 'faulty' genetics and in the rare cases it is induced it is by mutation also at the genetic level. Apparently no one is sure what causes the mutations, but there are plenty of chemicals out there so it will take a while. Also the cause of autism is not as simple as one gene on one chromasome or two recessive/dominant genes from both parents, it is thought that it might be a combination of genes that cause it.
