Thus, when Allah mentioned for us the relatives to whom marriage is forbidden, we then come to know that there is no objection for the remainder of the family relations. Furthermore, there is no condition that it be the last resort as indicated in the question. Among the most prominent evidence of ...

Of course this is an evolutionary argument as well as a cultural argument/societal. You can see that within a society which is effectively stagnant in terms of innovations/technology/creativity, and yet works despite being static, environmental pressures will play second fiddle to sexual selection....

The real debate which is so far only being whispered is; are black and brown people inferior? Do they have a lower IQ?

Burning question of the Day:

I just can't support the Alt-Left like ISIS, radical islamists and Hillary Clinton. Who the hell are they playing to with that? Anti-GG folks almost certainly are a 99% lock in the Hillary camp regardless, and I'd wager that a substantial majority of GG folks were leaning towards her too, (albeit, ...
