I hope u know everything in life has risk? Even marrying a total stranger, who could have a number of ailments unknown to u or anyone else,even eating has risk? So what are u really yapping about? The same u was calling me all sort of names becoz of this cousin marriage issue (off course u got served) yet u seem not to have the guts to call the American's as such, you would not be the first to hate Islam and the many perished in their rage! The real issue becomes why do animals general have broda - sister relationships and have now of the issues we humans face? The answer is the way we live have effect us to our very genes, and even at that if u expected the Qur'an to tell u the risk of not looking before u cross the road then I think u are reducing yourself to a mere joke, the fact remains the Qur'an calls on man to think reason and ponder! Scientific knowledge literally grew with the advent of Islam, indicates clearly the Ummah is to be a nation of research etc! In essence we are given impetus to find knowledge as it aids us! Btw till date ur evolution theory have not assisted u in finding out why the human genes are depreciating rather than evolving for the better!

Different types of risks. Go and educate yourself, my brother
