Muslims are allowed to marry their first cousins indirectly. Just like Christians, Jews and Hindus can marry them.
You should really pick up the holy scriptures sometimes :P

To a Muslimin, marrying a cousin might not be as bad as, say, drinking blood is to them! It may seem very strange to us. But "satanic" is a very strong word to use indeed!
I don't think all Muslims are doing that, like they don't all have two or three wives. They are having a tough time right now, so maybe you need to chat with one of them to get the real scoop. I wouldn't use the word "satanic" if I were you though.

The Islamic view is that while marriage between cousins is permissible, it is certainly preferable to choose a marriage partner from outside one's family since marriage between 1st cuzins tend 2 cause biological problems in children.In fact, the Prophet himself touched on it when he recommended his followers to marry outside their families and indeed outside their clans.
So no sorry 2 dissapoint u islam isnt a satanic religion n nor we r creepy.

In Virginia, it's legal to marry your first cousin, or at least it was several years ago when I researched the issue for a Muslim client who wanted to know if he could have his marriage annulled on that basis.
As a side note, non-connsummation of a marriage is also not grounds for anullment in Virginia.

Muslims are not allowed to marry there first cousin as far as I know. Why do you seem so obsessed with bashing Islam today?

If that is your reasoning for Satanic religion then every body in West Virginia would be screwed.

The best thing that I can suggest to you is to pick up an actual Qur-an and read it instead of asking questions like this that are downright offensive and have no merit in them at all.

I don't see how there is a connection between satan and marriage.
