Skeptical about this. Generations of inbreeding and consanguinity has to be a major factor.

"A rough estimate reveals that close to half of everybody living in the Arab world is inbred. A large percentage of the parents that are blood related come from families where intermarriage has been a tradition for generations."

There are two clusters in France of children being born with birth defects, any connection .

Hard to imagine that the depleted uranium is responsible, or that the level is above nearby countires!

SCIENCE SAYS NO!

Al-Anbar study revealed a rate of 8.5 birth defects per 1000 births. Similar rates were reported in Basrah in 1998 (7.76 per 1000 births) [6] and 1994 (8.7 per 1000 births) [8]. Recently a high rate of 12.36 per 1000 births was reported from Baghdad, Iraq in 2007 [9]. Most of these reported rates are generally lower than those reported in United Arab Emirates (10.5 per 1000 live births during 1992–1994) [10], Bahrain (18.75 per 1000 live births in 1985) [11], Turkey (11.1 per 1000 live births during 1988–1995) [12] and Iran (16.55 per 1000 total births which increased from 10.46 in 2000 to 17.01 per 1000 births in 2004) [13].

How do we know its depleted uranium and not generations of muslim inbreeding.
