| Message | In what sense does it go against nature? Many animals use the practice and it has taken place- sporadically- for decades. This is a disgusting insult to His Most High Majesty, who's parents were cousins. Farzin Shahbahram Aldegarian National Party |

| Message | Cousins don't fall under this law...that's the closet direct blood this law permits. Incest is defined by interfamilial relations where all are related directly by blood within 1 to 2 degrees of seperation. Cousins are the 3 to 4 bracket. |

| Message | I think you are misunderstanding. I was simply providing a clear example. To criminalise incest is to criminalise our history and traditions and that is appalling in our view. Farzin Shahbahram Aldegarian National Party |
