Being anti-cousin marriage is simply a way to be biggoted against Muslims, it's that simple. It causes literally no problem for anyone except the biggots it triggers. If you hate cousin marriage, you will fricking hate Palestine and should take that flag out of your screen name.

Also because I like receipts, here's the money quote from his letter to the crown from the first voyage:

I was informed that there is another island larger than the aforesaid Hispana, whose inhabitants have no hair; and that there is a greater abundance of gold in it than in any of the others. Some of the inhabitants of these islands and of the others I have seen I am bringing over with me to bear testimony to what I have reported. Finally, to sum up in a few words the chief results and advantages of our departure and speedy return, I make this promise to our most invincible Sovereigns, that, if I am supported by some little assistance from them, I will give them as much gold as they have need of, and in addition spices, cotton and mastic, which is found only in Chios, and as much aloes-wood, and as many heathen slaves as their majesties may choose to demand; besides these, rhubarb and other kinds of drugs, which I think the men I left in the fort before alluded to, have already discovered, or will do so; as I have delayed nowhere longer than the winds compelled me, except while I was providing for the construction of a fort in the city of Nativity, and for making all things safe.

Oh no no no certainly not the army, just taxpayers and gold miners and blanket weavers.

And yup he was mentioning that first neat trick
