Is Sexual Intercourse Between Siblings Morally Permissible?

It doesn't matter.

It seems we are different creatures and this rubbish caused me nausea...arguing about this is really meaningless but I couldn't help except expressing my feelings the first time.
You're in no position to judge though, other people's sex lives are none of your business. I agree, I don't understand why anyone would get intimate with a relative, but how other people get their rocks off doesn't concern me in the least bit, unless it's with me.

As I have mind, intellect and conscience, I am in the prefect position to judge every thing; ideas, actions, situations etc...differentiating between what is right and wrong, between what's acceptable and what is not, is supposed to be a normal mental and intellectual process of any normal human being. If I passed by ideas and acts and said "oh non of my business, I don't give a damn, I don't have to think about it" then we become no different than the shoes we wear. I have very right to judge and express my judgments and decisions.

I agree you have every right to an opinion and also the right to express that opinion, but not to judge people based on their opinions. You're no more good or bad, right or wrong than the people you judge.

True that in many cases you just can't judge people yet in others we do judge them; like criminals, we judge them based on an act/acts which we identify as wrong/immoral.

Perfectly fine, so long as they accept that any genetic illnesses that derive from inbreeding are solely their economic burden and will not be supported by the state.

I'll admit so long as it is between two consenting adults, it's non of my business. However, inbreeding is another issue since it will negatively affect an innocent baby. I don't think siblings should be allowed to breed, for that reason.

As long as no children are born as a result, quite frankly I've got more important things to concern myself with. In relation to whether or not it is "Moral", again I don't really think it's anything bad.

Morality's a very subjective thing though. There are things I would get arrested for doing here in the US that are considered wrong or immoral, that would be no problem if I did the same thing in another country. It's all a matter of opinion; in reality nobody has the right to judge anyone else.

Not4Me let's talk about this. I realize that you come from a very narrow worldview (Islam). And that in Islam homosexuality is like the biggest sin, so I don't expect you to understand. But if you were gay, and you had a gay brother too, and you knew one night of fun wouldn't hurt anyone, what would you do? I am not asking for your moral religious opinions, I am asking you to put yourself into the shoes of a gay person, and try to understand our point of view. We do not choose to be gay.

Right. And our societies/countries/species/planet has so many real threats and problems which need facing anyways. We never seem to concern ourselves with the important things for some reason, so I've never understood why certain people appear to be obsessed with trivial stuff like Homosexuality....................perhaps there's something they're not telling us! ;)

It sickens me that some people are so narrow minded as to look down on others for taking part in certain acts which harm nobody. Yet some of these people come from a culture where a female's genitals are routinely butchered at birth and that is seen as okay. How pathetic.

I would say based on the definition of moral it is not morally permissible.

1)Based on personal conscience.
2)according to common standard of justice
3)encouraging goodness and decency
4)good by accepted standards
5)able to tell right from wrong
6)based on personal conviction

Whereas definitions 1 and 6 could be taken either way I don't see how 2,3,4,5 could be supportive of sexual intercouse between siblings. I will of couse let you debate it.

If you want to use those guidelines, then, by the standards that many hold, interracial relationships would be immoral.
