Probably a Muhammadan. Part of their pre-prayers ablutions ritual is rinsing each nostril with water three times.

Use safe water to protect yourself from a deadly brain infection.

Many people perform ritual nasal rinsing. This practice is included in Yogic, Ayurvedic, and Islamic traditions. Within the Islamic faith, ritual nasal rinsing is included in a cleansing process called "wudu" or "ablution." It is usually performed several times a day in preparation for prayer.

Notice the Jewish religion, wisely, has no such ritual.
