Mohamhead never bathed

I was just joking but what you have said has been repeated by several on this thread. Is that true, that he never took a bath?

No not quite! Mohammed made bathing a ritual for the Islamic community.

Sayings like this are quite common:

Narrated Abu Said Al-Khudri:

The Prophet said, "Ghusl (taking a bath) on Friday is compulsory for every Muslim reaching the age of puberty."

Times change and standards change. Up until the late 18th century, Christians thought that Islamic bathing was a degenerate practice - a sign that they liked being naked and getting into water. Good moral people only used to bathe once a year!
