“”Each time they have to clean themselves with running water. So, I think we better don’t go there.””


When you say that to an American, he takes it to mean a cleaning, taking a shower or bath.

Not rinsing their face, feet and hands.

Folks you might not like Muslims for many reasons and that’s your privilege but to describe them as dirty or people who don’t bathe is simply assinine and merely shows up your own ignorance.

In my very extensive experience of living in a largely Muslim society, they are very clean people, almost to the point of being pernickety about hygiene. They wash their hands, feet, and face five times a day before prayer and in the country I live they shower first thing in the morning and again in the evening, and when they use the toilet they wash down there too (they think the idea of simply using dry toilet paper as filthy), they also remove their shoes before entering a house thus not traipsing the dirt of the street all over the floors as we tend to do in the west.

Like I say criticise Islam all you want but in my experience Muslims keep a much higher standard of personal hygiene than most people did in my home country (Ireland, where up until recently one bath a week on a Saturday evening was considered normal!).
