Taboo: As in other Islamic societies, the left hand is considered unclean. Always use your right hand only when eating or when passing something to an Arab Muslim. If you happen to be left-handed, train yourself to offer your business card with your right hand.

Have you ever asked why?

Hint: Toilet paper is not available in the desert.

Muslims are supposed to wash their hands and feet before they pray, and they pray five times a day - or is it six?

I was informed by one of the bailiffs at the Alexandria Federal Court that during the recent "paintball" trial, the Muslims were washing their hands and *feet* in the bathroom sinks, and all the courthouse staff were really ticked off about it.

So I think they are clean -- just don't use deodorant.

Corn cobs either :)
