I understand where you're coming from though, to be very fair. Smile


The Muslims around here smell so bad. I promise you that all of the Muslims I've met including some at school smell like they haven't showered in years. My friend goes to a Muslim doctor and she says he even smells. Do the muslims around where you live wipe their butts with their bare left hand or have they became civilized and use toilet paper?

LOL Sad to say, its still very much the hand and not the toilet paper. Something about cleanliness about the hand that is used for eating or something or other right? :S

That is a very common practice throughout Asia and not just an Islamic thing. Not everyone has toilet paper, some just have bowls of water and then you use your hand and wash afterwards.

I mist say the "smell" argument is downright stupid. Different diets makes for different smells. You should know this. To Asian people we smell very acidic due to our high consumption of dairy products.

Ohhh...That is true. In fact, washing is way cleaner then using toilet paper.

The "smell" comment is rather uncalled for though.

You can't excuse smelling like un washed ass. I didn't say all Muslims smelled bad. I said the ones I've been around do. My husband was in Iraq for almost two years. He said most of them wipe their ass with their bare hand and then run water over it but don't use soap. He told me about how they would have to do searches on them at road blocks and that they had to swipe their hand up their butt crack to make sure there wasn't anything hidden in there and he said you would come away with sh*t on your glove. They didn't even do a cavity search...just between the butt cheeks. Apparently whatever they were doing didn't remove poop from their butt hairs. He also said that sometimes the Iraqi men would get an erection when they would do the searches and they would smack them in the head with the butt of their rifle for it. They are disgusting people.

But then... several very rude people smell of that... and they go so far to insult my mild sour apple scent Shock How rude indeed!

People smell bad when they don't observe proper hygiene.... tis a fact of nature ^_^

Sounds kind of rasistic too me, but I don't know if you are serious or not.

I'm serious. I don't care if people think it's racist or not because I'm telling the truth based on my personal observatioins. You can think I'm racist if you want. Muslims aren't a race anyway...it's a religion. If it were anything it'd be something other than racism.

Our forum t-shirts aren't concealing our appearance, or being forced on women against their will. It's not being proposed because of the way other people look at them, it's being proposed because they are anti-social.

Shirts cover nipples! and on Nipplonia (My homeworld) it is the height of disrespect to cover those holy body parts. On Nipplonia there is a shirt tax of no less than 40 zargs! Ok, you could pay in zengies but, who has any of those anymore? amirite?
