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.
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.
