Islamic scholar: ‘Impure’ Westerners suffer from disease because they don’t wash properly

Westerners are “plagued by these diseases” and produce perfumes “because they do not clean their filth enough,” says Jordanian Islamic scholar Ahmad al-Shahrouri.

According to Jordanian Islamic scholar Ahmad al-Shahrouri, people in the West “lack purity and cleanliness” and suffer from diseases because they do not wash their behinds with water after using the restroom like Muslims do.

“They have currently run out of toilet paper in their markets because they do not use water,” al-Shahrouri told Jordan’s Yarmouk TV on March 29.

He added: “They are plagued by these diseases, these microbes and these viruses because they do not clean their filth enough.”

France, he said, produces luxurious perfumes to mask Westerners’ stench “because they do not use water.”

Recalling a time when his “head almost exploded” from the stench of two Westerners he sat between on a plane, al-Shahrouri said: “Oh Muslim, you should praise Allah for making you perform ablution.”

“Jews make up a small fraction of San Francisco’s population, yet anti-Jewish bias accounted for nearly half of all hate crimes reported so far this year,” Marc Levine, of the ADL, told JNS.
Board of Peace envoy Nickolay Mladenov denies claims of a financial deal with the terror group.
“Calling it ‘settler violence’ is a provocation” which “denies our connection to the land of Israel” and “distracts from constant terrorist attacks against Israelis,” said Israeli Ambassador Danny Danon.
Jonathan Sarna, of Brandeis University, told JNS that the partnership “vividly displays the benefits of the free marketplace of competing synagogues in the American setting.”
