It's always fun to point out the sharia rule (islam was created in a province of the Eastern Roman Empire) that you should use your left hand to clean your downside after using a squatting toilet, optionally using pebbles, and without looking - and thus by normal standards of interpretation - not anything else or in any other way. Oh and don't worry: it explicitly mentions you can wash your hands in water afterwards. Needless to say, even the most hardline clerics are unwilling to follow this rule in present day. It's one of those rules that is always conveniently left out when muslims defend religious rules. But in reality some people actually do this. There was a recent court case in Egypt when a chef insisted on doing things this way and that this -and not washing hands afterwards- should be enough. I don't even know how the court case went but I doubt the guy still has any customers. (incidentally this may be why there is a sharia rule that you should -only- use your right hand for eating, greeting, opening doors and it's attempting to further insult slaves by calling slaves "those owned by the left hand") (it would probably be worth pointing out that when one does not have the availability of modern toilets and toilet paper this is probably a good way to significantly slow the spread of several very serious diseases. It won't stop them, of course) http://www.myreligionislam.com/detail.asp?Aid=6096 http://www.myreligionislam.com/detail.asp?Aid=6096 https://thehumanist.com/voices/rules_are_for_schmucks/rules-schmucks-islam-vs-toilet-paper https://thehumanist.com/voices/rules_are_for_schmucks/rules-...
