Orange is a good colour, but the fruit is bad.

Most Muslim countries use a hose now. Which gets water everywhere in public facilities, but is more hygienic than smearing feces all over your butt with a wad of dry paper.

Because not washing your hands after smearing feces all over your butt with a wad of dry paper is even more gross than not washing your hands after using a shattaf.

If Wikipedia is to be believed (loving lol, I know), the left hand wipe is mandatory. Washing the hand afterward is merely suggested.

Quran 5:6 posted:

O you who have believed, when you rise to prayer, wash your faces and your forearms to the elbows and wipe over your heads and wash your feet to the ankles. And if you are in a state of janabah, then purify yourselves. But if you are ill or on a journey or one of you comes from the place of relieving himself or you have contacted women and do not find water, then seek clean earth and wipe over your faces and hands with it.
That's more than a suggestion, it says wash your hands with clean water (and elsewhere says make sure this is not your drinking water) unless water is not available at all, in which case use clean earth, which is ehhh but better than nothing.

I believe 'contacted women' is euphemistic (except for the hardline fundamentalists, who refuse to actually contact women).

The Netherlands is proof that the 'Islamification of Europe' isn't happening.

Can confrim Turks being kind of obsessive about cleanliness (in a way that has no positive impact on littering) and regarding westerners as a race of Pigpen stink people.
Most commonly stated reasons for western filthiness:
Above stated wiping method of smearing dry paper on your rear end.
Using seated toilets in public instead of contactless squatty potties
Never washing hands

Though I had a south african friend who often said to keep shoes on when I went to his place. I always took them off.

I've been an American my entire life and I wear shoes in the house just like George Washington did. Sometimes I even accidentally track dog poo poo in from the back yard and don't notice until I have a trail through two rooms. Speaking of dogs, yes, the dogs come and go through the dog door and they can use the couches and sometimes the bed. I only wash my hands if someone else is in the bathroom and there's some social pressure like a shared glance or something. You may not like it, but this is the very epitome of American Excrementalism and the reason why your weak European Socialist (Communist) immune systems will never measure up.

I'm american and it bugs the hell out of me when people wear shoes ANYWHERE that you can acceptably remove them.

The worst is at a house party where everyone else is still stomping around in their shoes and you wanna take yours off but dunno if that would be weird.

Also in my experience most people in the south keep their shoes on but most people in the northeast take theirs off, which jives with Canada and kinda makes sense if you consider the weather.

My theory:

Maybe religious identity was stronger in Spain than in Portugal

More hygiene was probably associated to members of the islam, so bad--- could get you in trouble with the Spanish Inquisition

quote:

With advances in science able to trace individuals' ancestry via their DNA, according to a widely publicised study (December 2008) in the American Journal of Human Genetics, modern Spaniards (and Portuguese) have an average admixture of 19.8 percent from ancestors originating in the Near East during historic times (i.e. Phoenicians, Carthaginians, Jews and Levantine Arabs) – compared to 10.6 percent of North African – Berber admixture.[6][7][8] This proportion could be as high as 23% in the case of Latin Americans, however, according to a study published in Nature Communications.[9][10] The possibly higher proportion of significant Jewish ancestry in the Latin American population could stem from increased emigration of Conversos to the New World to avoid persecution by the Spanish Inquisition.[10]

It seems a lot of the latinaamerica people are actually descendants of jews. Latino-americans are 23% jew.
