Ahmad Al-Shahrouri’s pungent analysis is interesting, but raises the question: if this is true, why do Muslims contract the coronavirus? He is actually making an extended pitch for Sharia obedience, one that Islamic apologists in the West have been making recently as well: Islam long ago prescribed masks and forbade touching, you see, so it was way out front on the hygiene necessary to prevent this plague. The hope is that the coronavirus crisis will lead Westerners to convert. And in some circles, it likely will. Those who convert will not become aware until later that the requirements to wage jihad against unbelievers are part of Sharia as much as the washing rules.
“Jordanian Islamic Scholar Ahmad Al-Shahrouri: Westerners Are Plagued with Diseases Like the Coronavirus Because They Do Not Wash Filth from Their Behinds with Water Like We Do,” MEMRI, March 29, 2020:
Jordanian Islamic scholar Ahmad Al-Shahrouri said in a March 29, 2020 show on Yarmouk TV (Jordan) that people in the West lack purity and cleanliness, and he gave the example that they do not wash filth from their behinds with water after using the restroom like Muslims do. He explained that this is why Westerners are plagued with viruses and diseases and that this is the reason there has been a shortage of toilet paper in the West in light of the coronavirus pandemic. Recalling a time when his “head almost exploded” from the stench of two Westerners he sat between on a plane, Al-Shahrouri said that Muslims should praise Allah for requiring them to perform ablution. Furthermore, he said that Westerners’ poor hygiene is why France is known for producing luxurious perfumes that mask people’s filth, foulness, and odors.
Ahmad Al-Shahrouri: “I mentioned the West so that we can talk about the purity and cleanliness that Westerners lack so much. When you go into their restrooms, you can’t find a drop of water with which to wash your behind. This is why when one of us travels on a plane or whatever, he takes some water with him to the lavatories, so he can use it to wash himself. Currently, they have run out of toilet paper in their markets, because they do not use water! They are plagued by these diseases, these microbes, and these viruses because they do not clean their filth enough. Believe me when I tell you that I once traveled to a foreign country and I had a middle seat on the plane. I sat between two citizens from the country I was traveling to. Believe me… For over two hours – it was a domestic flight… For over two hours, my head almost exploded from the stench that filled my nose! I couldn’t believe it when the flight was finally over and I could leave me seat. Why is France famous for producing the most luxurious perfumes? It is because they do not use water. They use perfumes to get rid of the filth and foulness of their bodies, and of the odors that stick to them. Oh Muslim, you should praise Allah for making you perform ablution.”
revereridesagain says
We are getting lectures on the importance of toilet hygiene in preventing coronavirus from people who refuse to use TOILET PAPER.
O the irony…..!
mortimer says
Not toilet paper … use CLEAN DIRT.
K. 4:43 “Believers, approach not prayers … when you are polluted, until after you have bathed. If you are ill, or on a journey, or come from answering the call of nature, or you have touched a woman, and you find no water, then take for yourselves clean dirt, and rub your faces and hands. Lo! Allah is Benign.”
Scott Pilgrim says
Um, they wash their behinds. You know, actually clean it. As opposed to smearing the stuff around with some paper.
There are many cultures who wash their behinds. Including the french and italians. Its called a bidet. Smearing the goo around and calling yourself clean is disgusting.
gravenimage says
It sounds as though “Scott” here has never used toilet paper–odd since Scott Towels makes a good toilet paper…
Does “Scott” here know that the average Westerner also bathes or showers once–sometimes twice–a day?
More likely, just like Ahmad Al-Shahrouri he considers the “filthy Infidels” to be ritually unclean.
Finally, does “Scott” know the appalling condition of most of the toilets in the Muslim world? I doubt very much that he cares.
mortimer says
Many Salafists drench themselves with musk perfumes because they are imitating Mohammed. It lingers long after they pass by.
Boromir's Horn says
As “Scott” seems to be such an expert on behind behavior, maybe he has some insight on who installed the toilet cam at the 7 Eleven
James Lincoln says
gravenimage,
If you will allow me to relate a mildly amusing off-topic anecdote…
Years back, at my clinic, I was taking a shower after a 2 mile run during lunchtime.
A social worker who I knew well – and confided in – also did the 2 mile run and was waiting to use the shower.
He said: “Doc, you’ve been in there quite a long time.”
I replied: “I’m washing off all of my sins.”
He replied, much to my chagrin: “In that case you better stay in a little while longer…”
gravenimage says
Funny, James!
Westman says
Umm, Scott, if you wash the affected part with water vigorously enough to remove all adhering “”goo”, you must either use your hand, a cloth, or toilet paper to do it. After this, one will have a problem with a soiled hand, cloth, or toilet paper. So please explain how one deals with cleaning the hand or cloth. Remember that you have fingernails and there is no scrubbing brush in the bathroom of an airliner.
Frankly, you have not thought this through, Scott, or you would realize that “washing” with water is a diluting process which reduces the “substance” toward zero which is never reached – nor does washing hands remove everything adhering to them. Washing only helps prevent disease by reducing the bacterial or viral load to a level that the body can quickly overcome it.
Remember, Scott, those little plastic bottles and wipes, now missing from market shelves, containing substances that kill bacteria and viruses. They don’t remove all of them, they destroy their viability.
It seems that a good rule is never grasp the left (or right) hand of any Muslim who does ablution on an airliner, or, Scott’s.
Terry Gain says
Who isn tired of these inferior whack jobs telling us how much better they are than us.
We don’t kill people for refusing to share our beliefs and we don’t have their high incidence of rape. We don’t mutilate young girls or engage in honour killing.
And we haven’t set up a legal system which opposes: freedom of speech, freedom of conscience, freedom of religion, gender quality any equality of citizenship
And of all people on the face of the earth capable of developing a vaccine to protect against this virus, Muslims rank dead last.
FYI says
Just look at all those ‘holy’ books the islamic scholar has:and not in any one of them will you find either the Golden Rule{Matthew 7 v 12} or the 2nd chief commandment of God.Yet you will find these important teachings in ANY Bible written in ANY language ….but not in any koran.
If allah was the same as the Biblical God it’d be like this..
God woke up in the 7th cent,had some kind of stroke that prevented Him from understanding any language except Arabic,completely missed the Golden Rule,told his followers it is OK to violate the Exodus 20 Decalogue{see the koran},told them NOT to “love thy neighbor”{lev19:18} as he is an infidel and the “worst of created beings”{ koran 98:6},became violently antisemitic,forgot the role of the Jews and the fact that the Prophets were Jewish mistakenly believing them to be muslims,completely denied and contradicted everything Jesus said and did,missed the Holy Spirit{which was given to mankind at the time of Christ in order to give mankind the Wisdom to know God} completely misunderstood Christian Theology{he thinks MARY is part of the Trinity}and now has a doctrine of hate instead of love.
And the “scholars” of islam with all their ‘holy’ books cannot see that the problem is with allah,muhamed and the koran and not with the Bible especially given that allah confirms the Bible as being TRUE k3:3?
Terry Gain says
That’s a very nifty and truthful summary of Islam FYI.
Would it offend you If I suggested that Muslim scholars can’t see that problem of Islam Is with Allah because they think he is god. They can’t see that the problem with Mohammed is because they think he’s a prophet of their religion and the problem with the Koran is they think it is the holy book of their religion handed down to them by God.
If we could only convince them that Islam is not religion, then they wouldn’t think that Allah is God and they wouldn’t think that it was holy to follow the example of Mohammed, a false prophet and they wouldn’t believe they had any duty to obey the odious commands in the Koran.
Solving Islam may not be impossible if we take the important first step.

Muslims drop out when they discover the Koran is of human origin. The hygiene principles of the Koran (‘washing’ with ‘clean dirt’) are unhygienic.

The highest per capita infected area in Sweden is in the no go zone of Rinkeby. I am not surprised by this as I expected that Muslims would refuse to self isolate but rather would continue to assemble to pray to their mythical deity.
I am surprised by the low rate of infections in Germany and the low incidence of death as a percentage of population. Given the Muslim migration into Germany I expected that Germany would be hard hit by COVID-19. Germany has the lowest grade of fatalities per capita then any western nation except Canada.
This virus is clearly spread by travel and I attribute Canada’d low rate of COVID-19 infections and deaths to the fact that Canada is not exactly a tourist paradise in the winter time. If anybody can explain why Germany It’s not being harder hit I would appreciate seeing your comments. Thank you.
CogitoErgoSum says
Germans are known to be good at obeying what their government tells them to do. Maybe they have been better at following social distancing directives. Also, maybe they have been better at protecting their older citizens from exposure since covid-19 is most deadly to older people. I think Germany is still one of the top countries as far as individuals testing positive for the virus goes but, yes, they have one of the lowest death rates from it. They are doing something right. Their older people are tough — and smart.
Terry Gain says
Thanks Cogito. You are right, although the confirmed infection numbers don’t tell the whole story because they don’t tell us how many people were tested, but according to Coronavirus Dashboard there are 113,340 confirmed infections in Germany. If you multiply that by 4 to account for the difference in population between Germany and the United States then there would be 453,360 infections.
The confirmed number of infections in the United States is currently 413,222, so the numbers are very close In terms of infections per capita, but the Germans easily have the lowest death rate of any of the western European countries. Canada’s death rate per capita is even lower than Germany’s. It must be our hockey genes.
Coronavirus Dashboard was invented by Avi Shiffmann, a 17-year-old Seattle student who appears not to be of the Islamic persuasion – with apologies to all Imams. LOL. I don’t know how he did it. He is obviously a genius. Perhaps I need to see if I can pick his mind to help me with my argument that Islam is not really a religion after all.
At any rate Avi’s site is better than the Johns Hopkins site because it shows you the daily changes in incidence and deaths in absolute numbers and in percentages. It is also much more user-friendly than the Johns Hopkins site.
Shalom.

How can Muslims bring water with them when they travel (at least to infidel countries)? Small bottles are prohibited on airplanes, and would be confiscated from carry-on bags prior to boarding. Maybe Shahrouri carries wet paper towels in his pockets, along with a few smooth stones and some clean sand, should he need to have a poo while in the air. If so, I wonder what he does with all of it after wudu – throw it down the airplane’s commode, perhaps? In any event, remember, O Believers: Wudu after doodoo, or Allah will be quite displeased.
Westman says
There is water in every airliner bathroom. Al-Shahrouri is outright lying – surprise. The ease with which Islamic “scholars” lie is astounding. As long as the lie demeans unbelievers, no matter how outrageous, it is accepted.
The rule is: Islam must always appear superior.
somehistory says
“the stench that filled my nose! ” Well, creepy fool, next time, clean off your top lip and you may have more pleasant smelling experiences.
Perhaps he knows about the “perfumes” due to the two passengers he sat between drenching themselves in order to dilute the foul odors emanating from his filthy person.
This is the height of arrogance. While reading this, I couldn’t help thinking about the moslim restaurant owner who never washed his hands before preparing the food and… after using the toilet. Going straight from the toilet to the kitchen without washing his hands. Filthy is as filthy does.
This arrogant know-it-all neglected to say just how the “water” is applied to the “behind” in order to clean it. With the hand, no doubt. And then, they don’t wash their hands.
Since his moslim bros and sis’s have been getting and spreading the virus all over the world…think pakistan and Inda for examples…they must not be using quite enough “water” when they **go.** And not washing their hands after.

What, yet another stupid beyond belief Muslim “scholar” sharing his wisdom with the world. I’ve figured it out. In the totally upside down world view of Islam, the definition of the word scholar is a person who has an IQ below 50. It is the only possible answer to truly unbelievable level of stupidity these fuckwits constantly display whenever they pontificate on this coronavirus and other issues. They truly make Homer Simpson look like Albert Einstein.

No doubt his ‘holy’ fraudulently pious islamic soul is filthy and demonic.

Muslims perfume themselves liberally because Mohammed was very fond of perfumes.
The Apostle of Allah, may Allah bless him, said: “I like not from worldly life but perfumes and women.” (Ibn Sa’d, Kitab al-Tabaqat al-Kabir, Volume 1, p. 469)
Aisha said: “The Prophet of Allah, may peace be upon him, liked three worldly objects—perfume, women and food. He obtained two and did not obtain one. He obtained women and perfumes but did not get food.” (Ibn Sa’d, Kitab al-Tabaqat al-Kabir, Volume 1, p. 469)
Salamah ibn Kuhayl said: “The Apostle of Allah, may Allah bless him, did not obtain anything from worldly objects dearer to him than women and perfumes.” (Ibn Sa’d, Kitab al-Tabaqat al-Kabir, Volume 1, p. 469)
Mohammed used plenty of perfumes and plenty of women, but his appetite for food was never satisfied.
JMB says
Can some well travelled Jihad Watch follower tell us all about the wonderful sparkling clean well equipped sanitary facilities as well as all the spotlessly clean people that they come across during their journeys through the Islamic world?

Lenny Leaps In says
I hate Islam but I have a query:
Coronavirus has exploded in Italy, Spain, France, UK, USA … with many currently many thousands of deaths. But in heavily populated Muslim, Indian and African countries, where here is massive over-crowding, as of now the recorded deaths are much much lower than western countries. Why is this??? If the virus is spread by people not self-isolating, the current deaths in Muslim, Indian and African countries etc should be in the tens of thousands – but this is clearly not the case.
Just wondering … ??
JMB says
Yours is an interesting question. Most of us would get very sick in the places you have describes. I just wonder if the people who live in these places have build up an natural resilience to many diseases as part of the survival of the fittest which would have to be part of their make up.

Islamic scholar: Westerns get coronavirus because they don’t perform the ablutions that Islam requires

While this might not be completely impossible if riding between two people on a city bus heading through skid row, that this happened on an airplane is *highly* unlikely.
What is more likely is that Al-Shahrouri found these two to be *ritually* unclean–in other words they were obviously not Muslim, not that they actually smelled bad.

Aussie Infidel says
The stench that filled Ahmad al-Shahrouri’s nose didn’t come from the Westerners seated next to him on the plane, but from his own imagination which has been conditioned by Islamic doctrine from childhood, to hate and detest unbelievers. Unconscious memories which have been formed as a result of indoctrination with deeply emotional issues – particularly those involving politics and religion – are often imprinted so indelibly, they persist throughout a person’s life, and greatly influence their world-view. In other words, the stench wasn’t coming from the Westerners seated beside Al-Shahrouri, but olfactory hallucinations from his own permanently impaired mind.
Islam is fanatical about purity and cleanliness – and many other issues – because its founder, Muhammad, was a psychopath and a narcissist who grew up in an Arab tribal society in a harsh desert environment. And furthermore, since Muhammad was also illiterate, he was unable to educate himself by reading the works of the Greeks, Romans, Jews and Christians who preceded him. Muhammad was like many today who reject scientific evidence for the psuedo-science of alternative medicine – which is also often deeply rooted in religious beliefs and ignorance.
The Covid 19 virus didn’t originate from Westerners travelling on airplanes, but from a source in Wuhan, China, which has not yet been positively identified. However, like a true Muslim supremacist, al-Shahrouri uses the occasion to denigrate non-Muslims.
