Read the article published in Salon.com that is posted above “Secrets of the Muslim Bathroom”. What cultural norms does the author talk about that are seen as potentially strange or embarrassing to him in front of his fellow Americans? What are your thoughts on using water to clean after using the bathroom. Do you think you could adjust to using only water if there were no toilet tissue?
