Muslims Thought They Were Drinking Camel Urine, But He Sold Something Else
Posted on August 17, 2015 by Dom the Conservative
Nearly 1,400 years ago, the Islamic Prophet Muhammad urged his followers to drink camel urine as a medical treatment to cure many illnesses. Ever since then, Muslims around the world have embraced the ingestion and usage of camel urine as a cultural and religious tradition, but the lucrative animal waste market has recently sold Muslims more than they were expecting.
Saudi Police have arrested a Pakistani man in Jeddah for a business scam involving one of the oddest false advertising cases most have ever seen.
Muslims Thought They Were Drinking Camel Urine, But He Sold Something Else
Khurshid was selling his own waste as camel urine to unsuspecting Muslims.
Authorities booked a man, identified only as Khurshid, for selling bottles filled with what he claimed to be camel urine, but they really contained his own, reports Emirates 24|7.
The source confirmed that the man’s small business was raided, yielding dozens of urine-filled bottles. After lab analysis, the liquid was positively identified as human urine.
Investigators revealed that Khurshid had been selling his own urine to local Muslims for months, and many customers were unknowingly drinking his own waste.
It is unclear how the offender will be charged, but it’s likely that locals won’t take too lightly to an immigrant contaminating their already backwards and unsanitary habits at the urging of their prophet.
Muhammad first prescribed this disgusting medical treatment when foreign followers became ill from their travels.
Some people from the tribe of ‘Ukl came to the Prophet and embraced Islam. The climate of Medina did not suit them, so the Prophet ordered them to go to the (herd of milch) camels of charity and to drink, their milk and urine (as a medicine). Sahih Bukhari 8:82:794
Muhammad claimed that drinking camel urine had unfettered health benefits, claiming it cured many diseases.
In Muslim countries, many believe that camel urine holds supernatural healing powers, and it is often ingested routinely to ward off sickness. Women in the Middle East have been known to use camel urine to wash their hair and skin, believing that it makes both lustrous and healthy.
However, this medieval practice is more than just repulsive. In fact, experts warn that drinking camel urine can prove deadly because it harbors harmful bacteria and dangerous diseases.
A man collects camel urine straight from the animal. It will be consumed or sold as a health product.
The World Health Organization has alerted civilians that Middle East Respiratory Syndrome is easily spread through this religious ritual. Still, the death toll continues to rise.
Advice published on their website read: “Food hygiene practices should be observed. People should avoid drinking raw camel milk or camel urine, or eating meat that has not been properly cooked.
“Until more is understood about MERS-CoV, people with diabetes, renal failure, chronic lung disease, and immunocompromised persons are considered to be at high risk of severe disease from MERS‐CoV infection.
“Therefore, these people should avoid close contact with animals, particularly camels, when visiting farms, markets, or barn areas where the virus is known to be potentially circulating.”
This deadly virus infects both humans and animals, but camels are thought to be the
cause of the disease. Drinking their urine has spread the virus much more than simply coming into contact with the sick animals.
This repulsive and toxic treatment hasn’t slowed with expert warning. In fact, Muslim doctors continue to encourage the consumption of camel urine, neglecting to mention harmful side effects and only claiming minor benefits, such as its ability to kill certain oral bacteria.
Drinking camel urine will always be an active part of Muslim culture, since Muhammad himself ordered the practice. Every evil and harmful thing Muhammad demonstrated for his followers has been passed down throughout the centuries, and this zeal has resulted in the oppression of hundreds of millions and has hindered progress in almost every area of life.
