Muslim Pundit Has A Blunt Hygiene Question For America — And He's Not Letting It Go

Wajahat Ali is hoping to flush out white supremacists with a crack about their bathroom hygiene. The author of “Go Back To Where You Came From ... And Other Helpful Recommendations on How to Become American” recently did an interview on Zeteo with his old friend and fellow Muslim political pundit Mehdi Hasan. During the discussion, Ali ridiculed the notion that nonwhite people are “dirty” with a simple observation about U.S. hate groups like the KKK and Patriot Front: “If you don’t wash your ass, you cannot be the master race.” He reiterated to an amused Hasan, “You have to come back to me with a clean ass, and then I will entertain your argument. That’s where I stand.” Hasan found no fault with Ali’s thinking. “There’s a pure logic to it,” he said before remembering a video he once saw questioning why Americans don’t use bidets as part of their bathroom hygiene. “He’s like, ‘If you had shit on your arm, would you wipe it off with a piece of paper?’” “Repeatedly!” Ali interjected. “Would you just wipe it with tissue paper?” Hasan continued, while he and Ali got the giggles. “Until it bleeds!” Ali added. “OK, that’s too much information,” Hasan conceded before he and Ali went into detail about hygienic customs in South and Southeast Asia, which you can learn more about at the link below. Why don't people wash their asses? Just toilet paper? Sorry, what?A vitally important conversation on 'We're Not Kidding' featuring lotas, hand bidets, and @WajahatAli. You'll appreciate it. I promise.Full show on fascism and racism and more: https://t.co/SifanIG4FH pic.twitter.com/9rtZElQu7b By entering your email and clicking Sign Up, you're agreeing to let us send you customized marketing messages about us and our advertising partners.
