signalsHand Gel Controversy
July 29th 2009 15:40
The Koran bans Muslims from consuming alcohol, so I've heard. I know a few that don't practice these beliefs, while Muslim-owned stores sell many an alcoholic beverage at a low price. This isn't about alcohol consumption and Islam, instead it is about how things can go to the extreme in a hurry!
Anybody who uses those anti-bacterial gels for hand cleaning knows they contain alcohol. I guess in Britain is trying to control the spread of Swine Flu and requires its use. Unfortunately, some Muslims refuse to use the alcohol-base hand gel due to beliefs. I fail to see how this is 'consumed' alcohol, and have to chock it up to non-conformists.
The argument is laughable because I have to wonder why they just don't use good old fashion S-O-A-P! I think washing hands is far better than using a dry hand-gel that is obviously making the maker rich!
Hand washing is a lost art it seems. Our manners and hygiene habits are what is spreading flus, not the non use of gels.
