Muslims Outraged After Camel Urine Drink Seller Sold Own Urine Instead

“I have been using camel urine since I have been going to elementary school”

Drinking camel urine, like beheading non-Muslims and marrying 7-year-old girls, is one of those disgusting customs upheld by the Koran and the Hadiths.

Narrated Anas: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).

Like most Koran stories, this one ended ISIS-style with torture, murder and mutilation.

Muhammad then ordered to cut off their hands and feet (and it was done), and as well their eyes were branded with heated pieces of iron rods. They were put in ‘Al-Harrah’ and when they asked for water; no water was given to them”, till they died of extreme thirst!

I don't think even ISIS has gotten around to this one. Mohammed was even more of a horrifying monster than his ISIS successors.

But camel urine is still considered a magical medicine that cures all Muslim ills. Except it doesn't seem to cure the lack of a conscience. Especially in Saudi Arabia, which is camel central.

According to the Arab TV network al-Arabiya, hair salons throughout the country are requesting this precious ‘tonic’ and selling it at four dollars a litre – a high price considering the income level of most of the buyers.

“I have been using camel urine since I have been going to elementary school,” said Amal, a university student in Sanaa.

“The first time a neighbour told me that she had been using it (urine) for many years, because it made her hair more beautiful and shiny. Now everyone in my home uses it.”

So of course there's bottled camel urine for sale to the public because Islam seems to be some sort of horrible joke that Mohammed played on Muslims. Except one camel urine vendor decided to cut costs by swapping in his own urine.

Saudi authorities have closed down a shop selling traditional camel urine drinks after discovering the owner had been filling the bottles with his own bodily waste.

Health inspectors swooped on a vendor in the port city of Al Qunfudhah, in south-western Saudi Arabia, and confiscated more than 70 full bottles.

The traditional camel urine drink is believed to have originated from a passage in the Hadith.

The World Health Organisation (WHO), however, has warned against drinking it.

You don't say.

But can you blame the poor man for cutting out the middleman? If you're going to drink urine, can you really complain about the source?
