                   A Dirty Conception of Faith and A Low-Quality
                  Conception of Being a Muslim

                 Under the influence of various fabricated hadiths, fanatics adopt

             a life style that regards all manner of disgusting things as legitimate
             and filth as a way of living, and also develop a quite terrifying total
             lack of quality. For that reason there is a widely spread – and regret-
             tably "fashionable" - lack of quality in some Islamic communities. In

             the light of that conception of lack of quality, a Muslim emerges as
             someone who looks dirty, ill-kempt, uncared for, careless, crude; a
             far cry from beauty and kindness, and as someone who attaches no
             importance to beauty or manners, and who even lacks any under-
             standing of such things. If you notice, great care is always taken that
             such an impression should prevail whenever the word "Muslim" is

             mentioned.

                 It is no surprise, of course, that these people should have such a
             low-quality and squalid life style when one looks at their conception
             of Islam: There can certainly be no expectation of quality from a men-
             tality that forbids women from even plucking their eyebrows (this
             will be discussed in due course), that insists on people licking their
             hands after eating rather than washing them, and that maintains that

             a bowl of soup with a fly in it is healthy. This false conception of reli-
             gion shaped by false hadiths is so widespread that a Muslim is criti-
             cized by these people for looking pleasant and high quality.

                 This trickery under the name of Islam has pervaded the entire
             community of Islam in one way or another, and this ghastly appear-
             ance also makes other communities uneasy, of course.

                 However, there is a glorious quality in the Qur'an. As the most
             perfect applier of the Qur'an, our Prophet (pbuh) was of the best

             quality and was the most intelligent person of his time. He was
             always clean. He always wore the best quality and cleanest clothes
