Is it true there is no Arabic word for deodorant?
Just for your information since you seem very educated. That's an Indian not an Arab
And regardless it's pretty ignorant. I am white but imagine I post a picture of a white trash alcoholic druggie junkie image and go look at how dirty this white woman is? Or how about stereotyping white american females.
Eg:
Muslim Arabs practically invented the modern shampoo, soap, deodorant and perfume industry. Romans before medieval Europe had 'soaps' but they were not as sophisticated, especially when you learn Romans used URINE in their 'formula'. They certainly were not scented as scented soaps were 100% an arab muslim invention.
The writings attributed to the 8th-century Arab savant Jabir ibn Hayyan (Geber) repeatedly mention soap as a cleansing agent. The Arabs made the soap from vegetable oil as olive oil or some aromatic oils such as thyme oil. Sodium Lye (Al-Soda Al-Kawia) NaOH was used for the first time and the formula hasn't changed from the current soap sold in the market. From the beginning of the 7th century soap was produced in Nablus (Palestine), Kufa (Iraq) and Basra (Iraq). Arabian Soap was perfumed and colored, some of the soaps were liquid and others were hard. They also had special soap for shaving. It was commercially sold for 3 Dirhams (0.3 Dinars) a piece in 981 AD.
Europeans didn't shower. The british royals hired a muslim in the mid 1800s to be their 'shower surgeon' in instructing the royals how to shower. Pretty funny stuff.
One of the things that kind of 'shocked' and awoke europe was christian pilgrims and later crusaders coming back from the Muslim world bringing back intricate materials and perfumes. Something Europeans never saw beyond their lint clothing and shower once a year maybe life style.
