The Islamic religion encourages its followers to take shower every day if possible. However Islam is also a practical religion and it has never been a teaching in Islam to ask its follower to take showers every time after using the restroom.
In Islam there are at least three (3) main types of taking showers, namely:
(1) Optional shower;
(2) Encouraged shower;
(3) Obligatory shower.
Optional shower:
Optional shower is the ordinary shower we take. We can take shower as many as we like based on convenience. Muslims in South East Asia normally take shower twice a day; one in the morning before going to school / work and another in the evening.
Encouraged shower:
There are many situations that Muslims are encouraged to take shower. For example: Muslims are encouraged to take shower before going for Friday Prayer. The basic rational is to avoid any unpleasant smell (body odor) when praying with other people in a mosque.
Obligatory shower:
This is a must-to-do shower. Muslims must take shower in certain circumstances.
For example:
It is a religious obligation to take a shower after husband and wife finished having intercourse.
It is also a religious obligation for Muslim women to take shower after their menstrual periods.
In short:
Muslims are encouraged to take showers every day but not to the extent of taking showers every time after using the restroom.

No, Muslim don't shower after they use the rest room, they just wash there anus with water. The toilet bowls in Arab countries are equipped with a water jet controlled by a valve that hits your behind exactly where it should. If there is no such water jet, they fill and use a small container of water to wash their behind using their left hand only and NOT the right one.
What I have just written is not a joke, it is the truth and nothing but the truth!

Where do you hear this stuff?
It is a religion, not a different type of people.
