Why do the majority of muslims carry a smell that is somewhat reminiscent of curry powder. The smell seems to be even stronger when the muslim becomes sweaty. The smell sometimes becomes so severe that it resembles that of a Chicken Korma. I am interested in scientific analysis only, please.

Indian and Pakistani cuisine contain a lot of garlic, tumeric, and cumin, among many other spices. These spices have lots of great health-giving properties, but they also come out in your sweat to a certain extent.

However, if a person smells very heavily of Indian food, they probably just did some cooking. Indian and Pakistani food tends to be the slow-cooking variety that was originally intended to be cooked outside the home, so unless the person has an enclosed kitchen, the smell of food tends to permeate the house.

Many clinical studies have shown tumeric to be a powerful aid in preventing cancer, so I would think that smelling like Chicken Korma on a hot day is a small price to pay.

Finally, keep in mind that there are many Indian Sikhs in the U.S. and UK whom are often mistaken for Muslim. In Sikh religious tradition, laypeople perform community service at their temple and it always includes serving food, and often cooking it. Older people especially will often spend at least an hour every day cooking at the temple, or even all day if it is a special event.

Islam is a third global faith for losers. there is not an Islamic usa in this earth it truly is a present day liberal democracy with a good accepted of residing. Turkey comes closest because they conflict very troublesome to keep faith out of public affairs (besides the actual incontrovertible truth that the Islamists are literally attempting to pull it lower back into the middle a lengthy time period). the really reason Islam is getting extra publicity now's because Muslims have left their own poverty bothered oppressed international places and fled to the liberal, rich west. Islam does no fit in any respect nicely with civilised societies, consequently the conflict. yet do not worry, Islam has lost each conflict with the West for the merely good one thousand years. This one will be no diverse.

Hmmm I have been with many muslim men, and now I am married to one. Curry is usually associated with eastern indians not muslims. My husband is from egypt and when he sweats it's very mediterranean to me and sexy, not curry like at all. I also had a boyfriend from tunisia that I lived with for 4 months in tunisia, and he smelled like sweaty feet sometimes and fish because he liked to fish. Curry = indians, indians usually = hindu.
