    Historically speaking, this was sometimes used as pretext for the permanent separation of children from their parents. This is a form of genocide according to article 2.5 of the UN definition:

    That's what I am thinking. Religiously, it doesn't even mean anything. Islam is a bit flexible in that it allows sin/haram when forced by others (or even circumstances like health issues)

    Also Christianity is an abrahamic religion AND hygiene is considered sacred in Islam. So from religious perspective, most muslims wouldn't even care.

    Maybe the guy just want to waterboard foreigners and foreigner sympathizers? Most likely they want another case of "first we test-run on one minority, next we go for others."
