Basically, [the Tigris river is] an open sewer

Shrugging off concerns of environmentalists, white-robed worshippers of the Sabea Mandean Nation, a relic of the ancient Gnostic religions, took their weekly dip in the Tigris to purify their souls.

Reminds me of that scene in the Naked Gun 2

Not far away, fisherman in a wooden boat cast a net into the water as if on a countryside lake, while laughing children tumbled into the river from the bank to cool off.

Give me a friggen break. man, I hate journalists.


Oh, and reread the article, the worshippers are smart enough to do this upstream from the pollution.
