fatwa: Airport scanners against our religion

feb 17th, 2010

isn't flying in planes against their religion too? i doubt if the koran allows any flying except atop winged horses.

Muslim-American groups are supporting a "fatwa" that forbids Muslims from going through the scanners at airports.

then don't fly... that way they can spare rest of us from this inconvenience.

If any thing, body scans must be made mandatory for muslims. Otherwise, the whole purpose of these equipment is lost.

airport scanners: contrary to Islam

explosive-sniffing dogs: contrary to Islam

body-frisking: contrary to Islam

taking out flight insurance: very, very Islamic!

At the end of the report: "... The Muslim groups are urging members to undergo patdowns instead."

Never mind the Freudian anatomical reference but this is truly bizarre. One would think that something non-invasive like a scan would be preferred to a patdown.
Maybe they are just looking for a cheap feel.
