[beowolfe]

My reaction to them is the same that it was to the sexually repressed christians that have complained about them.........tough chit.

REality trumps your fantasy., Don't like it, don't fly. Sorry, the rest of our safety trumps stupid religious beliefs

DETROIT - A group of Muslim-American scholars has issued a religious ruling that calls upon the faithful to not go through body scanners because the scholars say the machines violate Islamic rules on nudity.

A growing number of body scanners, 450 more of them this year, are to be introduced in airports in Michigan and across the United States, say Transportation Security Administration officials.

Their increased use - several go online at Logan International Airport tomorrow - comes after the Dec. 25 bombing attempt on an airliner over Detroit, heightening fears of terrorism. The suspect in the failed bombing is a Nigerian Muslim.

The Fiqh Council of North America, based in Indiana, said the scanners contravene Islamic law, which is grounded in the Koran. The council consists of an executive council and 10 scholars.

“It is a violation of clear Islamic teachings that men or women be seen naked by other men and women,” reads the order, called a fatwa. “Islam highly emphasizes haya (modesty) and considers it part of faith. The (Koran) has commanded the believers, both men and women, to cover their private parts.”

Airport scanners violate Muslim faith

Muslims should just start their own airline. They can even bring their camels with them.

Let's see. It offends their modesty but they're ok with stonning men and women to death now and then. What's wrong with this picture?

But those being stoned are properly clothed.

Aren't yews and Christians supposed to stone unfaithful wives to death as well?

This might make for some interesting Airline company names.

Good, since Muslims are the ones blowing up and hijacking air craft less of them flying is a GOOD thing.

I see you're forgetting about Austin, TX.

It doesn't violate my faith. But it does violate me. I'm not a terrorist and I object to being treated as if I am.

 

[Kalam]

Nonsense. I'm not purposefully revealing anything and I won't be held accountable for doing so. I'll continue flying and the TSA will continue to pull me aside for "random" additional screening every time I go through airport security.

Pretty much. And you can always say you have a pacemaker or come through security in a wheelchair...like I said above, the scanners are stupid and a waste of money.
