“Muslims ‘warned in Fatwa not to live on Mars’”
How are they going to get there? On a flatulent camel?
If Sura 4:29 says do not kill yourself or another, then suicide bombers violate that verse in two ways.
They can have Venus instead
Sending 4 muzzies to Mars would be a good start. I would contribute to that fund.
Charles Bolden and Barack Obastard are deeply saddened and wonder why the NASA self-esteem program hasn’t worked.
Actually this “fatwa” makes some sense. Whoever agrees to a one way trip to a barren planet, however unique and exciting,is in essence agreeing to forfeit his or her life .Philosophically it would seem this is being done not for unique scientific knowledge but essentially as a self gratifying act. Ethically self gratifying destructive acts are immoral .However if the sacrifice can be shown to benefit others in a tangible, real sense, it may be ethical.
Geraldo Rivera already called shotgun on that trip.
Mars ain’t the kind of place to raise your kids.

“Such a one-way journey poses a real risk to life, and that can never be justified in Islam,”...HUH??
The value of real estate on Mars just increased significantly.
