Airport Body Scanners Violate the Teachings of Islam, Says Muslim Group
CNSNews.com ^

Posted on 02/12/2010 8:45:42 AM PST by Commonsensecommonman

The full body scanners that are all the rage at the world’s finest airports will probably soon quietly disappear. The reason; Muslims do not like them. In an article on CNSNews.com headlined “Airport Body Scanners Violate the Teachings of Islam, Says Muslim Group” we hear from Muslim scholars that apparently were not consulted prior to scanner installation. They say, “The Qur'an has commanded the believers, both men and women, to cover their private parts and to be modest in their dress.” Since our government as well as most others around the world will do anything to avoid offending Muslims the scanners will have to go.

“Airport Body Scanners Violate the Teachings of Islam, Says Muslim Group” is the title of the article.

...now if we can just convince them that the Koran also prohibits them from using aircraft.

And now? It has to be extended to breast augmentations and full body cavity searches....
yey

They should issue a fatwa against the technology of flying that the westerner created. Stay off the planes and get back on their camels!

Now, that is a risk reduction program!

They’re “deeply concerned,” about modesty.

Never mind about our concerns.

Fine by me. Force them to spend the entire flight with their fingers interlaced on top of their heads then.

Not likely. This administration will cave to their insane demands. The hell with the rest of us who have to fly.

This administration will cave to their insane demands. That's highly unlikely imo. If Muslims are offended by the scanners, I imagine that they'll either have to choose to abide by them or not fly.

Oh for crying out loud! Deeply devout Christians, especially the fundamentalist Assemblies of God members are just as fervent as Muslims about modesty (though they don't cover their women from head to toe) but I'll bet that their complaints would have gone nowhere.

This is truly the last straw. I say we make a public statement. We will honor your silly assed beliefs but one single terror act on a plane or even an attempt and we start bombing Mecca with ordnance wrapped in pig guts.

I hope you are right. But this admin is way more afraid of offending muslims thab protecting the country.

I say we recognise that islam is incompatible with the American way of life and system of government, and stop all muslim immigration.

Next time they kill a bunch of people, that message has to go national. People need to be TALKING about ending muslim immigration.

They will ALWAYS be a threat, until they own everything. Their religion FORCES them into that behavior.

Make no mistake, they WILL nuke an American city at some point. Will their immigration be stopped THEN?

Nah, we’ll probably just give Muslims a religious exemption—and let them fly without being scanned.

Changing the title of the article is a big no no.
