Saying that body scanners violate Islamic law, Muslim-American groups are supporting a “fatwa” – a religious ruling – that forbids Muslims from going through the scanners at airports.
The Fiqh Council of North America – a body of Islamic scholars that includes some from Michigan – issued a fatwa this week that says going through the airport scanners would violate Islamic rules on modesty.
“It is a violation of clear Islamic teachings that men or women be seen naked by other men and women,” reads the fatwa issued Tuesday. “Islam highly emphasizes haya (modesty) and considers it part of faith. The Quran has commanded the believers, both men and women, to cover their private parts.”
The decision could complicate efforts to intensify screening of potential terrorists who are Muslim. After the Christmas Day bombing attempt in Detroit by a Muslim suspect from Nigeria, some have called for the use of body scanners at airports to find explosives and other dangerous materials carried by terrorists. Some airports are now in the process of buying and using the body scanners, which show in graphic detail the outlines of a person’s body.
But Muslim groups say the scanners go against their religion. One option offered to passengers who don’t want to use the scanners would be a pat down by a security guard. The Muslim groups are urging members to undergo those instead. Freep.comMuslim Law violates human dignity, in the way it treats women, so  on you. I have a second idea to avoid the scanners, don't fly. |

Simple solution.... No more flying for the Muslims. Won't bother me a bit. I'm tired of looking at every damn one of them - and at all the stuff they are carrying - before I get on a plane....and wondering if they are who they appear to be or if they are going to blow up the airport or airplane. And it really bugs me that I'm the one getting pulled over going through security....and they walk right through! I don't mind being "wanded"....but I've yet to set a middle eastern appearing person over there with me!  |

Just hand over the chocolate...back away slowly...far away....and you won't get hurt....
Save the Earth... it's the only planet with chocolate.

A balanced diet is chocolate in both hands.

Hmmm... and our laws require us to cover our private parts. So we don't have to go through either!  |

Terror Talk Growing Louder on the Web
Exclusive: U.S. Intel Officials Seeing Spike in al Qaeda-Linked Internet Chatter Focused on Ways to Thwart Airport Security
On one radical website, a writer invites fellow members to post information on how to bypass airport screening.
Another member asks about explosive detection devices, writing: "We have that system in place in Algiers...does anyone know if it's capable of detecting [the flammable gas] butane?"
On another Jihadist site, a visitor questions security involving 3D scanners at British airports asking: "Can I refuse [to pass through] for religious reasons?"
Perhaps most disturbing -- the recent discovery of a confidential TSA document on a Yemeni Web site discussing the rules for searching passengers. http://www.cbsnews.com/st...tigates/main6202853.shtml |

Freedom is not for government to give.
But it is for all of us to ensure that government does not take away.

The only real danger in flying is muslims. If the Queeran and political correctness exempts them, there's no purpose served by the scanners.
