Islamists claim airport body scans violate Islam
February 12, 2010 Islam and the West 10 CommentsBy Glendronach
Sadly this is not from an article at The Onion:
The Fiqh Council of North America (FCNA) emphasizes that a general and public use of such scanners is against the teachings of Islam, natural law and all religions and cultures that stand for decency and modesty,” the group said in a Feb. 10 statement posted at Islam Online.
And the solution proposed by these sultans of security?
FCNA is asking for changes in scanner software so the machines will produce only body outlines.
Because then, of course, you could really detect the explosive underwear, shoes or other shahid-friendly accoutrements of passengers.
