Islamists claim airport body scans violate Islam

9:57 am Islam and the West

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.

    Oh no. Couldn’t see that coming. Not me. What a surprise.

    These would be the same people that told us that because a Muslim went on a rampage with guns on an army base, the answer is to make guns less accessible.

    Monty Python could not have done it better.

    The answer to FCNA’s problem is for them to start Air Islam. They can transport anybody or anything (C4, simtex, nitro,etc) they choose.

    You always hear of cut-rate airline fares. How about a cut-dick airline for Muslims?

    This is getting too much, muslims want this and that, if they don’t like the way Canada handles its problems then they should go back to their homeland whatever it my be. Also they don’t have to travel by our planes.Also I don’t think that they should have their own air travel transportation because of suicide bombers.

    I can’t see the difference, can you see the difference?

    Not my problem, Fiqh Council of NA. Yours!

    I was asked “what happened on 9/11″ the other day. My answer? “Twenty Saudis under al-Qaeda leadership flew airplanes to destroy buildings.”

    The nationalities are different — Nigerian for last Christmas’s “underwear bomber”, etc. — but oddly enough all of them were co-religionists.

    Radical Islam is the problem. You solve it.

    Then none of us will need to submit to these arbitrary “security” measures.

    I am looking forward to the day when Muslims obey their fatwas and stay away from infidel airlines. I can dream, can’t I?
