Airport Body Scanners Violate the Teachings of Islam, Says Muslim Group Thursday, February 11, 2010 By Susan Jones, Senior Editor

(CNSNews.com) - A group of Muslim scholars says it supports airline safety, but it is "deeply concerned" about the use of airport scanners that show nude images of the human body.

“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.

"It is a violation of clear Islamic teachings that men or women be seen naked by other men and women," FCNA explained. The group noted that Islam emphasizes modesty, considering it part of the faith. "The Qur'an has commanded the believers, both men and women, to cover their private parts" and to be modest in their dress.

Does the Koran forbid the screening of bodies by infidels acting in self-defense to keep innocents from getting slaughtered by maniacal followers of a false moon-god religion stuck in the 7th century?

What do Islamic teachings say about inserting plastic explosives in your loins to kill the Kufir in the West?

Where is the outrage over that?

well... since it’s against your religion, and we don’t want to offend your religion... it’ll be ok for muslims to go around the scanners. after all, it’s not a religion we are after, but crazy people.

If they don’t want to be scanned give em plan b, full body cavity search, put them in an explosion proof room and try to activate any inconsistencies with various devices..

I’m definitely for the scanners, now.

Better yet, boarding passengers must eat a plate of bacon.
