TSA ends terrorism as we know it

Airport body scanners violate Islamic law, Muslims say

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. </em>

Thank you TSA! No worries of fighting them “over here” if they can’t get “over here”…! Excellent!

Can we bring the troops home now?
