Islamic scholars forbid full-body scans for Muslims

Islamic scholars issued a “fatwa” this week forbidding Muslims to go through full body scanners at airports because it violates Islamic rules on modesty. The Fiqh Council of North America, a body of Islamic scholars, issued the fatwa. The fatwa says: “It is a violation of clear Islamic teachings that men or women be seen naked by other men and women. 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.” http://www.examiner.com/x-10853-Portland-Humanist-Examiner~y2010m2d12-Religion-I… added by: locutus
