When asked today if she will insist that Muslim women wearing hijabs must go through full body pat downs before boarding planes, Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano did not say yes or no, but told CNSNews.com there will be “adjustments” and “more to come” on the issue.

Crabzilla! At 5 Feet Tall, Biggest Known Crab Heads to UK

Posted on February 12, 2010 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Hail Crabzilla! The Japanese Spider Crab is the biggest arthropod on Earth–their legs are believed to grow up to 12 feet long. But since they live at such great depths (typically 1,000 feet down or so) a full grown spider crab has yet to be caught. So for now, we'll have to make due with the 5 foot long Crabzilla (that's what it's called–I didn't make it up!), one of the largest known crabs in the planet. According to the BBC, Crabzilla will be the biggest crab ever seen in Britain when it's brought on show at Birmingham's National Sea Life Centre. From the report: The crabs are commonly found in the Pacific in 1,000 ft (300m) deep waters but have been known to live deeper. Curator Graham Burrows said: “It is rumoured these crabs can grow as big as four metres, big enough to straddle a car. “He will absolutely dwarf the other crabs in there, but he's not aggressive and they should have nothing to worry about.” http://www.treehugger.com/files/2010/02/crabzilla-5-ft-biggest-known-crab-uk.php added by: pjacobs51

Islamic scholars forbid full-body scans for Muslims

Posted on February 12, 2010 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

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
