Airport Body Scanners Violate the Teachings of Islam, Says Muslim Group

This linked article cites a statement by a group that calls itself "The Fiqh Council of North America." By this statement this group aligns itself with those who enable terrorism by their actions or inactions while claiming to be innocent.

Perhaps this group should look at the reasons behind the necessity for body scanners before it pontificates on the "teachings of Islam, natural law and all religions and cultures." I am reasonably certain that the murder of innocent civilians by terrorist bombers rates significantly higher in the order of things that would violate the "teachings of Islam, natural law and all religions and cultures." In fact, I would posit that it's right at the top of the list.

But that is not important to this group and the Fiqh Council of North America needs to be reminded that we are not a Muslim nation despite the self-serving statement of Obama. We are a nation where all religions are equal and secular law, not shari'ah law, is the law of the land. The safety of our citizens as they travel on airplanes is significantly more important to Americans than the faux decency and modesty that is more from the traditions of the desert tribes than the Koran.

If that is unacceptable to them then they have the option of moving to the Islamic country of their choice.
