TAKE MY WORDS....SOON EVERY AIRPORT WILL DO IT...under the pressure of so-called civilized world of europe and north america!!!!!!!!!!!![/quote] [/quote][blue]These security people are so lazy that they do not want to get up and do pat search. They think they can sit in front of the scanner screen and complete their duty at the click of a button.

Wasnt that news from India? So far no Fatwa seems to have been issued by the Deobandis or their counterpart Tahirul Qadri who have hit the headlines for issuing Fatwa on other matters.

Several human rights and religious groups have expressed their disapproval and opposition of such scanners on the grounds of violation of privacy and human dignity. From amongst these groups, The Fiqh Council of North America and Shaikh Haitham al-Haddad, London, UK have published their fatwa.

Here are some excerpts:

We must remember that each one of us will be held accountable for the failure to act in forbidding evil and calling for righteousness.

It is compulsory for all Muslims to exert every possible effort to prevent the implementation of Body Scanners. At present it is merely in its trial phase whereby airports are attempting to normalize the procedure with a view to normalize the validity of its use in the minds of common individuals.

It should be condemned by working with civil liberty groups and lawyers to expose its violation of basic human rights that are also protected by Islam.

Muslims living in Muslim countries should also apply pressure on their governments to exercise their influence on western governments to stop the use of these scanners. This includes the refusal to send their students or citizens to such countries in which these scanners are in operation.

Muslims elsewhere are commanded by the scholars who have issued the Fatwa to forbid this iniquity as much as they can by boycotting countries and sending letters of condemnation to the embassies of such governments involved.[/blue][/quote]
