Airport body scanners violate Islamic law, Muslims say

[Whataburger]

In addition, I think every flight in the US should be a "Pork and Porn" flight with a Bethlaham Pointer instead of Mecca pointer. No burcas and turbines allowed.

That was easy

Wow. Using aircraft as WMD and trying to blow up 255 innocent people at Christmas violates my Christian law. Luckily there's still Amtrak and Greyhound..

Yeah! Pistons only! Bring back the Connies!

Funny how no one is passing any fatwas about not sneaking explosives onto airplanes or killing innocent people, but body scanners warrant an immediate religious decree.

Well, thankfully it's not the Muslim who are blowing up the airplanes. Uh, wait a minute. Yeah, let them take the bus. :angryfire

a bit more to the story ...

There's one thing though that worries me about body scanners: Possible radiation risk. The scanner by L-3 uses THZ-radiation. (some parts taken from another bb)

Terahertz radiation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

Recent scientific research by university of Tel Aviv and Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico suggest health risks are present.

RARE Online - Terahertz Radiation Increases Genomic Instability in Human Lymphocytes

"Our results demonstrate that exposure of lymphocytes in vitro to a low power density of 0.1 THz radiation induces genomic instability. These findings, if verified, may suggest that such exposure may result in an increased risk of cancer."

Technology Review: Blogs: arXiv blog: How Terahertz Waves Tear Apart DNA

"This should set the cat among the pigeons. Of course, terahertz waves are a natural part of environment, just like visible and infrared light. But a new generation of cameras are set to appear that not only record terahertz waves but also bombard us with them. And if our exposure is set to increase, the question that urgently needs answering is what level of terahertz exposure is safe."

The media focus is on privacy issues from many sides; important, but one should not forget health issues. As a flight crew member, I don't want to be exposed to radiation risk and pay the price because of nutcases who try to blow up planes. Profile, I say.

No burcas and turbines allowed.

and no fat chicks! That violates my eye-candy law!

Just part of the plan to spread their religion around the world, and eventually take over America...Not live in co-existence, like Jews, Christians and others do, but literally take over.

I'm pretty sure the 4th amendment was written to protect ourselves from this stuff.

Quote:
The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.

It was, and still does. However, to fly you will have to give up some of your rights. Otherwise, you can drive to your destination, that way you don't have to give up your rights.

We give up rights all the time so that we can do certain things, or participate in certian things. Flying is a privledge, it is not a right. Keep your rights and don't fly. Fly, then give up some of your rights. It is easy.

Just my opinion.......

Blowing up airplanes violates humanity.

Well to be fair, I'm pretty sure murder violates Islamic law, not to mention mass murder. But on that note, as far as muslims believing that full body scanners violate islamic law, they seem to forget that most of the world could give a sh** about Islamic law. This is not an Islamic country and as such, whether or not somthing violates some medieval law is of no concern to me or probably most other Americans.

As long as psychos are putting bombs in thier boxers, them we need to be checking people's underwear. Pretty friggin simple. Don't like it? Don't fly.

 

[Cometman]

Is it a requirerment to go through a scanner? I thought you could request a pat down instead of going through a scanner. If that is the case nothing will change.

ALL ABOARD THE FAIL TRAIN!!!

Apolitical Abernathy has shown the dangers inherent in the ostrich's head in the sand approach to "uncomfortable" realities. Di'ent work for Nardless Chamberlin with Uncle Adolf, and it won't/isn't working with the current scourge of oil rich sheik supported, one way ticket to 72 White Grapes TM muzzie wackadoos.*

How about you start being fair (toss in balanced too, for us knuckle draggers) to the truth, not just those you abhor "offending!"

"I am pretty sure murder violates muzzie law, not to mention mass murder."

This easily qualifies as the most wrong-headed ignoranus-like statement of this young year of our Lord, 2010 A.D. (Extra Crispy Christian dating system employed, jes to break the libertards ballzax)

I am not going to quote you verse, psalm and scripture, or fatwa, koran, and "the other muzzie gospel" (which has the real juicy chopping of limbs, beheadings, and general genocide). You know what "the other" gospel is right?

There are so many simple ways to prove your statement false, I will simply leave that as settled. I can lead a horse's ass to water, but I cannot make you drink, esp. if you are full of PC Kool-Aid TM.

You are also incorrect in stating that "most of the world doesn't care about Islamic law." Score that by who is willing to step up and TAKE ACTION. Like what if there was a Coalition of the Willing TM, (we could call it that frinstance, or is that taken?) who stood up to intolerance, tyranny and violence, meeting force with force? That is who doesn't care about Islamic law. It is more accurate to state that they care enough to send the very best TM (the USMC, Special Forces, Navy Seals, hell's bells, all our young mens and womens for that matter in the volunteer military). They don't care sounds just immature and simplistic.

Just read more, or post less, and I will rant less, I swear to Allah (who is the same dood as God)

Seacrest OUT!

* For those without the time to research these things, under recent increased attention, the islamic texts refering to 72 virgins as a reward for the dead muzzie murderer in the afterlife has proven to NOT EXIST AT ALL! The actual text refers specifically to 72 "white grapes" as the jihadists reward. No poop! A little overenthusiatic propaganda spin by the mullahs who want others to do the durty work they conspicuously dodge, me thinks. So sorry, Mohammad! You were a miserable master baiter on Earff and shall remain so in your even hotter than Mecca sentance in hell!
