As an added security measure to help alleviate the time it takes to get through the airport security checks, while also enabling security to better be able to spot potential terrorist implements, such as the placement of the incendiary device on the Christmas Bomber, Full Body Security Scanners (also called Nude-body scanners) are being installed at various airports in the United States and Europe.
The Detroit based Fiqh Council of North America (FCNA) emphasizes that a general and public use of such scanners is against the teachings of Islam, natural law and all religions and cultures that stand for decency and modesty.
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 Qur’an has commanded the believers, both men and women, to cover their private parts.
With Islam issuing a fatwa against body scanners, it tells me that they desire to not participate in that security measure because, as stated above, it is against the teachings of Islam.
If Muslims don't wish to be scanned because such security measures are not allowed by their religion, then don't fly.
The security procedures in place were initiated because of the Islamic ideology's war against The West, and it would be insane to allow people who are members of Islam to walk on by because Islam doesn't allow for such procedures, while everyone else is stuck at the airport for an extra hour or two trying to get through security.
Flying is a luxury, and if the airline industry decides these scanners are necessary, deal with it, or take the Greyhound.
