I'll bet you thought body scanners were un-Islamic. After all, didn't the Fiqh Council of North America just say so? And yet here they are being installed in, of all places, the Islamic Republic of Iran -- here is the Fars News Agency story (thanks to Block Ness).
Should the Islamic Republic of Iran be renamed the Misunderstanders of Islam Republic of Iran? Or is this a Sunni/Shi'ite thing, with the Sunnis of the Fiqh Council being all uptight while those insoucient, mystically-minded Shia have no problem with appearing buck naked in front of the prying, hungry eyes of kuffar TSA personnel?
Unlikely. More likely is the fact that there is nothing really Islamically objectionable about body scanners, but if the Fiqh Council can intimidate the clueless, hopelessly compromised dhimmis of the TSA to allow an exemption for Muslims, they will have enabled the jihad against the West to advance that much more smoothly and unimpeded.
even muslims cannot trust other muslims, that is a fact, you know what can be hid in those black sacks over women.

Ha ha! As for the above, this is what images look like on body scanners—not exactly the photographic standards of the Playboy centerfold—even if the person in the example below had the bod for it:

Just blurry opaque whiteness—except for that concealed weapon, that is. I'm not a big fan of body scanners, but mostly because I already find metal detectors, shoe removal, and stuffing all your toiletries into 3oz containers intrusive enough as it is.

I can find references to Wudu baths at the Indianapolis airport, at Minneapolis and in Kansas City—but *no* reference for Tehran, Istanbul, Baghdad, Cairo, Jakarta or any other airport in Dar-al-Islam.
So far as I've been able to tell, Miira, this seems to be more BS for the naive and accommodating Kufr.
