[Reader-list] Body scanning violation of Sharia

[Javed]

Dear Bipin
Although I am neither their official (or unofficial) spokesperson nor
do I endorse their fatwas, but below is a list of links where you can
find fatwas issued by the Deoband seminary AGAINST TERRORISM (not that
these make any difference). Kindly also note that a fatwa is not an
order or a decree, nor it is legally binding on any one. Literally,
fatwa means an opinion. But the word has been made out to be something
horrible - like a missile issued by a Ayatollah Khomieni.
