I wonder whether you and your readership are aware of a recent fatwa concerning planetary exploration. The General Authority of Islamic Affairs and Endowment (GAIAE) has ruled that <a href="http://www.khaleejtimes.com/kt-article-display-1.asp?xfile=data/nationgeneral/2014/February/nationgeneral_February150.xml&section=nationgeneral" rel="nofollow">Muslims may not colonize Mars</a>. To me this seems gratuitously anti-science but also a bit premature, as nobody is quite ready to go there. <a href="http://www.popsci.com/article/science/no-mars-muslims-mars-one-asks-imams-rescind-fatwa?dom=PSC&loc=recent&lnk=6&con=no-mars-for-muslims-mars-one-asks-imams-to-rescind-fatwa-" rel="nofollow">Here is the story about it in Popular Science.</a> As I understand it the objection by GAIAE is that such a trip would be tantamount to suicide. I don't know whether they considered whether the trip would be objectonable if single girls and strange young men took part, but clearly if the attempt is to colonize, then the space ship crews would have to be co-ed.Jasonhttp://elnaschiewatch.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8003335.post-8017764803655045162014-02-22T14:45:07.339+02:002014-02-22T14:45:07.339+02:00Thank you Zeinobia, indivisuals tragedy story reac...Thank you Zeinobia, indivisuals tragedy story reach stronger to the world.
