Another solution would be to send these retards to mars, that would be a win for humanity.

What if we are not alone in the universe? I mean, it is terrifying to think this bunch makes the first acquaintance with Aliens, representing the human race. Forbidding female aliens from using space ships, suicide attacks to their power reactors and shit. They would invade our world in pursuit of vengeance. Dangerous stuff, think about it...

Those so-called infidels know better about our religion than we do. Instead of declaring fatwas, we should thank them for inviting us to board with them. What thankless morons we are.

Mars One appeal for fatwa against Muslims applying to take part in trip to the Red Planet to be called off by Islamic council

However, Mars One pointed out that the Quran encourages exploration.

In a written response to the Fatwa it highlighted a verse that says 'and among His Signs is the creation of the heavens and the earth, and the variations in your languages and your colors: verily in that are Signs for those who know (Quran 30: 22)'.

It said: 'The Muslim world has a rich tradition of exploration. The verse from the Quran [above] encourages Muslims to go out and see the signs of God’s creation in the "heavens and the earth". The most influential example of this was the Moroccan Muslim traveller Ibn Battuta, who from 1325 to 1355 travelled 73,000 miles, visiting the equivalent of 44 modern countries.'

Mars One also disputed that the mission was tantamount to suicide.

The organisation said: 'Space exploration, just like Earth exploration, will come with risks and rewards. It may seem extremely dangerous to send humans to Mars today, but the humans will be preceded by at least eight cargo missions.

'Robotic unmanned vehicles will prepare the habitable settlement. Water and a breathable atmosphere will be produced inside the habitat and the settlement will be operational for two years, even before the first crew leaves Earth.

'If we may be so bold: the GAIAE should not analyze the risk as they perceive it today. The GAIAE should assess the potential risk for humans as if an unmanned habitable outpost is ready and waiting on Mars. Any progress requires taking risks, but in this case the reward is "the next giant leap for mankind". That reward is certainly worth the risks involved in this mission.'

It added: 'Mars One respectfully requests GAIAE to cancel the Fatwa and make the greatest Rihla, or journey, of all times open for Muslims, too. They can be the first Muslims to witness the signs of God’s creation in heaven, drawing upon the rich culture of travel and exploration of early Islam.

'The lives and journey of the first Mars settlers will tell us more about our place in the universe than any other humans before us. As Ibn Battuta also wrote: "Travelling - it leaves you speechless, then turns you into a storyteller."'

I'm surprised the 'palestinians' have not claimed it as theirs :omghaha:

Watch after the first Jew lands on Mars, the 'palestinians' will claim occupation.
 
Just tell them its a Christian/Jewish plot to convert the Martians and they'll change their minds and be racing to Mars.
Jews don't proselytize but Christians do. So yes, thats a good idea, just tell them that Christians are plotting to convert Martians, and they will change their mind.

Jews have landed in masses in USA but Palestinians never claimed USA as their's.

You Jews and Palestinians are obsessed with each other as much as Indians and Pakistanis are with each other.

Naa, they are obsessed with us. We barely pay them any attention. Too busy making a success of our country. That is the difference.

I was just making a joke.

You are still obsessed because you mentioned them in a thread which has nothing to do with them. Do you see those bad Arabs in your nightmares too?

This islamic authority is a joke!
 
Hence, Mars will become a peaceful Hindu hegemony!! :D
 
may be I am a very uninformed person but has anyone even thought of going to mars
 
At the same time. A lot of exploration was done by early Muslims that involved travel in high seas on not very reliable boats. Yet they did do so at great risk. The benefit was exploring new lands for people to settle in and live in. The same goes for Mars, the initial landers(if and when they do go) will pave the way for future settlements and help start a new land where resources may be found for future(200+) prospects to settle humanity as our population goes wildly out of control.
The problem Is not with exploring or even with going to Mars. The issue I have is twofold.
A) The ulema have rightly pointed out that this is a one way travel.The onfo we have to date provides very little evidence of possibility of long term (or for that matter anty term) survival on Mars . The other element that you have pointed out is benefit to humanity.You may mine areas like that but the benefit to humanity is minimal if at all. All that might come out issome fat cat making money at the expense of some poor conscripts.
 
Without oil these gulf Arab states would still be living in caves.
