A SAUDI sheikh has issued a fatwa against anyone wanting to travel to Mars.

A member Saudi Arabia's board of religious scholars Sheikh Ali al Hemki has criticised the Mars One project which is attempting to organise a commercial mission to the red planet and has drawnexpressions of interest from more than 200 thousand people worldwide.

The Ah Hayat newspaper quotes him as saying the mission does not conform to "responsible Muslim" practices.

"These experiments will lead to the destruction of those who try," and so should be done with animals, not people," he said.

While 477 Saudi citizens have applied for the mission, only six have so far been accepted.

Successful applicants will have to say goodbye to Earth forever, with the first crew of four people expected to launch into space for their seven months journey to Mars in 2022.

He is absolutely correct. A Muslim willing to sacrifice his life over some "no man land" planet? What an idiot, no sane Muslim would participate in this.

Jahanam is welcoming you dear six citizens, think first.

Is this a suicidal mission? If it is then he is absolutely correct. A Muslim willing to sacrifice his life over some "no man land" planet? What an idiot.

What about the clown who blows himself up in a suicide mission, killing innocent men women and children? But no fatwa against this by the Saudi cleric? What an idiot!

Actually the money should be invested in creating Free Education and Health Care all over Saudi Arabia and in a separate manner like Separate for Girls and Boys. They should also invest in housing in order to give their people best housing facility on cheaper or subsidized rates... This can help them a lot.
