UAE Islamic affairs authority warns Muslims against a mission to Mars

Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates (CNN) -- The Oscar-nominated film "Gravity" traces the harrowing tale of astronaut Ryan Stone after a mission goes horribly wrong. She's lost in space and struggles to try to make her way back to Earth.

"Gravity" is just a film. Imagine a similar real-life scenario: Would there be any chance of survival?

That's a concern for the General Authority of Islamic Affairs & Endowments, or GAIAE, the United Arab Emirates' religious watchdog, for anyone who wishes to travel to Mars. The GAIAE has issued a fatwa, or an official Islamic ruling, to warn Muslims against a Mars mission.

So far, the UAE has supported space travel. Abu Dhabi's Aabar Investments teamed up with Richard Branson's Virgin group to create Virgin Galactic to provide spaceflights for tourists, starting this year. But a mission to Mars, it seems, is one step too far.
 
Marsama Bin Laden is not happy.
 
Muslims are upset with the Katy Perry music video for melting an Allah pendant.

Fox News says about it on Fox and Friends: "Christians are the most persecuted religious group in the world. We know it, we see it - North Korea, Somalia, Syria, why aren't we worried about Christians potentially being persecuted?"

Yeah that's the issue underlying the story here.

But Christians don't persecute anyone. Just ask gays in 29 states who can be fired for being gay due to so called Christians. How about the anti-gay law in Uganda created by US Christians?

How about the Christians in Mufreesboro, TN who tried to keep their neighborhood Islamic Community Center from expanding. The community center that been been good neighbors for over three decades.

How about the Christians around the country who unified to stop the building of Muslim Community Center in Tribeca, NYC? You know the run that was to be run by the iman who had been selected by both Bushes and Clinton as an emissary to the Arab world.
