About friggin time yoga had a fatwa!

No more downward facing dog, salutation seal or upside-down tortoise for Muslims in Malaysia , yoga has just been banned (sorry dudes). The National Fatwa Council (gosh, didn’t know they existed) just issued a fatwa (edict) on yoga because it includes Hindu spiritual elements, basically chanting and worship. Council chairman Abdul Shukor Husin told reporters “It is inappropriate. It can destroy the faith of a Muslim,” Hmm, seems the ultimate aim of yoga is to be one with a god of a different religion (crap and here I thought it was just about exercise!). Mikaeel need not worry, I don’t think crotch grabbing is a yoga move!
