Muslim leaders issue a fatwa against anyone living on Mars

[Wyrd of Gawd]

A Fatwa has been issued against living on Mars by clerics who say that trying to set up home there would be un-Islamic.
The fatwa – or ruling – was issued by the General Authority of Islamic Affairs and Endowment (GAIAE) in the UAE after the Mars One organisation announced that it would try and establish a permanent human settlement on Mars.

If true, I am moving to mars, Islam can have this planet, its fucked anyway.
Then again, it is the daily mail.

Living on Mars would play hell with a muslim's prayer times and rituals. For one thing he would always have trouble locating Mecca and seeing the crescent of the moon. Some religions simply aren't space friendly.
