Islamic Fatwa Forbids Yoga

As a collection of spiritual techniques and practices, integrating mind, body and spirit, yoga could distort Islamic beliefs. Therefore, the mufti, Ali Gomoa, has signed a religious edict calling the practice of yoga "an aberration" that violates Islamic law. It's not clear what the punishment is for violations.

Somebody probably could make a few dollars by developing a computer program to track what's forbidden by Islam and predict what will someday be forbidden.
