No Yoga for Muslims

I'm a pretty tolerant person but this is ridiculous.

Malaysia's top Islamic body on Saturday ruled against Muslims practicing yoga, saying it had elements of other religions that could corrupt Muslims. The National Fatwa Council's non-binding edict said yoga involves not just physical exercise but also includes Hindu spiritual elements, chanting and worship.


"It is inappropriate. It can destroy the faith of a Muslim," Council chairman Abdul Shukor Husin told reporters. He noted that clerics in Egypt issued a similar edict in 2004 that called the practice of yoga "an aberration."
