Malaysia’s National Fatwa Council is going to impose Fatwa on Yoga after Zakaria Stapa, a lecturer of University of Kebangsaan’s Islamic Studies Centre, on Tuesday advised Muslims who have taken up Yoga to stop practising it fearing that it could deviate their belief, local news reports said in Kuala Lumpur on Tuesday.
“A ruling would be made by the council’s Chairman, Abdul Shukor Husin, in this regard,” Deputy Director-General of the Department of Islamic Development Malaysia, Othman Mustapha, quoted as saying by New Straits Times online edition.

It is very very strange and it is high time our muslim brothers stand up against the small groups of people who dictate religion.
I believe, we Hindu's should issue fatwa to finish this kind of fatwa practised against other religions by some Muslim clerics. We should fight all kinds of fanaticism including the Bajrang dal and Raj Thackeray types.
To go after yoga in terms of banning it, should how stupid the Malaysian Religious administration is. It even is absurd for the government of that country to accomodate such ignorant and deviant religious leaders. Next thing they will announce that terrorism against religious and blasting of Buddha statues are good for their religion. No wonder this world is not safe and is due to such people.
India should impose a fatwa (exit tax) on tourists to Malaysia. Their tourism industry depends on us. India must also stop importing palm oil from Malaysia. They mistreat Hindus and this is just one manifestation of that hatred. In today's world everything is ruled by economics. To punish Malaysia's racist policies, we must boycott that country and its products and urge our friends to do that too.
The immense benefits of Yoga should reach muslims without fear of deviation.The clerics should just change the words of sanskrit origin and allow followers to practice yoga.
Yoga is not belong to a particular religious belief. It is a Health Science. Some of Yoga part given birth to physio Therapy, which is now equivalent to MBBS. A good number of muslims in India, a number of Christians around the world ofcourse many Hindus are practicing Ygoa and improving their physical ailments mental stress etc. Many Multinational Companies are advising their staff to practice Yoga for relaxation from stress. It rejunevate the energy which loss due to stress. It is wondering how Malayasia treating Yoga is other religious belief. I pray god to give wisdom to Malasians, stupids, only in Asia.
It shows the sign of ignorance and stupidity of that religion and its believers/followers. Andhera Kayamho. logn live Blind islam.
