Page 1 of Muslims insulted by pictures of travel adds...

Is this true or is it a figment of the papers or maybe a few radical Muslims? The pictures were in the Express today so I showed them to my Turkish female student without letting her see the headlines. I asked "Do these pictures offend you" she was taken aback (not by the pictures) but that anyone should find them offensive.
The pictures were advertising holidays & one was taken from the back of a girl in a bikini bottom, the other of the breasts sugesting (sand dunes).

There`s always someone out there who will find something offensive. People need to lighten up.

One can picture the scene

"Hello,evening standard"
"I wish to complain about an advert that has sand dunes like boobies"
"Why don`t you f..."
"I`m a Muslim"
"Right sir,stay right there sir,let`s have the details sir"

I`m not saying it`s right or wrong.
Just seems to be the way it is just now. :/
The `don`t take the mickey` alarms start ringing.

I want to write something, buts its difficult knowing what to write without being offensive... ;)

I`m insulted by the fact that the muslims are insulted by the pictures. :/

zzzzzzzzZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz Muslims are stupid.....ZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzZZZZZZZZZz look at them getting offended by pathetic little pictures.

My gran, a devout christian, was offended by these ads too. So f***ing what? Muslims havent got the monopoly on moral outrage ya know........

paull - what`s a femail?

turks themselves are not exactly devout muslims on the whole - their government has banned the headscarf from any public office, so your `sample survey` is not a good one.

I think it is a sunday magazine ;-)



...look into my eyes

Oh dear, yet another `aren`t muslims/sikhs/extremist Christians a bunch of bigotted prudes, thank God as an atheist/Christian/agnostic I`m not offended and hence I`m superior` threads. Can`t we give these particular topics a rest, guys?

True, but it`s a valid topic as it seems to deemed newsworthy by some editor and just as annoying as `aren`t the Royal Family complete idiots causing offense to `whoever` and the sooner we get rid of them the better` type threads?

Go that way, really fast. If something gets in your way, turn...

And those who dance will spin and turn,
And those who wait will wait no more,
And those who talk will hear the words,
And those who see will fade and die,
And those who laugh will surely fall,
And those who know will always feel their backs against the thin wall...
