If Christians griped about this across from a church the media would laugh at them.

That's just it. I DO find this offensive. But I know if I complained about it as a Christian, I would be laughed it--even by other Freepers. Why do Muslims get the kind of consideration we can't get in a supposed Christian society?

You may be right, but if memory serves, there was a thread not too long ago on a strip bar or something similar located across from a church.

Yeah, but Freepers wouldn't. Everyone has a double standard.

"The picture of a scantily-clad woman has been plastered across a billboard in Conduit Street, Leicester, opposite the Central Mosque."

One of them said that this is not something you want to look at while your having prayers. I ask, "Then, WHEN is the time that Muslims like to look at it?"

My wife and I are becoming increasingly offended at the nudity in publicly placed advertising (billboards, etc.), and it is often advertising things that, in themselves, are not even related to sex. But the advertisers feel they have to sex these things up. Unless you keep children blindfolded, they are going to face it in our cities day-after-day-after-day. Such public advertising is not a Muslim vs. Christian vs. Jew thing. Using the sex angle to sell everything is harmful to society in general, regardless of whether the religious present.
