She is supposed to be advertising a sexy bikini.
But instead the model on this poster, in Birmingham, has been defaced in an act of vandalism blamed on militant Muslims who were offended by her flesh.
Similar acts of vandalism have been carried out in the London borough of Tower Hamlets. Police there also believe extremists are responsible.
The advert, which promotes a £3.99 bikini top from high-street fashion retailer H&M, a scantily-dressed model stands on a sun-kissed, white sand beach.
The freestanding advertising unit, stands in the Balsall Heath area of Birmingham, which has a large Muslim population.
Across the road from 'Muslim Students House Masjeed', an education centre, the poster is next to a busy main road.
The fact that almost all of the model's flesh has been covered has led local residents to speculate that the vandalism was not random, but a religiously-motivated targetted attack.
Delivery driver Robert Tonkins, 45, said: "You see a lot of women wearing the hijab around here, and what's been done to that poster looks very similar to it.
'I don't think it's just kids messing around - they've spray-painted specific areas and covered up anything that might be offensive to very religious people.

In the Muzim mind, it’s OK to beat up women and stone them to death, but it’s not OK to look at them.

Council information on rear?
That’s one way to get people to pay attention to it.

Well that settles it! We now know who runs Britain (Great omitted intentionally). It is not the immoral white Caucasians, it is the upright, religious, Allah-fearing, PC correct Muslims.

I'm not too sure I see a great deal of difference between this exercise in the withdrawl of free speech by a muslim....and the religious zealots who persist in planting huge, white painted crosses on hills next to the highways.
Religious zealotry is religious zealotry.

Maybe they’re becoming more civilized. Rather than chopping off heads, they resort to spray paint vandalism like the yutes. Nawwwwww!

I'm not too sure I see a great deal of difference between this exercise in the withdrawl of free speech by a muslim....and the religious zealots who persist in planting huge, white painted crosses on hills next to the highways. I see a huge difference between members of "Group M" covering other peoples' private property with spray paint, and members of "Group C" erecting religious symbols on their own private property.
Perhaps if you apply a bit of logic and reason to the problem then you, too, will see the difference.
