"The last thing we want to do is cause anybody any offence."

That's right. Apologize for your culture and country, dhimmi; 7th Century tribal cultures are vastly superior, doncha know.

In fairness, I think many Christian churches would also object to such ads being posted in the immediate vicinity of their houses of worship. A few years back, the city bus stop shelter right next to the largest mosque in Manhattan sported a larger-than-life close-up of a woman wearing itsy bitsy bikini underpants. For many worshippers, this bus stop would not be reasonably avoidable. The poster mysteriously disappeared a week or so after it went up, and presumably wasn't removed by authorized personnel since the ad space then remained empty for some time. It is insensitive to put up ads like that in a place where it's guaranteed to offend a huge number of people. I expect the patrons of St. Patrick's Cathedral would have responded in a similar manner.

Eff em! It's a free country isn't it? At least I think the United Kingdom is a free country.....

[sageb1]

It would be more offensive to me to have to view a mosque from my window.

Solution, go back to Saudi Arabia.

"The poster has caused a lot of offence to a community that has very high standards.

High standards, eh? Like these high standards:

• muslim state-sponsored "honor killings"
• in many muslim states, converting to a religion other than muslim is a capital offense
• support of international terrorism through charity scams that all members are required to contribute to, regardless of poverty level
• openly supporting the random torture-murder and homicide bombing of Israeli civilians
• carrying the mainstream view that America got what it deserved on Sept. 11th and the advocation for further attacks while publicly stating that the Sept. 11th attacks were staged by the U.S. Government
• issuing death fatwas to authors that criticize islam

I'm real impressed with the islamics' "high standards".

"the media company we use for advertising has gone through all the right channels"

Sounds like the media company did a very good job. All they had to do was put up one billboard poster and they've got local media coverage and now are being discussed on international websites! I reckon, wait a week, then take the thing down and apologise for any offence caused and that should be enough for another newspaper story.

I just hope the media company are on commission!

"There's enough immorality in the world and to impose something like this on Muslims is totally unacceptable."

Right. Go stick it in front of a Christian church. We wouldn't want islamites offended.

[Fawn]

As I stated in another thread.....at a University Library....an employee told a student to get rid of his gum...because it was rude to eat something when the Muslims were fasting....

Answering the lewd behavior complaint call, the officers were greeted by a little old lady on the fourth floor who told them, "The man on the second floor across the alleyway does his exercises in the nude, and I'm forced to look at it."

One of the officers looked out the window she pointed to, but couldn't see anything. She responded, "Well, if you climb up on this ladder and lean all the way over to the left, you can see right into his window."

[Danae]

How bout pics of the people beheaded by Muslims instead? Where's the outrage about that? Hypocrites.

[Paved Paradise]

The funny thing is they would've been REALLY mad had it been a poster of Winnie the Pooh and Piglet!

[ZULU]

Well then, move your mosque - like to Saudi Arabia or some other God-forsaken cesspool like that.

British women are attractive - that's why they don't wrap up in burquas. But then they don't have to bear lots of kids, and do menial servile labor for a polygamist who worships a moon god.

DUH! If you don't like what is posted on the board, take up a collection, rent the damn board and post whatever your want!

[Tennessee_Bob]

It's not the kind of thing you want to see when you are doing your prayers.

I don't know about y'all - but if I look up from saying my prayers and there's a scantily clad woman in my room...

[nightdriver]

"There's enough immorality in the world and to impose something like this on Muslims is totally unacceptable."

Well, then, how about replacing the billboard with one showing a good ol' bloody beheading, complete with supporting verses from the koran?

[null and void]

No pictures of the offending billboard, but....

There, that's better.

[airborne]

Muslims who think theirs is the only way offend me more than strippers who do not threaten to kill me if I don't come to se them.

[O6ret]

Muslims who worship there said they found it offensive.

So what don't Muslims find offensive about 21st century living?

[CodeToad]

They can always take their religious views to a community that gives a crap. Islam is offended by everything not Islam. Islam does not rule the United States, so they can just take their murdering cult to a country that will allow them to run the place.
