"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.

The sexuality in many advertisements even things intended for kids is quite disturbing.
