London’s Muslim Mayor Bans Sexy Women In Advertisements

Well, that didn't take long.

London’s first Muslim mayor just imposed his first Sharia edict.

And you lefties said this would never happen. Shame on you.

 

What do you think will be next on the chopping block?

Put me down for pork products.

 

If it was really about body shaming then he'd ban body building competitions and Bay Watch reruns. Can't wait to see what he has in store for gays and Christians.

 

And so it begins ...

Unsurprisingly, this is the first thing he addresses as mayor. The behavior and/or appearance of women is something Muslim culture is self-tortured over and obsessed with, and now the capitol city of the United Kingdom is going to have this dysfunction imposed on them.

This is a failure to assimilate and a declaration that they will not assimilate.

*shakes head*

 

$100 says ads with women in bathing suits will NOT be banned

 

This story is depressing, and raises my cackles. For one thing the body type is not unrealistic unless you're fat and lazy. Pretty, height/weight proportional, independent women are going to get the brunt of this. If they are not demonized for being beautiful, they will be targets for the small-minded sexist pigs that think beautiful women are fair game for rape. This will eventually lead to all women being forced to wear hajibs and burkas, and being subservient to the big man in the house. The Muslim mayor is just getting started.

 

Stop it. Gambling is banned in Islam.

 

this is a good law for everyone, and even christians and jews should like it.

it helps guys from being tempted into desiring the forbidden fruit before marriage.

also feminists don't like when men objectify women, so liberal atheists like it too.

 

he isn't banning pictures of women in bathing suits.

 

Kinda a shame the Page Three Girls are a thing of the past, his crusade against them would have been epic entertainment!

 

Pork...

 

This has nothing to do with Sharia. It was a fairly long running campaign largely driven from a “feminist” direction rather than religious, which is why the focus of the objection is “body shaming” rather than nudity or sexualisation. It happened to be fired up again due to a specific advert during the mayoral election and Khan’s position was entirely political opportunism, jumping on a high-profile bandwagon to grab votes. I’m not aware of it being something he’s ever commented on in the past and I’m sure that if the “Beach Ready” advert hadn’t been published during the campaign, he’d have never brought up the policy in the first place.

Whatever you think of the policy, I’d suggest he deserves some credit for actually following through on a manifesto pledge despite the inevitable complaints and spin that you’re running with. I suspect the only reason it’s the first (interesting) decision he made as mayor because it was in practical terms very straight forwards for him to achieve.

 

no the feminist was campaigning about skinny and only skinny models used in advertisements they wasn't campaigning against sexy pictures being used
I suggest you look up the "free the nipple" campaign where feminist are advocating to be able to go topless in public
this is Sharia law being imposed plain and simple

 

There are loads of adverts with skinny models on them. The one that triggered this specific objection was because of the words in association with the image, not the image itself. The principle behind the rules being implemented aren’t against skinny models in themselves either.

Precisely which element of Sharia law supports rules against “body shaming”? What evidence do you have that Sharia had any influence what so even of this decision? What is your explanation for all of the non-Muslims who support and campaigned for this change?

 

He voted for Gay marriage and was sworn in in a Christian Cathedral - his choice.

 

question why did you edit out this

I will tell you why because it destroys your argument that it is feminist that are advocating the sexy picture in advertisement be banned
because why in the hell would they advocate sexy pictures in advertisement be banned but want to go topples in public proves you are full of crap
it isn't because the pictures are sexy it is because advertisers exclusively use fit skinny models in them if advertisers used average ordinary body types of the average women in bikinis and underwear there would be no problem with feminist they actually would be praised by the feminist

so don't try to excuse what the Muslim Mayor did by saying it is the feminist that caused the ban it is nothing but liberal protect our pet class bull crap

 

Time will tell...

 

In other words, most of you have no idea how to interpret what's very clear in the provided article?

 

You are aware that there is a long running campaign against page 3 of the sun which has absolutely nothing to do with Sharia law are you not?

At the same time skinny models are known to be the reason why large numbers of young girls develop poor body image or even anorexia. Nothing to do with Sharia law. You've got a one tract mind with Muslims. This mayor does not exactly follow my politics but that has nothing to do with him being a Muslim.

 

Maybe they'll start it back up to poke a finger in this jackass's eye.

 

Anybody opposed to this Sharia intrusion in London should wrap bacon on their doors. Do it in the form of a bacon ribbon.
Post them freely.

 

I don't think this has a thing to do with islam, but I do think the mayor should leave such things up to the advertising authority (seems to be https://www.asa.org.uk/). If it was deemed acceptable or no complaints have been made to that authority, then they should be trusted on their decisions.

 

Nope already happened.

 

and I'm telling you feminist are campaigning to have the page 3 girls removed or sexy pictures in advertisement being removed not because they are sexy they are advocating against advertiser only using skinny fit models in them
the Muslim mayor wants all sexy pictures removed skinny fat average models doesn't matter he wants them removed because they are sexy same reason sharia require women to be covered from head to toe they want to oppress women

 

Honestly, because didn’t want to discuss that campaign without looking up the details and don’t want to Google “free the nipple” at work. Also, I didn’t think it was relevant.

That’s my point! They’re not advocating banning “sexy pictures”, they’re advocating banning “body shaming”. Again, on the poster that retriggered the issue, it wasn’t the picture of the woman in the bikini that caused the problem (there’s plenty of them around), it was the words associated with it, the implication that if you didn’t look a particular way you weren’t “beach ready”.
