    that Muslim Mayor said "sexy pictures" he did not say pictures of skinny fit models that feminist complained about
    feminist didn't complain of women in advertisement being in bikinis and under wear they complained because it only was fit and skinny models in them
    So this Mayor banning sexy pictures so women remain covered is his attempt to back door sharia law and use the guise of feminism to do so when it isn't feminism that is trying to get women to cover up just the opposite they want it so women can go topless if they want
    and I will give you an example many feminist especially in Europe go topless at many of their protest as a sign of freeing women from oppression

    Feminists have different views about nude modelling. However there is a long running campaign in uk not just against Page 3, sex but much more against skinny models. Nothing to do with Sharia law.

    The Muslim mayor does not believe in extreme Sharia law which ought to be obvious by his vote in favour of gay marriage. The extremism is that which you should look for in the mirror.

    Liberals are the book burners of the 21st century. It all started with banning Mark Twain in the 20th century. Now it's girls in bathing suits. The thought police are here.

    Censorship is a liberal's best friend. It's "1984", "Brave New World", and "Farenheit 451".

    Khan never said “sexy pictures”. If you’re incapable of understanding the actual policy he has applied, how can we reasonably discuss it?

    No he isn’t. You’ve apparently presumed that because you got your information from the headline of a trashy US website and ignored the actual content of the article, let alone any information actually from the UK.

    Ironic that some of the same people here that get bent out of shape when non-Yank posters here comment on US issues feel the fervent need to misrepresent issues in other countries that they don't even like nor could find on a map.

    Big time restrictions on alcohol is my guess.

    They already have that in many places. Religion had a lot to do with it but not the one you are thinking about.
    The Irish have very strict rules about who and when you can sell alcohol. They don't sell it on some Catholic holidays at all and all pubs are closed.
    In Scandinavia you have systems like Systembolaget that regulates alcohol quite strongly and maintains a monopoly.

    I am sure you will use this information blaming Muslims one of these days.

    Bunch of sensitive ninnies.

    I can't believe all of these people that believe that if something offends them, it should be banned.

    This is simply another form of entitlement.

    It looks to me like a mash up of third wave feminism (by using the body-shaming language) and Islam.

    He is banning on public transportation advertising that shame certain body types, called body shaming. This would not mean banning sexy women, more like ads that shame certain undesirable body types like plus sizes or some fat guy bending over while showing his crack while fixing the lead pipes type of ads with shameful suggestions to not be that type of person.

    It won't take long for non-Muslims to start fleeing London.

    I love how the Muslim fundamentalist phrases it in social justice warrior speak. The Muslims really know how to manipulate the SJW fanatics on the left.

    I noticed this in the referenced link:

    "Khan was not clear in what would determine which ads would be banned, as it doesn’t include all images of people in underwear or swimming clothes. Most underwear and bikini models though can be assumed to have non-average bodies."

    Read more: http://dailycaller.com/2016/06/13/l...s-sexy-women-in-advertisements/#ixzz4BbU0zmMU

    HUH??? In other words...Whatever Khan wants....Khan gets. This is really outrageous. LONDON....LONDON...Where are you?

    1. Who is this man to decide what is and isn't attractive? Now if it's about body shaming then he thinks these models are attractive and other girls aren't, so isn't he actually shaming the other girls? And if that's not the case, then the other option is he's offended by seeing women dressed like that. Wonder why? And if he's the decider on what is and isn't attractive, then he has to deal with personal taste and social norms. Some men like big women, some like midgets, some like other men. Now what does he do?

    2. If this is about shaming people because theyre seeing someone they'll never be or be with, then should my son take down is astronaut poster because he'll never be one? Should he ban soccer on TV because the chances of being a pro soccer play are probably less than being a model? Where does it end?

    3. If being the best means your shaming others then what this mayor is saying is that you'll probably never be the best or you will probably never be with the best, so why bother trying. Instead, settle for mediocrity or less and be happy with it. And we wonder why Islam is stuck in the 7th century.

    Is there anything you (*)(*)(*)(*)ing people aren't offended by? "Body Shaming" is a term made up for people who are to insecure about their own body. Here's a suggestion, put down the 40oz coke, the greased up hamburger, and go for a (*)(*)(*)(*)ing walk.

    Nobody will be deciding “what is and isn’t attractive” and the mayor won’t be deciding at all. I expect the same people who currently decide whether an advert meets TFL policies will continue to make those decisions. The mayor, having overall responsibility for TFL, has just made an adjustment to those policies.

    Don’t worry, it isn’t.

    Don’t worry, it doesn’t.

    I’m happy I was able to settle your concerns for the people of London.

    In modern times, real men should learn to not judge wo-men even by the clothes they may not be wearing.

    Wow! Maybe this mayor with his wholesome values (Islam inspired or not) will bring some good to England.

    There are close connections between Islamic extremism and Christian Fundamentalist Extremism.

    Both hate individual rights and freedoms and feel they have the right to force their puritanical beliefs on others.
