That's actually not how it happened at all.


The photo (seen on page 1) was taken from her official fan site and published at the discretion of the author.


"The Home Ministry has asked The Star to explain why it published the photo. The Star has already apologised, saying its inclusion in Monday's edition was "inadvertent".
"We deeply regret any offence caused to Muslims and sincerely apologise for the oversight," the paper said on Tuesday."

Putting it on her naked skin was STUPID! It really doesn't matter how this went down. If not for that little issue, none of this would have happened!

This American has been to over 15 nations, six of which are Muslim majority. The photo was not taken in a Muslim country nor was it originally printed in a Muslim country. Was the Danish film maker Van Gough to blame when a Muslim man offended by his film executed him? Did the Danish cartoonist deserve to live in fear for their lives and have Muslims attempt to kill them deserve such treatment for merely offending Muslims? No! We're told they're a religion of peace but if they think you've insulted their faith then they resort to violence and death.

Really? When was the last time a Christian executed a person for insulting their faith? Plenty of American films, tv shows, and artist have gone out of their way to insult Christianity. I've heard calls for apology, boycott the tv show or movie, protest outside art gallery,...but no executions. Christianity is the safe religion to insult in Hollywood and music industry.

Absolutely.....

The newest case-in-point is ABC's new TV series "Good Christian B@tches".

Can we at least be honest and say that Hollywood would never ever never do this to Muslim women and we know why!

Death threats! Fear of being attacked ....studios burned down,,,,,
