Newspaper ads for the "Trinny & Susannah Do Israel" show has sparked a row among Muslims, as it shows the two British fashion advisors dressed in immodest clothing against the backdrop of the al-Aqsa Mosque and Western Wall.

Channel 10 apologized for the incident on Wednesday evening and promised to change the ads immediately.

The Islamic Movement's al-Aqsa institution association slammed Channel 10 for publishing a picture of the two women wearing strapless dresses against the backdrop of the mosque.

Trinny & Susannah ad. 'Abomination'

The association released a statement saying that "the publication of such abomination against the backdrop of an image of the al-Aqsa Mosque, in order to promote a television program on fashion and clothes, is a blatant violation and a desecration of Islam's holy mosque. This is an insult to more than one and a half billion Muslims in the world."

The association demanded that Channel 10 remove the ads immediately. "This is not the first time Israelis make use of pictures of the al-Aqsa Mosque, which violate the sanctity of Islam, whether with alcohol bottles or in order to promote tourism to occupied Jerusalem. We call for the immediate removal of the newspaper ads."

After apologizing for the ad, Channel 10 decided to change it immediately, using PR photos instead of images of Jerusalem.

Channel 10 offered the following response: "The television show has no intention of offending any religion or faith in any way. The publication of the discussed ads will be stopped immediately.

"We had no intention and have no intention of hurting the feelings of Jews, Muslims, Christians or any other people. We apologize if these ads have offended any religious sentiments."

I must say, I too was terribly offended, those two examples of beautiful and successful western women standing in front of an example of Islamic hatred and oppression. Is Channel Ten going to apologize to me too? No, not likely, it seems Ten is far more interested in implementing sharia law than it is in implementing liberty and freedom. - Dave.
