But it probably won’t.
Via Malay Online:
Muslim group Ikatan Muslimin Malaysia (Isma) blasted the Kedah authorities today for installing billboard advertisements of “sexy” women muay thai fighters, claiming the pictures would invite the “wrath of Allah” on the state.
The group’s Kedah chapter said the billboards were considered sinful because they showed the fighters garbed in “indecent” wear.
“These are advertisements that would invite the wrath of Allah!” Kedah Isma chief Abdul Fisol Mohd Isa was quoted as saying in an interview with the group’s website ismaalorstar.net.
The billboards are promotional advertisements for the Z1 International 2014 Mentri Besar Muay Thai Tournament, which features pictures of both men and women fighters.
Men muay thai fighters are usually dressed only in shorts, while the women are dressed in shorts and a sports bra that fully covers the breasts.
The report said, however, that the advertisement is considered sinful because the women featured had not put on hijab (veil) or covered the “aurat”.
