People blame Muslims for the end of topless models on Page 3
The Sun stops publishing topless models on Page 3 – it must be due to Muslims and ‘creeping sharia law’ in the UK, right?
Wrong.
But that fact hasn’t stopped bigots on Twitter suggesting that Islam might be responsible for the paper’s decision to stop publishing topless models.
Today’s edition of sister paper The Times stated that the paper ‘Understands that Friday’s edition of the paper was the last that will carry an image of a glamour model with bare breasts on that page’.
It’s worth noting that The Sun has replaced topless models with scantily clad TV starlets wearing bikinis, which would be equally unpopular under many interpretations of sharia law.
Warning: extreme stupidity lies ahead…
So @rupertmurdoch ,you've dropped topless page 3 girls from your rag the Sun.Will you announce your conversion to Islam now? #CreepingSharia
