World Cup Row: German Brothel Removes Muslim Flags Amid Threats - International - SPIEGEL ONLINE - News
I missed this story from last week:
A giant poster covering the side of the seven-story, 126-apartment building showed a friendly-looking blonde woman lifting up her bra.... Right beneath her pink panties were posters of the flags, including those of strictly Islamic Saudi Arabia and Iran...
The campaign provoked excitement, but not the kind the management was hoping for. Men from the Muslim community came to the door complaining that showing the flags of Saudi Arabia and Iran was an insult to the Prophet Muhammad. Later, some returned in masks.
"On Friday evening we were threatened by 11 masked men who demand that we take down the Saudi Arabian flag." ....
"On Saturday night there were 20 masked men armed with knives and sticks. They threatened to get violent and even bomb the place unless we black out the Iranian and Saudia Arabian flags on the poster as well," said Lobscheid.
Far be it for me to defend brothel owners, but surely these Muslim guys should have better things to worry about than where certain national flags appear.
The brothel, by the way, is said to be:
Europe's largest brothel, which incidentally claims to be the world's only brothel with a money-back guarantee for dissatisfied customers...
The local Small Claims Tribunal equivalent might have had some interesting cases.

I disagree with the way which they carry out their defiance. Peaceful means are the only way to go and if they came back with some self-respect demanding those flags be taken in down in respect to Islam, I think that would've been achieved.
I agree with the fact such flags, especially ones that have the name of God and/or Prophet Mohammad on it, shouldn't be posted below a classless picture like the one mentioned.
