Muslim Anger Over Sex Doll
Updated: 13:48, Thursday February 09, 2006
A mosque is reported to have written to erotic retailer Ann Summers asking them to rebrand an inflatable sex doll - because it is named after a Muslim prophet.
Manchester Central Mosque said the decision to name the blow-up aid “Mustafa Shag” had caused “hurt and anguish”.
The new male doll is being sold as an “inflatable escort for your hen-night adventures”, the Independent reported.
Unfortunately, Mustafa is a name given to the Prophet Mohammed.
“You have no idea how much hurt, anguish and disgust this obnoxious phrase has caused to Muslim men, women and children,” the letters reads.
“We are asking you to please relent on compassionate grounds.”
The call comes after a week in which the Muslim world has reacted with outrage to cartoons published in European newspapers satirising the Prophet Mohammed.
Ann Summers described the request as “political correctness gone mad”.
Chief executive Jacqueline Gold said: "We don’t want to offend, but this feels like political correctness gone mad.
“If anyone has a better name for a blow-up doll, please let us know.”
