Advertising poster insulted Chelyabinsk Muslims

Muslims in Chelyabinsk are outraged by the appearance of a billboard depicting a kneeling man with his head buried in the sand. The image is supplemented with the inscription: "No problem?"

According to believers, the man on the poster resembles a praying Muslim in prostration. The association is strengthened by the fact that the poster is placed next to the pointer to the mosque.

The representative office of the Council of Muftis of Russia in the South Urals has begun preparing a lawsuit.
