Underwear ads removed after they anger Muslims

Muslims are angry about billboard ads placed near mosques that feature four nearly naked women. I'm not offended that these ads were taken down; after all, they're imposing their values on me just as much as the jihadists want to. Nonetheless, their removal is still an example of dhimmitude; there is not the slightest doubt in my mind that if, say, a church group had asked for removal of these ads, they would have been met with contempt and cries of censorship. From [1] SkyNews, with thanks to Ali Dashti:

Complaints were made after the image appeared on billboards next to mosques in Leeds and Greater Manchester. ...

Triumph International, which owns the Sloggi brand, said it told its contractors to avoid using poster sites near mosques.
