respect or flaunting?

Rihanna posing in the midst of splendor in a mosque.

"Does Rihanna cross a line posing seductively on sacred ground? The mosque is not a place for taking suggestive pictures. My understanding is the holy Qu'ran does not allow the drawing of people. That next to the allure of the artist is she drawing a contrast, making a statement or being defiant the way Americans like to lay claim to being superior in the face of old traditions with ways long established to solidify the people in an identity!"
