Imam Warns Muslim Lingerie Model (Michelle Leslie) to Stop Modeling in her Underwear

Hot Muslim model Michelle Leslie has been warned by Muslim leaders that it is un-Islamic to model lingerie. The Australian model apparently converted to Islam as a way to convince a Bali court to reduce her drug sentence to the minimum.

I hope that the Iman was not so clueless as to completely fall for “I’ll-convert-to-Islam-if-it-keeps-my-hot-butt-out-of-jail-for-15-years!” I have some bad news for him if he did. Michelle is only getting out of jail today and already has two modeling jobs booked in Australia.

Australian Federation of Islamic Councils president Dr Ameer Ali said:

“If she is a practising Muslim, I don’t think she should go back to her job as an underwear model – because Islam is all about modesty. “She can’t have it both ways . . . either practise Islam and do something decent, or don’t practise it at all.”

Anyone want to take bets on which one she chooses? (see below if you need a visual of the alternatives now facing her.)

Let’s not forget Islam’s approach toward women in general throwing further doubt on the appeal for a smoking hot model to drop down to second class citizen. (Would Melissa Theuriau ever consider converting? Short of a 15-year jail sentence, I wouldn’t think so.)

Also, according to the Islamic faith, a practicing Muslim must observe a set of rules including being honourable, dignified, gracious, law-abiding, modest, clean – and not consuming drugs or alcohol. In other words, don’t expect Kate Moss to step up as the next hot model to convert to Islam—jail or no jail.
