A cleaner in a school in London took her employer to court recently, because there were nude life drawings displayed in the Art room she was expected to clean. As a Muslim she was offended by this. Happily this time she didn't win.
Incidently she would have been offended by a clothed figure, as you can't show any living thing in Muslim art. They used to draw birds on tiles but if you look closely their throats are cut!
