It's not for public display. They represent sacred things and should be sacred.

Why? What is the obgliation on everyone else to respect as sacred what certain religious sects view as sacred?

Religion, religious belief, religious icons, what religions consider sacred as just as subject to comment, critique, satire, ridicule, mockery,etc. as any thing else. There are, nor should there be, sacred cows; otherwise, freedom is diminshed and the powerful can insultate themselves from public scrutiny, which is never a good thing.

Avoiding giving offense to LDS board partiicpants by making light of what they consider sacred (in this case at least) is done as a matter of courtesy to fellow members of the Jazzfanz community, and is a concession to foster a harmonious community, NOT because we have any obligation, moral or otherwise, to accord the same level of sacredness to those things they do.

You keep saying in a disrespectful way. How was the manner in which the temple garb was shown disrespectful?

This feels waaaaay overly sensitive here.

Sensitivity and, if many are honest with themselves, embarrasment. Heaven knows, back in the day, I was embarrased as hell to be seen outside LDS communities wearing those damn silly things.

That's fine. If that's the case best to just own up to it. Like "hey I own the site and find this offensive so I'm taking it down. It doesn't really break any rules per se but I don't like it so it goes away". That's the owner's right.

Really it's probably more the top quote then anything else, but LDS in general find depiction of the garment in any way shape or form to be offensive. It is partly the fact that LDS hold then to be sacred and partly the fact that it is HEAVILY indoctrinated to keep anything related to the temple a secret. My wife got chewed out by the temple pres in Reno because my daughter confirmed in front of him that the experience was just as my wife had partially described it to her before she went through for the first time before her mission. He pulled my wife aside to remind her it is highly inappropriate to discuss any part of the ceremony outside the temple. My wife had only answered her questions because a friend of my daughter showed her the entire temple ceremony online with running commentary claiming it is actually masonic and satanic. So yeah Mormons get a little weird and highly ruffled when it comes to anything related to the temple.

not tyring to be offensive or anything. but isn't this a slippery slope as far as i know the poster posting the image is not a mormon at the moment. but mods want him and other to abide by mormon rule. and not show a sacred thing.

look according to my nomination of judaism women are not to touch the torah. some Jewish nominations women touch torah, it is extremely offensive and disturbing for me to see. but i would not dare walk up to the people doing/condoning this and tell them what to do. what if someone posted such an image here? would i be offended yes, but a long time ago i grew a pair of BALLS and manned the f up. and move on. would i want to mods to infract that user or remove image. no!

I can honestly say I've never been embarrassed that I wear my temple garments.
But you've obviously got an agenda.

Then you simply wouldn't report the post.
It's also highly unlikely anybody else on this site would know you find that offensive. Quite the contrary with this case. It's about 100% absolutely true that alt knew it would be offensive. Besides, according to what colton said, he didn't get an infraction for posting it the first time. But when he chose to be an idiot and pay it the second time (after it was removed the first time), that is when he got the infraction. I would wager the same thing would happen in your scenario of someone posting the image you find offensive.

well as long as there is some leeway into this, as in not getting an infraction immediately, i guess than i'm ok with it.
 
I didn't get fracted or anything... Came to this thread looking for specifics on the image tho(for future reference). I presume it's because the lower part of the bikini was too skimpy?

I was actually looking for a different image of the chica in question but just used that one because I was feeling lazy and it met the swimwear theme I'm doing with the Gamethread girls (Who are undefeated BTW!!)

Well the dilemma is you know, it wouldn't actually be an image of Muhammed because no one knows how he looked like exactly so I wouldn't mind.

plus the fact that vast populations of Muslim individuals have already seen visual representations of Muhammad based on what sect they belong to.

EDIT: Hekate already shared some.
