She would already be dead if she insulted islam in any way whatsoever.

The rhetoric here is ridiculous. Children arguing... "he touched me," "she touched me first" kind of thing.
It's childish and shows quite clearly how infantile are both sides of this argument. Plain fact, it's a photo in poor taste, and second... people who are not christian accusing people who are of not living up to their beliefs is stupid. You don't understand the belief system, and you're not qualified to pass judgement on those who do understand it, so until you fully understand the religion and it's application of its tennats, stop telling us what we believe, and how we fail to live up to that belief.
Children, all of you.
It doesn't matter what her intent was, it's just one of those things that happened in her past that will have an impact on her future. Life isn't fair, it isn't always nice, and there are people starving in parts of the world, worried if they'll have something to feed their children tonight. Why don't we all redirect our energies to actually living the Gospel... feed the hungry, comfort the afflicted, visit the sick and the imprisoned... and let stupid little controversies and aguments with small minded people fall by the way.
It's like the story of the three monks who had taken a vow of chastity. They came across a woman who could not cross a river with a strong current. One of the monk picked her up and carried her across and set her down and continued on with his journey. The other two monks argued whether he'd broken their vow by carrying the woman. They argued for hours until finally the monk who had carried the woman spoke, "I set her down miles back, why are you still carrying her?"
Do the work of God, which is caring for his children, and never mind the unimportant and trivial.
Just my thoughts.

She should have posed on two dinosaur bones in the shape of a cross, that would have really confused all the religious nuts.

How very, very sad that she chose to defile something christians know to be the the price
Christ paid for our salvation. If she only knew how much Jesus loves her and would forgive her instantly, perhaps she would understand what she did is disgusting. It's amazing how many people think it's alright to belittle something that is so holy to many people. I only hope she comes to know Jesus the way true christians do and change her ways. I by no means hate her I'm very saddened by what she chose to do. She's old enough to know better. It's never too late to turn to Jesus while you're still alive!!! Merry Christmas

And her point of these photos is....what? That she's just another attention seeking weirdo. She crusified herself over these stupid photos. Besides...of all the women in France, this is the best they could come up with?
December 23rd, 2007 6:14 PM
A girl with such bad judgement and lack of sensitivity should not be representing anything. If this were any other faith, or if she were making fun of sexual orientation or race, there would be no question that it is offensive. Just because we don't issue fatwahs or take to the streets in riot, doesn't mean we aren't deeply offended.
December 23rd, 2007 6:29 PM
She's too skinny and needs some meat on those bones. She should resign her crown just for looking positively malnourished!
December 23rd, 2007 6:47 PM
Yeah, big deal. so many REAL problems in the world. who cares? only the french would moan about something like this. it's not in bad taste. Just idiots reading too far into something (as usual).
December 23rd, 2007 7:53 PM
She got what she wanted: her picture on Fox News, and a whole forum discussing her stupid picture. If it hadn't been for that I would not have known the difference between her and a tomato stake in my veggie garden.

She is disrespecting Chrisianity. Nobody can deny the fact that if she had shot a photo that disrespected Islam... the World would be calling for her death by beheading.

The photo is doctored. Look at the shadow on the bottom of the pool. There is no shadow from the upper part of the cross.
December 23rd, 2007 9:49 PM
To show that Christian is both loving and forgiving and different from other 'shallow' faiths, please do not crucify her like we crucified Jesus 2000 years ago.
December 24th, 2007 1:18 AM
The whore should be shot.
December 24th, 2007 1:38 AM
I would like to nail her on that cross.
December 24th, 2007 1:42 AM
mike montanna is correct. the photo is altered. You can see the patching work in the water to her right where it erases the top of the cross. Why would they do that ?
December 24th, 2007 1:59 AM
I think the photoshop work was performed to remove a shadow cast by the device that held the top of the cross out of the water. In other words, the top part of the cross that is cropped out of the frame of the pic, probably had something attached like a rope or cable to support her and the weight of the cross. The shadow from this rope or cable cast onto the bottom of the pool was erased with the clone tool. Messy job in doing so I might add. No one has said that the pic is a fake. Just that the clean up wasn't very professional.
December 24th, 2007 1:59 AM
WTF, thats nothing.
Americans lauging at europeans getting riled up over allegidly racy photos, whuda thunk it.
December 24th, 2007 2:55 AM
Why do people feel that they have the right to punish someone over what they find offensive?
I don't think this picture is harmful. I guess it's just easier to punish someone over something so inconsequential rather than just brushing it off and having thicker skin. I think if this picture makes you angry then you're the one with issues. This poor girl getting her crown taken away is a bunch of intolerant crap.
Christians come on. Be the bigger man.
December 24th, 2007 7:03 AM
Come on, lets cosider the source, that this idea comes from, there are much better pictures, at Chrismas time to print, and get publicity. May be a Santa Claus, in a bathing suit would be more interesting, and funny. signed, Al Snowball..................

I am a Christ follower and do not find this one way or the other it was said on here that many were crucified includung Jesus, very true. And the living God Christ is no longer on the cross He is in heaven mediating my sins before the Father. Here in Washington state someone put Santa on a cross (see the Kitsap Sun news paper) but niether of these have anything to do with Jesus. If she were posed with the Quran or Mohammed however there would be interbational rioting of Islamic radicals. Please Muslims I wish you no offense but I think that there are fringe radicals in every niche of society.
I just want to wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

This is disturbing to look at!
What a piece of trash she is!
December 24th, 2007 11:10 AM
These people are idiots. If they don't believe in Christ, why use symbols that have religious value to over half of the world? No one makes them believe in any religion...why not respect the icons of those who do? They just look like idiots doing this stuff. I always have to wonder...why do they hate Christianity so much? Sometimes when people go out of their way to attack something, it makes you wonder if there isn't some real truth to the message of the thing they are attacking.
December 24th, 2007 11:15 AM
Wow - I love all these "so called Christians" that find this sooooo offensive and accusing her of "mocking Christianity" How the hell do you know what was in her heart and mind at the time?? You know, it's not like someone put this picture up in a prominent place in your home - you had to actually look for something to be offended by. So, stop looking for something to offend you and leave the girl alone, if you don't like the photo don't look at - read your bible instead - remember Christians don't have a monopoly on morals, and none of you even know when your christ was born - funny how all of your leaders are now saying that, yes, in fact, they did usurp Pagan festivals and turned them into Christian "Holy Days" - want to be offend by something, how's this, your holiday is in honor of the birth of the Pagan Sun God - not Christ - your trees are a centurys old tradition started by Druids - so really - be offened by how you've been duped all these years, get off your high horse and shut up.
December 24th, 2007 12:40 PM
Leah, does it make you feel a little smarter to say stupid things. "that our spiritual leaders admit to stealing pagan holidays" or our holiday is on honor of the sun god". Idiots are a dime a dozen. To be correct missy, the jewish faith is the oldest, of which these pagans took their religion. Christ was fortold long before the druids came around and so no, our religion does not parody theirs, theirs is based on ours. Christianity is simply and extension of the jewish faith. But back to the subject at hand. Is she mocking Christ, do not know. IS it or could it be offensive to Christians, YES. But it is not our place to force our views on the world. Christ said, I come not to change Rome, but to save the world. It is not our job to deal with this lady. It is our job to simply shine throughout the world. She will either find truth in christ in this life and make ammends, or she will find out the truth in the next, but will not be able to do anything about it then. It is not ours to force her, simply pray.
Merry Christmas to you all, I hope that all of you either draw close to God or find God this holiday season.
We are all not judgemental, some of us live what we believe not just speak it.
December 24th, 2007 1:38 PM
I have a name - and it's not "missy" - I'm not 5, funny I haven't had anyone call me "missy" since I was about 28 - which was a long time ago, and since you didn't have enough guts to leave your name, I guess that shows how confidant you are in your response to me.
So I guess that the Archbishop of Canterburry is wrong - and how thoughtless of me to actually believe what I learned in History class about converting Pagans to Christianity - and really, I guess I never paid attention in CCD classes enough to know that MOST Christians are aware that Christ's birth was most likely in the spring...
Are you old enough to know that Judaism is truly the oldest religion? Because if you are then you must have far greater and much more extensive knowledge than me. You can't possibly know that for a fact, just like I can't.
Now, unless your going to contradict everything that history teaches, then I am right about Pagan holidays being transformed into Christian Holidays in order to make the Pagans conversion to Christianity a much easier transition.
You also sit there and tell me that "it is not your place to force your views on the world" - that's funny condsidering all the comments made above you and how Christianity is constantly shoved into political converstations for absolutely every issue that one would think is a personal matter - so please don't tell me about "forcing views".
By the way, I could lend you some really good history and ancient history texts by reputiable authors that would prove my point.
