And trust me, she's going to get a lot of hate from the more hardcore muslims than she'll get here, which is to say she's more or less one of us.

That WHORE! I can see her skin! STONE HER!

How dare CoverGirl show this whoreish woman brazenly exposing herself so that men might lust after her. Heed my words, CoverGirl - start showing your models in full burkas or you will face the wrath of Allah!
