The controversial anti-terror poster

CAIRO, May 14 (IslamOnline.net) – A British anti-terrorism poster, depicting a pair of eyes surrounded by a black background, and distributed across England and Wales, drew ire from leading mainstream Muslim groups, dubbing it " unfair, counterproductive and a stupid mistake", and calling for its immediate withdrawal, a British paper reported Friday, May 14.

The poster, urging people to ring a confidential hotline with information about terrorism, was slammed at a Muslim Safety Forum meeting Wednesday, May 12, at New Scotland Yard, according to the Guardian.

British Islamic groups say the poster looks like a Muslim woman with most of her face covered and mosques refused to display it, according to the paper.
