MADONNA POSTS A PICTURE OF MUSLIM AND JEWISH MEN KISSING- The singer sparks more controversy with new Instagram post
Madonna has posted a picture of a Muslim and a Jewish man engaged in a kiss, yet again sparking controversy in the promotion for her new album, Rebel Heart.
The image seems to be a nod towards the Israel-Palastine conflict, which has initiated a debate which ranges from support of the message of love to offence towards the religions which do not accept homosexuality. One comment read: "I'm arab, and I found this great! People have the right to be whoever they want to be and be who they really are..."
Whilst others considered it to be a simple message of love: "If this pic portraying love between two human beings is 'causing a commotion'....YOU PEOPLE HAVE TOO MUCH TIME ON YOUR HANDS. GET A LIFE!!! IT'S LOVE, IT'S HUMAN."
The Instagram post is accompanied by the hashtag #rebelhearts, the title of her latest album. See the post below:

^ Kiss where? It was probably a personal photo of a couple and Madonna stole it to make some statement. She's so tiresome, my God.

She can't even come up with her own, original controversial stuff. She got the photo of the Muslim about to kiss the Jewish guy from some political ad.
Mystery Solved! Madonna Viral Instagram Pic Was Israeli Gay Party Ad - May 19, 2015By Naomi ZeveloffIsrael
Sorry, Madonna fans, but the Material Girl’s provocative Instagram photo of a Jewish man and an Arab man about to lock lips isn’t quite what it seems.
The photo is actually of two Israeli Jews: Imri Kalmann, 28, and Dekel Aiden, 24, two Tel Aviv party promoters who host a periodic gay club party called Dreck.
“I am not really Orthodox and he is not really Palestinian,” said Kalmann.
The picture first appeared last summer on a poster promoting a Dreck party in Tel Aviv. Kalmann said his team planned on something racier, but changed its concept after the start of Israel’s war with Gaza.
“We decided to do a photo shoot to say something that we feel regarding the war.”
In the picture, Kalmann is wearing a skullcap with Hebrew lettering and fake side curls that he purchased at a costume shop. Aiden is wearing a keffiyeh, or Palestinian national scarf, from Nazareth.
The poster was controversial at the time.
“Some understood the humor and liked it and appreciated it,” said Kalmann. “Some thought that in the middle of the war, when missiles were falling in Tel Aviv and people are in the war that it was not a time for peaceful homosexual posters. I don’t agree. I think that is the time to do it.”
Madonna’s Instagram post also raised hackles of her followers, most of whom apparently took it as authentic display of cross-cultural affection.
“You do not know at all what is happening here in Israel. Do not post such a picture here again,” one wrote.
Others were supportive: “Love is love my friends — doesn’t matter if you are Jewish or Muslim or whatever.”
Kalmann said that he was “shocked” when he saw Madonna post his photo on her feed. He has been to five of her concerts. “I really, really love Madonna.”
He said he has no idea how she found the image — but is happy the world is seeing it.
"I am very, very excited I have an opportunity to show this message to so many people and I thank Madonna for this."
Dreck has stirred controversy in the past when it published a photo of a staged ISIS beheading to promote one of its parties. The group later apologized on Facebook.

She can't be stopped ...
Didn't Benetton do this in one of their ads 20+ years ago?
