Muslim imagery used to sell alcohol

Would you be offended by a beer called Medina? It is sold with an image of minarets on the label, which some have taken to represent a mosque.

Would you be offended by a beer called "Medina"?

What do you think about the use of religious names or symbols on commercial products? We're asking this because The Ilkely Brewing Company, based near Bradford, has launched a beer called Medina which is also sold with an image of minarets on the front which some have taken to represent a mosque?

Do you think that a beer that uses the name of the second Holiest city in Islam is an appropriate way to sell alcohol?

The people who make the beer say that the name just reflects the city in Morocco, also called "Medina" and the "Mosque" is just a representation of the architecture there. They say its a celebration of North Africa culture and no offence was intended.
