Two women insulted religion, as claimed by numerous people, by posing provocatively in a Jewish cemetery, according to a report by The Blaze.

MUNTINLUPA, PHILIPPINES (Catholic Online) -  Standing at gravestones, one of the woman was scantily clad and sporting a "Jesus" belt, hinting that both women most probably knew what they were doing. The photos, discovered over social media, an organization complained to the state prosecutor, regarding religious feelings got offended by the insensitive photos.

"We're not pushing for these two young girls to go to prison, rather to understand the severity of what they did and to use that to enable people to understand that we won't sit idly by when acts like these which happen too often take place in Eastern Europe," said Jonny Daniels, founder and executive director of From the Depths, during the interview with the outlet.

The organization, dedicated on preserving the Jewish cemeteries and ritual items in Poland, discovered the controversial insulting photos as their volunteers were engaged in research about Jewish cemeteries in Kalisz.

Daniels explained that the act was not an anti-Semitism propaganda but an "act of stupidity and religious intolerance" which they are fighting against to.

"It absolutely shocked us to find the pictures that these girls had decided to model in such provocative poses at the site of the Jewish cemetery, clearly knowing what they were doing," he said.

Jewish people in Poland are not the only ones affected by the provocative images in the cemetery, Christians also reacted negatively and shocked as one wears a "Jesus belt." Daniels explained that they are coming out as both Jewish and Christians against such manner of insensitivity towards religion.
