Muslims Unhappy Over Playboy Plans for Indonesia
 

Plans to launch an Indonesian edition of Playboy magazine have set off a debate in the world's largest Muslim nation, prompting the local publisher to say the edition would be toned down and not contain nudity.

His assurances are unlikely to satisfy religious conservatives, however, who range from members of big, mainstream Muslim organizations to supporters of radical groups with a history of violent actions against targets they deem immoral.

In the years since the downfall of the Suharto regime in 1998, Indonesians have had significantly more access to titillating material, whether in the form of widely available "lifestyle" magazines aimed at men -- including local editions of such titles as FHM -- late-night adult television programs, illicit pornographic movies or the Internet.

But the planned appearance of Playboy in the Indonesian language and featuring Indonesian models has struck a raw nerve in the predominantly Islamic country.

Apart from the U.S. edition, Playboy has 20 local editions, although none in the Muslim world. All are based in Europe except for two in South America, one in Mexico and one in Japan.

Fuck them.

What he said ;)

Ya, lets exploit there women like we exploit ours.

PLAYBOY is messing with fire putting out that mag over there. Those fuckers will not blink an eye to blow shit up.

BAD idea PLAYBOY and a total disrespect for their culture.

I dont agree with the blowing up shit part, but I do agree with the second part.

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

Well that's a crying shame isn't it. They should also do some scenes with women in full muslim dress fucking pigs, and then shitting on the koran.:2 cents:

I heard they're not too happy about the idea of a Danish Comix magazine eigther :Oh crap

hehe good idea

may I suggest for the first edition

the Prophet Muhammed fucking another mans muslim wife...

and Allah comes in and deliver a nice cumshot in the end.

they should do an all muslim edition

Maybe if they toss off a little more to Playboy, then they will not be in such a hurry to get to the 75 virgins, or blow each other up.

Just my :2 cents:

:disgust

make them pay

Oh god... not a naked female!

So they don't mind jerking off to American, European, Asian, and African women having sex, but to see their own women putting their bodies on display is getting their burkahs in a bunch?!? Now THAT'S racism! LOL

against of muslim law :Oh crap

Classic thread title - ROFL

That's like saying everyone in the US is Christian so showing nude women disrespects our culture. I'm sure not everyone in Indonesia is a Muslim.

I think these "Muslims" need to stop being disrespected by what everyone else in the world does, and rather start being disrespected by what people do in the name of their religion.

Why is it we never hear "Muslims" unhappy over bombing in London.. Or Muslims unhappy and feel disrespected about terrorist activites. When they start feeling upset and disrespected about that, then maybe I'll feel a little bit for them when they feel like they are being disrespected for what ever reason it is this week.

Actually, I think thats a real poor choice to launch over there.

damn, I had 5 Playboy magaziness taken away 2 years ago in Denpasar airport by their customs.. I want my money back! But really, some move by playboy. Indonesia is the largest Muslim nation in the world. They must have bribed the shit out of officials. The country is so corrupt.

they won't even allow wearing swimsuits in beauty pageants.

It was a disrespect & a moral issue to our country when Hustler & Playboy first came around, it will be that way for any new country / region that they enter.

Power to the smut peddlers, get more guys cocks hard so they want to come online and spend the money! They need porn over there, maybe the can masturbate more to relieve some damn stress...

First Barbie, now Playboy :(

Oh well, I say everyone is entitled to his/her own opinions. The Muslims are entitled with their own, too. Let us just respect each other. :upsidedow

That's so fucking ironic coming from a pornographer.

I sure as hell wanna subscribe. There's gonna be some hot women in that one.

I agree.
