Hundreds of Muslim protesters have attacked the offices of the newly-published Indonesian edition of Playboy magazine.


On Wednesday, about 300 activists from the Islamic Defenders' Front (FPI) rallied outside the building to demand that the local version of the magazine, which carries no nude photos, cease publication.
They tore up copies of the magazine and threw stones at the building, shattering windows.

One of about 90 policemen guarding the building was injured, but most of the magazine's employees had left the offices before the attack happened.

There were no immediate reports of arrests, but witnesses said some police chased stone-throwers.

Salim Ali Hamid, one of the leaders of the group, told a local radio: "We will carry out more attacks if Playboy refuses to stop publishing."

Sold out
Playboy's Indonesian edition hit the newsstands last Friday for the first time and was quickly sold out.

Copies later changed hands at more than three times the cover price of 39,000 rupiah ($4.33).

The magazine featured pictures of underwear-clad women, but also carried an interview with Pramoedya Ananta Toer, Indonesia's most famous author.

FPI activists, notorious for attacking Jakarta nightspots during anti-vice raids, have said Playboy is synonymous with pornography and is not fit for publication in the world's most populous Muslim country.


Corrupting culture

Earlier this year when plans for Playboy's debut were announced, Muslim leaders had expressed worries that the magazine would corrupt a culture already inundated by Western influences.

Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono, the Indonesian president, weighed into the debate in February to question the magazine's benefit to the country.

Indonesia's Muslims make up about 85% of the population of 220 million.

Is that the only way muslim work against with those thing they don't like?
That's how ppl label them if things as such happen.

Tom, if this thread go wild or you think this is too sensitive, please delete it.

well, like there is anything new from those people.
playboy is a sin, raping my own daughter is not. crap..
 
Irregardless of race or religion, I've always thought that the use of violence is barbaric at best. We like to think that we have evolved as a race, and when I say race I actually mean the human race. Here we are again acting like neandrathals. Are our minds not developed enough to resolve issues diplomatically?
 
Certain people are backwater and probably never really improved much since medieval times, as far as sophistication of thought is concerned.
 
no nudity and they throwed stones......if got naked issues, would they bomb down the building??
 
I definitely don't understand why humans can go to such an extreme. Don't they know how to judge? or they are just that barbaric and rather become activist to gain fame (hey mum, I threw stones at the devil!).
There's really a lot of ppl in this world that doesn't know how to weight good and evil. Throwing stones and taking stupid radical actions are seriously so immature!

Same thought on the censorhip in our country. Not totally brainless, but in today's society you can no longer see nor hear no evil!! You already have your own censorship and rating system, but u still cut the scences on light kissing in a 18sx show.

Well, i guess they have got the whole thing wrong....

there's a whole lot difference from Pornography Magazine and Men's Magazines... if you guys understand what i mean...

yes, i agree Playboy use to publish pictures and of nude celebrities and playmates, but now they target the indonesian market with non-nude edition, but this guys are over-reacting to its publication... it only contains picture of ladies in bikini's and so on...

Just similar to our Random Girl Picture section, its a non-nude section, its just arts of ladies, which i would consider as a men's thread... not a pornograph thread... just a little thought would do things better.
Come on, we're not kids to be told what to do...

anyway, i bet after throwing all the stones at the PB company, they would go back home, download some porn and wank infront of their computer... hehehe :loser:

bang me if i said anything wrong!

p/s please debate using knowledgeable and rational idea's... dont start a racism arguments here... thank u.

if the muslims is alim enough and can control their nafsu...obviously they wont buy right?
 
turbo....it's not wise to speak on m*slim....
you could just generally say "they"......which could refer to any religions.
Most of the religion also wants their disciples to control "nafsu" and not to do bad things........
so it's the extreme thinkers that wrongly interprete what was supposed to be, thus always causes this type of rebellious behaviour.
 
Aiyo it's the people not the religion. We dont do those thing in malaysia. Do u see ppl go burn down or attack pirated dvd shop because they sell porn dvds ? It's the mentality of the ppl

Cos in malaysia, irregardless of people, race, religion, humans, animals, plants, insects, birds, etc. all also want porn. hahahaha

Again, IT'S THE PEOPLE, NOT THE RELIGION. So for those who speak on the religion, please, freeze yourself and go back to the ice age. Peace up, y'all !
 
heh, so what if the publication stops?

magazines are for those who choose to watch porn when they are taking a dump, the computer is far more entertaining when it comes to this sort of media.

what are the protesters going to do now? set up a national firewall to block off the IPs of every single porn site? randomly frisk people's computer for porn?
 
boggysv,
Playboy Indonesia should've built a fence that's far from the office and kept lots and lots of pigs around the office. buahahahaha Oh, and dogs too. hehehehe Then those pig brained protestors can't get near enough to throw stones. hehehe
 
jimmy......i wish for M'sia playboy too.....
but who's going to talk to the censorship guys?!
or we organise a signed petition to the government and asked them to let playboy in?!
wakakakkakaka
