Sila Sahin, a 25-year-old Turkish German living in Berlin, has been branded a "whore" and a "Western slut" after appearing topless on the cover of the magazine's May 2011 issue, The Sun reports. A Muslim actress has reportedly caused outrage, receiving threats for posing nude in the German edition of Playboy. Sila Sahin, a 25-year-old Turkish German living in Berlin, has been branded a "whore" and a "Western slut" after appearing topless on the cover of the magazine's May 2011 issue, The Sun reports. Sahin's photographs, according to posts on Islamic websites, have shamed "Muslim womanhood" and depict her "prostituting herself for money," the newspaper reports. "She needs to be very careful," one post read, according to the Sun. "She must pay," another read. The Islamic Community of Germany has called for a boycott of Sihan, the star of the German soap "Good Times, Bad Times." Sahin's parents reacted with "horror" to the 12-page pictorial and her mother has since cut off all contact with her, the Sun reports.

    One of the most populated american cities with muslims is Detroit suburb Dearborn. Time magazine did a story a few months ago on the strong influence arabs are having on the city. I have also heard Subi who founded Subi's Place and Landing Strip in the Detroit area is arab. So not all arabs are this zealous and strict with their religion. Good to see Playboy willing to stand up and cause some controversy. This might end up being their best selling issue of the year. I would like to see a spin off niche magazine with arab women similar to how there are niche magazines now for black, asian, hispanic, big breasted, or barely legal women.

    I understand it is a very tolerent religion, as long as you do not do anything they do not like.

    Subi is a good guy carrying on the family business. His dad started Subi's long ago, and now young Subi is doing well there. He renovated the Landing Strip and is bringing it back to life. Too bad, Muslims mistreat their women subjagating them. They should be happy a woman is successful and in Sihan's case, she is successful and doing what celebrities do.

    I can count the number of Indian dancers on one hand, the same with Arab dancers.
