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.
