The nude pictures of a Muslim actress in the German May 2011 issue of Playboy are stirring up outrage in the Muslim community.
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 men’s magazine.
Islamic fanatics have posted threatening Internet messages against her for shaming Muslim womanhood and prostituting herself for money,reports the Sun.
“She needs to be very careful…” Another simply said: “She must pay,” said a poster on the Jihad Watch website.
The Islamic Community of Germany has also called for a boycott of Sila.
Sila,raised in Germany by conservative Turkish parents,says she fears being spat at and shamed.
Her parents are said to have reacted with horror at the 12-page coverage,and her mother has apparently cut off all contact.
Sila,star of German soap Good Times,Bad Times,claimed the shoot was a reaction to the slavery of her youth.
“What I want to say with these photos is,”Girls,we don’t have to live according to the rules imposed upon us, she said.
“For years I subordinated myself to various societal constraints. The Playboy photo shoot was a total act of liberation,” she added.
