Outrage over Muslim woman's Playboy cover The West Australian




Threats have been made against a Muslim actress who has posed naked for German Playboy, according to reports.

Islamic fanatics had posted threatening internet messages after Sila Sahin appeared topless on the cover of the men's magazine, The Sun said.

The 25-year-old TV soap star, who was raised in Germany by conservative Turkish parents, had been labelled a "whore" and a "western slut".

"Her parents are said to have reacted with 'horror' at the 12-page coverage, and her mother has apparently cut off all contact," The Sun said.

Ms Sahin said 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."Islamic internet sites were being monitored by the German intelligence agency after threats were posted about her "shaming Muslim womanhood" and "prostituting herself for money", The Sun said
