The Indonesians have a lot of nerve complaining, since it's their country which gave us Laura "Black Emanuelle" Gemser.
Nudity is the least of Indonesia's worries.
"It will be disastrous for Indonesia," he told AFP.
No, islam is disasterous for Indonesia. Besides, Indonesia has one of the highest population explosions on the planet. That ain't happenin' because of Playboy.
Better Question:
These reactions from the heart of child sex and child slavery?
I'm waiting for the "stopped clock" folks (claiming 'stopped clock' for Islamic fundaMENTALism for the millionth time).
I believe in freedom of speech, but Irfan Awwas is absolutely correct. Playboy magazine had exactly that effect on the United States.
I think they are within their rights protesting Playboy. They should boycott the magazine and all who are affiliated with it in Indonesia as boycott is the most pure form of free speech.
I understand. In a culture that mutilates their women's genitals to keep them from having pleasure, kills female family members to keep the family 'honor', buggers little boys and kills members of other religions, there is simply no place for semi-revealing photos of beautiful nude women. /s
Yes; it would just terrible if more defiled young women had to be murdered because they were raped by moral men who clearly had no choice. < /sarcasm >
Brings to mind recent comments by Salman Rushdie:

The real problem is our women are very hairy and we do not wish to see them in the light of day.
Big Deal! I think the television evangelists, in this country, are still ranting and raving about Playboy. Perhaps, the television evangelists want to hoard all the copies of Playboy for themselves.
Good!
I doubt Indonesian nudes are high on anyone's "see" list....
Semper Fi
The irony of this, to me, is that Muslims by the boatload (who can do so) travel to non-Muslim countries where they freely engage in drinking like fish, hiring call girls and smuggling liquor and porn mags back into their oppressive Muslim countries.
Once at home, with all of their appetites quenched, revert to their pios, holier-than-thou, smug, arrogant attitudes and point the fickle finger of fate at the west. And, their fellow travelers, the American MSM can't provide enough cover for them.
Sixty cents? Now that's a cheap wank if I ever heard of one ;-)
Nor do we stone our women who get raped or gun our sisters down in the street for marrying the man of their choice. Nor do we own slaves and have sex with them and say 'Allah says it's okay, have fun.'
"Totally different," fer sure.
The only culture they have can be seen in a Petri dish under a microscope, still crawling around in the 'slime.'
No wonder they hate life. They can't escape their self-imposed chains and they know it. Why else would they want to convert the world? It's because misery loves company, of course. And their misery won't be complete until everyone is miserable. It's like communism.
And it's no wonder its easy for them to recruit suicide bombers. There is always a sediment drifting to the surface of the Lake of Misery, waiting to take a short cut to be 'put out of their misery.'
'They shoot horses, don't they?', is a fitting analogy to a cult destined to boogie til they drop and puke.
American Christians Furious Over Playboy - of course that was 40 some years ago.
