Gee, we never saw this coming. Oh wait, actually we did.
A MUSLIM actress has caused a storm by posing naked for Playboy.And what culture is that exactly?
Sila Sahin has been branded a "whore" and a "western slut" after appearing topless on the cover of the German edition of the men's magazine.
And Islamic fanatics have posted threatening internet messages.
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, 25 - star of German soap Good Times, Bad Times - claimed the shoot was a reaction to the "slavery" of her youth.
She added: "What I want to say with these photos is, 'Girls, we don't have to live according to the rules imposed upon us'.
"For years I subordinated myself to various societal constraints. The Playboy photo shoot was a total act of liberation."
But Islamic internet sites are being monitored by the BND - the German intelligence agency - after threats were posted about her "shaming Muslim womanhood" and "prostituting herself for money".
One poster on the Jihad Watch website wrote: "She needs to be very careful..." Another simply said: "She must pay."
A kebab shop owner, asked on German TV what he would do if Sila were his daughter, replied: "I would kill her. I really mean that. That doesn't fit with my culture."
Maybe some of these cavemen need impotence injections like their brethren.
That sounds a LOT like the Feminism I used to hear preached in Collehge back in the late 70's - what, she hasn't gotten the Feministing AMATT Memo - that it's All Marxism All the Time, yet?
ReplyDeleteGood for her. Let's see how far liberals in the West go to protect her.
ReplyDeleteTo be honest, I think anyone would be shocked and angry if someone closely related to them were to appear in Playboy. Would you be happy if it was your daughter?

ReplyDeleteWOW!
ReplyDeleteHubbah hubbah!

Ok, perhaps you have a point... but would you threaten to kill her? I can see parents or friends being disappointed. I can maybe even see parents disowning a daughter who did this (though, IMO, that's too extreme), but honor killing?
ReplyDeleteThis will be sold out in 10s of digits in the Emirates.
ReplyDeleteI don't know what the problem is. As a member of that fine female persuasion I find it humours at the the amount of teeth gnashing that goes on, especially with people saying we're free, liberated, and can do whatever we want. If I want to show my jibblies or pose half nude? What the hell, I will because I'm me, and last time I looked I didn't have a leash around my neck. But ~10 years ago at the tender age of 21 I was a sunshine girl(Toronto). So what the hell, I enjoyed the free publicity from it too.
ReplyDeleteI think the Napier's approach to suttee is the proper response to Islam.
ReplyDelete"You say that it is your custom to burn widows. Very well. We also have a custom: when men burn a woman alive, we tie a rope around their necks and we hang them. Build your funeral pyre; [then] beside it, my carpenters will build a <span>gallows</span>. You may follow your custom. And then we will follow ours." from Wikipedia.
"<span>Girls, we don't have to live according to the rules imposed upon us."</span>
ReplyDeleteHow does posing for Playboy help? She's just trading one set of imposed misogynist rules for another.
kwo... when you say 'trading' do you mean she's actually choosing to embrace Playboy's values? That doesnt seem like imposition to me :)
ReplyDeleteShouldn't pastor Jones' critics be slamming her as well, for this provocation? ;-)
ReplyDeleteSila Sahin was born with the body Allah gave her. What, did He make a mistake? Have Muslims EVER asked themselves this question?
ReplyDeleteShe's going to need a body guard now. Please let her know that I'm available for immediate employment. I also have additional skills that round out my resume and she may be interested in.
ReplyDeleteWell thank god this is only the moderate islamic reaction...oh wait I am confused is there a moderate Islam?
ReplyDeleteShe is actively, deliberately rejecting Islam...I would think that would be obvious?
ReplyDeleteTry to excuse it all you want but there is a difference with my being shocked and depressed about my daughter appearing in Playboy and the typical Islamic family's daughter appearing. They will start out with shocked and depressed and swiftly move to murderous whereas I would never consider MURDERING MY CHILD...
ReplyDeleteI would think that would be obvious....except to apologists like you.
Actually, no, I wouldn't mind at all if my daughter appeared in Playboy. They pay well and when I often made deliveries to their offices on Sunset Blvd. in L.A. years ago, the entire place appeared to be run by women. The only man there was kept around for lifting heavy items and other manual labor. Frankly, I'd be pretty pleased with myself if I'd produced a women of the level of attractiveness they look for in their models. I wouldn't want it to be the sole measure of my child's worth but it would be a great feather in her cap.
ReplyDeleteNow, I can think of some ways my daughter could cause me gret shame if were photographed, fully clothed or otherwise, as part of some moron gathering like PETA or Code Pink.
Nudity doesn't bother me. Insanely bad political stances bother me.
In the German shop keeper's topsy-turvy world view, nude modeling is shameful, but commiting murder isn't shameful at all. How twisted is that???
ReplyDelete<span>"I would kill her. I really mean that. That doesn't fit with my culture."</span>
ReplyDeleteDon't you just love The Religion of Peace?
Yet another example that shows Islam = pure evil.
ReplyDeleteMaybe if they do kill her Germans might rethink the whole EU thing...
ReplyDeleteBut they'd all blow themselves up to get 72 of her in heaven.
ReplyDeleteas i wrote over at patterico's this morning:
ReplyDelete<span>It doesn’t fit within his culture. Just to be clear, his culture is fine with suppression of freedom of expression, killing a woman who doesn’t behave the way he wants her to, and even religious bigotry (more on that in a moment) but not with showing your nipple in a magazine. You know, we have to have priorities people!</span>
Considering that many Muslim men prefer young boys and donkeys to a fine looking womas such as this you have to wonder....
ReplyDeleteFreud would go crazy analyzing one of these men.
allah approved misogyny is one of many severe problems with islam which is dangerous no matter how it is packaged. there is no radical, moderate, hijacked or any other nuanced semanticism type of islam. there is only islam which is based on the life of a murdering 7th century warlord.
ReplyDeletethe twin fogs of political correctness & ignorance must be dispersed before western society better understands this menace. even a brief review of islamic theology & history quickly exposes the deadly roots of this evil ideology.
see the links in the pdf version below for more accurate info about islam
==========
islam is a horrible ideology for human rights
5 key things about islam
1. mythical beliefs - all religions have these (faith) because its part of being a religion: having beliefs without proof until after the believer dies. the problem is people will believe almost anything.
2. totalitarianism - islam has no seperation of church and state: sharia law governs all. there is no free will in islam: only submission to the will of allah as conveniently determined by the imams who spew vapors to feather their own nests. there are no moderate muslims: they all support sharia law.
3. violence - islam leads the pack of all religions in violent tenets for their ideology & history: having eternal canonical imperatives for supremacy at all costs and calling for violence & intimidation as basic tools to achieve these goals.
4. dishonesty - only islam has dishonesty as a fundamental tenet: this stems from allah speaking to mohamhead & abrogation in the koran which is used to explain how mo's peaceful early life was superseded by his warlord role later.
5. misogyny - present day islam is still rooted in 8th century social ethics: treating females as property of men good only for children, severely limiting their activities, dressing them in shower curtains and worse.
conclusions ??
there really are NO redeeming qualities for this muddled pile of propaganda.
islam is just another fascist totalitarian ideology used by power hungry fanatics on yet another quest for worldwide domination and includes all the usual human rights abuses & suppression of freedoms.
