Peace Upon U All.
This is the dark age of indenessia with many disaster, corrupter, radicals and burning mags hehehe.
I think this is not the way WE as Muslims should do, there is a way of the solution better than doing extrem protest, it show how bad WE Muslim are to other realigous. For all you know, Islam is not just a Religion but the way of life. But WE Muslim with corrupters, rape, kidnap, torture and anything else like VR said make Islam bad to others religions eye.
Those extremist who burn mags, office and something that you look bad in Arab Country make others like ‘Ihaknt’ hate US, come my Muslim brothers N Sisters, let’s show them how good is Islam, atrract them with our beutiful way of life like what our Prophet teach us.
There is no Islamic Countries that really show the truth of Islam, either Pakistan, Egypt or Arabic, and some of them give the bad image of Islam.
Hmm, for them who want to know the Best of Islam or The Beutiful of Islam, you better ask Angela Collins, a beautiful blonde girl from California, who come from Catholic family, why she convert to Islam, why she atracted to be Muslim.
And the fact is, in USA there’s more than 2000 americans converted to Islam every year.
May Allah bless you and me. Peace upon you all.
I don’t mind playboy magazine published in Indonesia, I think that’s great, get them some educated about some thing they ned to know.
me myself have not see all the edition if the magazine, but I’m sure there are no nude photos, basically is same magazine they have in the US, no nude photos.(personally I like to be one of the models.
) )
And look at that, I saw some photos, a Muslim girl looking at the playboy magazine, and majority who buy the magazine is Muslim.
And it’s not about Muslim. The people who already have a corrupted mind, of course they will get violent that’s natural for a criminals.
1ndra,
I am a latecomer to this but you should ask yourself what would happen if you accuse those pakistanis are not true Muslims but islam ktp, they would jihad your arse.
WOW. I’m an American. Do you guys have any idea how you sound? How you are perceived by the developed world? It’s pitiful. You say anything is justifiable to further your cause, and yet that same practice is not okay for others? The hypocrisy is startling.
So, if it’s alright to further your goals by any means necessary, what makes you different from your enemy? If it’s acceptable to kill in the name of your god can you fault the superiority of your opponent’s better tactics? It only demonstrates your weakness.
I, in no way, advocate pornography or the disrespect of local customs. But let’s face some facts, there are many locally produced indigenous publications in Jakarta that are far more offensive and vulgar than Playboy, and no one is even mentioning the filth and corruption from within. As you know, your problem is internal, and it is Indonesia that suffers from it’s own corruption, no matter who the devil is – the responsibility still lies with you and your culture.
If outsiders are there, it is because of your own leaders weakness. Until the world can get rid of mythology, superstition, ignorance and arrogance, nothing will ever change. Your country, to many in the civilized world, is stuck in the dark ages- and it’s not that your concerns aren’t valid, they are, it’s as some of you mentioned above- it is your ACTIONS that tell the world where you are ‘at’, developmentally speaking.
There is no other way to illustrate the point without offending Indonesians with this statement: Consider a human and a monkey, similar genetic material, both mammals, with forward looking eyes and incisors on the teeth, and many other similarities. Would anyone consider inviting a monkey into the house to share plumbing and bedding, the kitchen and the bathroom? Of course not! Even though monkeys can be taught to ride bicycles, wear clothing, smoke cigarettes and handle sign language, they are still prone to irrational, animalistic violence and disregard for consequences, because an animal has no concept of the past, future, and present. In that same way, many undeveloped countries can be compared to this analogy.
If the civilized world is the house, and the undeveloped, or third world, is the jungles and forests, how can we continue allow you to defecate and destroy the house? You build nothing, invent nothing, produce nothing and receive all. You refuse to clean up your own ‘backyard’, domesticate it, and grow from within, as Europe has done. You cling to antiquated, expired ideals and concepts that are less than primitive. That is not to say people aren’t entitled to their religious beliefs, opinions and thoughts- they should be.
The problem with less than developed countries is not necessarily about buildings, resources, technology, autonomy or access to such, it is about letting your minds evolve and keep thinking deeper and deeper. People, in general, with darker shades of skin tend to have more of a problem with mental evolution than those with lighter skin. This may not be pleasing, but you all know I’m ‘keeping it real’. This is why you have no infrastructure, and why you continually fail, no matter how much the western man ‘oppresses’ or ‘corrupts’ your people. It also has no bearing on your failure how much money, aid, forgiven debts and gentility you are extended, because you still fail. People think it’s about money, but it’s really about how you handle yourselves. Jews aren’t evil, they simply work hard, save their money and love their children. Once the Muslim world learns to love their children more than they hate Jews will they be elevated to the civilized world.
I’m the one girl of Indonesian moslem. I’m the liberalism moslem, but I always do respect my religion and others religion. I’ve seen good and bad things happened in Indonesian cultures. Unfair if we’ve thought that all of true in our’s side, maybe that’s our’s fault. Not caused by playboy magazine or whatever nude things can be a slip attitude off, but it’s being in your self. Are you will decide to be good or not. Choose one of those on your hand.
Look into your self, see, are you good human or not!
Let’s change our’s mind be real, change our’s self, and do anything you can do for your’s life, your’e religion, and your’e country.
See the reality, refix our attitude.
It´s great news for individual liberties. I was very happy to read that the chief of Playboy Indonesia was acquitted. The fact that criminal proceedings were carried against him was ridiculous. Welcome to the XXI century! It does not have anything to do with religion, that you are Christian, Muslim, Jewish, Buddhist, Hindu or animist. LIBERTY and HUMAN RIGHTS are UNIVERSAL, UNALIENABLE granted by natural law. Forget about silly beliefs and read about the age of European enlightenment instead. If you do not like to read the Playboy, simply do not buy it. It is so simple.
