I was recently hearing from some people about what a wonderful sign of Islamic tolerance was the fact that, although there was mob violence, the government was not moving against Playboy in Indonesia. So much for that. From Reuters, with thanks to Kaosktrl:
JAKARTA (Reuters) - The editor of Playboy Indonesia and two models whose pictures appeared in the magazine's first edition are being investigated for violating indecency laws, police said on Friday.The magazine's first edition sparked protests in Indonesia in April although it had no nudity. Less flesh was visible in the issue than many other magazines on sale in the world's most populous Muslim country.
Jakarta police spokesman Ketut Untung Yoga said models Andara Early and Kartika Gunawan had posed indecently in the edition, which was issued from the Indonesian capital, and editor-in-chief Erwin Arnada should also be held responsible.
"There are three suspects. Each will be processed based on their roles. Many more may come," he said.

freewoman-
"...what part of these women was bared?"
If they don't watch out, it'll be their Isles of Langerhan.
I love the HUMOR page of this Muslim Playboy though.
Especially the last joke, in the first issue:
What do you call a suicide bomber with the hiccups?
Bam-Bam.

OK profitsbeard - if you're doing jokes, I still find this one amusing, even if many here have seen it before (but I post it here for those who haven't):
Two Middle Eastern mothers are sitting in the cafe chatting over a pint of goat's milk. The older of the mothers pulls her bag out and starts flipping through pictures and they start reminiscing.
"This is my oldest son Mohammed. He's 24 years old now"
"Yes, I remember him as a baby" says the other mother cheerfully.
"He's a martyr now, though" mum confides.
"Oh so sad dear," says the other.
"And this is my second son Kalid. He's 21."
"Oh, I remember him," says the other happily, "he had such curly hair when he was born."
"He's a martyr, too," says mum quietly.
"Oh gracious me .," says the other.
"And this is my third son. My baby. My beautiful Ahmed. He's 18," she whispers.
"Yes," says the friend enthusiastically. "I remember when he first started school."
"He's a martyr, also" says mum, with tears in her eyes.
After a pause and a deep sigh, the second Muslim mother looks wistfully at the photographs and says...
"Kids these days - they blow up so fast, don't they?"

Sounds like there are more then a few "whited sepulchres" in Indonesia.
Leader praises 'legalised prostitution'
ETHAN MCNERN
INDONESIA'S vice-president has said he sees nothing wrong in Arab men paying local women to marry, then divorcing them days or hours later, and suggested the practice - dismissed by critics as legalised prostitution - could boost tourism.
Jusuf Kalla made the off-the-cuff remarks at a travel industry seminar on how to attract more Arab visitors to Indonesia.
Kalla said many Arab tourists travelled to the hill town of Puncak, near Jakarta, to enter into short-term marriage contracts with Indonesian women.
"We need different kinds of marketing campaigns, more targeted. At the moment most Arabs go to Puncak. If they go there looking for widows or divorcees that is not our business, it is not a problem," he said.
"So what if the man goes home, the lady gets a small house, that is good isn't it?"
Women activists say the weddings, which are not recognised by the state but are blessed by Islamic clerics for a fee, are legalised prostitution and encourage poor families to sell their daughters for sex.
Reports say the practice is common throughout Indonesia, and most grooms are local men.
Puncak is notorious for prostitution and signs in Arabic testify to its popularity with Arab visitors. But it was unclear why Mr Kalla believed Arabs went there for short-term marriages.
Hat tip, the Scotsman.

Q: How many Muslims does it take to change a light bulb?
A: None. Mohammed didn't use light bulbs in 600 AD, so neither will they.

Q: How many Muslims does it take to change a light bulb?
A: None. They will wait for a Western infidel to do it for them.

As you are on about Muslim Jokes, here is a nice one
Question:-
What is the difference between a Muslim and a parrot?
Answer:-
None, apart from when you teach a parrot, you don't beat it with a stick.

From what I've read, there's no nudity in the Indon Playboy. So when an Indonesian man says he reads Playboy for the articles, he's telling the truth.
I don't know why Playboy bothers. They must know they are putting the people involved in the magazine in danger. I guess they believe that rubbish about Indonesia being such a wonderful model of moderate Islam.
When will the world wake up?

Droll!
How many Mohammedans does it take to change a light bulb?
All of them.
(One to hold it, and 1.2 billion to screw the Earth.)

Q: How many Muslims does it take to change a lightbulb ?
A: None. If the lightbulb has died, it is the will of Allah, and it would be blasphemy to attempt to change it.
"A chap walks in to a sex shop in London and asks for an inflateable doll.
The sales attendant ask him whether he'd like a male or female. "female, pls" , he says.
Black or white, sir? "White, thank you" he replies.
Christian or Muslim, sir? "I say, what on earth has religion to do with a sex toy" exclaims the customer.
Replies the attendant, in a whisper, "the Muslim dolls tend to blow themselves up, sir""

There were 3 men waiting for a bus ride in Montana, 1. a cowboy 2. an indian and 3. a muslim. The cowboy trying to make small talk asked the other 2 how life was treating them. The indian not really wanting a conversation says "Once before you cowboys came we were many and now we are few." The muslim sees his chance and tells the other 2, "Once we were few and now we are many, so watch your back." The cowboy looks up at the muslim and says. "We ain't played cowboys and muslims yet."
