A Turkish Muslim actress has caused a storm by posing naked for Playboy

Sila Sahin has been branded a whore and a western slut after appearing topless on the cover of the skin magazine and Islamic fanatics have posted threatening Internet messages. 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, claimed that the shoot was a reaction to the slavery of her youth. Islamic Internet sites are being monitored after threats were posted about her shaming Muslim womanhood and prostituting herself for money. A kebab shop owner, asked 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."
