An Indonesian court has
rejected indecency charges against the editor of Indonesian
Playboy, finding that the magazine's slightly risqué
pictures of clothed women "could not be categorized as pornography"
because all the naughty bits were covered. Islamic activists, who
want to forbid women from wearing "provocative clothing" in
everyday life as well as magazine spreads, are pissed:
A leader of the Islamic Defenders Front, Irwan Asidi, warned his organisation would "declare war" on Playboy. "We will attack the Playboy office and sweep up copies of the magazine, which will destroy the morals of Indonesian children."
