Sila Sahin had until now been regarded as a glowing example of how a modern Muslim girl should behave in a multicultural society. A successful actress starring in German television soap opera Good Times, Bad Times, she pleased her many fans and made her Turkish family proud. But her latest move has shocked some of those fans, and enraged those closest to her. Posing provocatively on the cover of German Playboy magazine with one breast exposed, Sila Sahin is apparently sending a clear and deliberate message to her conservative Turkish family.

Ms Sahin's declared intention was to used the controversial Playboy photoshoot as a call to action for other Muslim girls who suffer the effects of their strict backgrounds, where women's choices are often limited, husbands are chosen for the girls and chastity closely controlled. - Daily Mail
