An Indonesian version of Playboy has gone on sale in the world's most populous Muslim nation.

A spokesman for the magazine, which has promised to tone down its erotic photographs, said copies would be available in major cities on Friday.

The launch has drawn criticism from Muslim clerics, who condemn the magazine as a corrupting influence.

Earlier this year there were street protests in many towns when the magazine announced its plans to launch.
 
Maxim and other men's magazines are already selling with similar content, and huge popularity. So what makes Playboy so different if the content has the same limitations?

If they really want to remove Playboy, they should remove all other men's magazines with similar content. These are Islamic nations and individual freedom is not what we are used to, but some consistency would go a long way!

So I agree, WTF?!
