Quite interesting, eh?! No Religon or philosophy can keep off men from wanking... I would link you the article but it`s in german.

This sounds every intersting indeed, though I have to say it also sounds suspiciously like propaganda. But again, no clue about that situation.

The same works, I would imagine, in the United States. Its ever more clear that if their religion cannot be respected, it should at least not be attacked or defamed this way.

It's a very touchy subject. Is a picture of a woman with her breats exposed, in a burka, a form of attack, or defamation against Islam? I think it's a matter of taste, personally, and the picture in question is nowhere near as bad as what you might find in some pr0n magazines.
Too be honest, even though I saw the paper on the newstands in Warsaw, I didn't even notice the breats. This is Europe, and we have a slightly different outtake on these matters. The first time I heard about this issue was on FARK. We have a small muslim community in Poland - left from the wars with Turkey several hundred years ago. We also have a few immigrants from arab countries. So far I haven't heard a sigle protest.
On to the issue at hand - the arabs mentioned in the article refuse to sell that magazine. I guess that as long as it's their business, they are allowed to do that. None the less, they are banning a newspaper that not only was printed half a world away, but was not even intended for them to read in the first place. It's like I would refuse to sell a vietnamese newspaper in my kiosk stand in Warsaw, because I heard that there's an article in there that mentions a story of Polish people killing jews during World War II (a very touchy subject).
I think there's something wrong with that picture, what do you think?
