Playboy Indonesia has had a rough beginning in the country. Long before the printing of its first edition, it had already sparked protests from political youth groups and Muslim organizations. A day after its first edition, the Islam Defenders Front (FPI) attacked the magazine's editorial office in South Jakarta. The Jakarta Post talked to some people about the issue.

Siti Yulaekha, 21, is a journalist with a local television station in West Jakarta. She lives in Joglo, West Jakarta: Although I disagree with the printing of Playboy in Indonesia, I don't support FPI's attack. There must be a better way to stop the magazine from publishing here.

The attack will only give the impression that Islam is a religion of violence to non-Muslim communities.

I think it is already too late for the country to stop the publishers from printing the magazine, since the government has issued them a business license. But it would be better if the government set regulations regarding the distribution of such magazines, so that children and juveniles would not read them.

Rini Murbaningsih, 22, is an employee of an insurance company in Cipinang, East Jakarta. She lives in Bintaro, Tangerang: I think it's OK for people to have different views, but when it comes to attacking an office with stones, that's brutality.

I'm not totally sure about this, but it seems that it's FPI's mission to violently attack any (business or organization) with a different viewpoint to its own, so the members get the itch for violence each time there is a difference in points of view.

Besides, why only Playboy? Why don't they protest about other porn magazines being circulated here? Several licensed magazines and tabloids here do actually provide "real" porn.

In the end, I think it's the government's responsibility to stop all the controversy over the magazine. The government can't always act as if nothing has happened.

If attacks like that happen again, other investors may think twice about starting a business here.

Adi Ferdiyan, 24, is a student at a state university in Bogor. He lives in Jakasampurna, Bekasi: Of course I am against FPI's attacks. When Muslims fight against being labeled terrorists with more violence, they only proved that Islam is a violent religion.

Just take a look at what happened after the attacks, Playboy's sales are in fact increasing. People are even more curious about it than before.

And what is it left for the FPI? They have to deal with police interrogations for damaging the magazine's editorial office.

The magazine is totally protected by law in Indonesia, since the government has allowed them to operate here. Only the government can stop the magazine from being published.
