Jakarta – Former Baywatch actress and movie star Pamela Anderson has donated $25,000 from a Playboy cover shoot to a charity that helps Indonesian disaster victims, only to find her pledge of help harshly snubbed by members of the hard-line group Islamic Defenders Front.

"I've just shot another Playboy cover that will debut in January for Hugh Hefner, at his request – I adore him. Playboy and I decided to do this, so I could donate earnings from the shoot to Waves for Water," Anderson said in her Web site.

However, Anderson's intention to donate money to victims in Indonesia was challenged by the hard-line group Islamic Defenders Front (FPI) who declared the donation 'haram' or forbidden because the money was obtained through what they deemed to be immoral acts.

"If she wants to do nude shoots, it means she is challenging a bigger disaster to happen in Indonesia. It's haram," Habib Umar Salim, the head of FPI's advisory council was quoted as saying by Metro TV.

"FPI operated an aid center for Merapi victims, why don't you [the media] write about it? Don't just write that FPI can only kill people," Salim said.

Waves for Water has helped people in Sumatra and Bali and mitigated the effects of disasters in Haiti and Chile.

"It's an amazing group that supplies water filters to countries that are in need of clean drinking water. It has already made a huge difference in Indonesia, Pakistan and Haiti. I'm so honored to work with Playboy again to support this life altering cause!," Anderson said.
