Pamela Anderson’s Playboy donation rebuffed by hardline Muslim group: report

A plan by former “Baywatch” star Pamela Anderson to donate her $25,000 Playboy cover shoot fee to a charity that helps Indonesian disaster victims was condemned Monday by a hardline Islamic group.

Anderson announced her plans on her own website, “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.”

But the Islamic Defenders Front on Monday told Indonesia’s Metro TV that the donation to the charity — which works to bring clean drinking water to disaster hit zones — would be “against the law of God” because it was obtained through “immoral acts.”

“If she wants to be photographed naked, then she is challenging a bigger disaster to happen in Indonesia. It’s haram [forbidden],” Habib Umar Salim, the head of FPI’s advisory council said.
