Thanks for bringing that up, Ach. That's exactly the point actually. They are trying to make it appear as though female bodies are no 7chouma, and we can just have them showed like that in magazines, then in advertisements, then in the street, and it will be alright.
Ach, we are a Muslim country where such a behavior is not tolerated. Posing nude for a magazine is a mere provocation, and a poor attempt to bring in some ideas that are not compatible with our religion and culture.
What's worst is that they didn't publish a photo of some foreign model. They insisted on her being a Moroccan, z3ma they didn't brink anything from outside, it's already there, and they are just shedding light on it.

yes...sigh...i agree...and i understand...but i think that there are other ways of looking at the image than as a moral tug-of-war, that is the most simple and immediate reaction to the image. and it is a valid reaction and it may very well have these effects of attacking religion or culture of morocco but what if it's not only about that? i think we see images every day in moroccan news, tv, etc that could be considered 7achouma but ppl dont have this reaction because they think that the images are not there just only to shock, but for other reasons, for news or to educate or something else, or the images are removed from being offensive to them on a personal level--nichane prints images like this frequently. in my humble opinion an overwhelming number of things in this modern world can be slapped with this designation-- any pop singer picture, middle school health class textbook, song lyric -- but we still live in this world and interact in it, and there are only certain things that shock for certain reasons; even if ALL of this should go against what we believe is culturally respectful, we only get pissed when we see NAKED WOMAN!!!-- like yeah obviously it is a provocation (ps that dude is not foreign either hes a moroccan to go to this extent but we have been desensitized to every day stuff that is probably worse or just as bad, and as a society we have certain prejudices that have the danger of causing us to focus and restrict unfairly on some things over others. wach fhmti ach bgheit n9ol?

Contrary to what you're thinking, part of a man's body (belt to knee) is a 3awra too (if you know the word). So it would equally unacceptable to see a man's naked body on the cover of a magazine.
You're trying to make it sound like it's about putting women down as mere sexual objects. So to make you happy, there you go, your argument is down. Come up with something else.

but we see the moroccan football players in short shorts all the time!!!!!

Our dear Achminfar9 ! u just don't get it...

This is should not even be up to debate, we should not come to the phase when we talk about the way we must see that image or the diference between the image of a man or a women. there's just no other way !!
there's a naked women above whom is written "femmes de Maroc" <--- for God's sake.
it's not up to any phylosophy...it should not have happened at first place.

that's a challenge, & if nobody stops them they will attack again...if this time the image was a black & white side sight, the next could be colored front sight.

PS , have u ever watched "Marock" ?
