Can a Muslim Girl Enter a Beauty Contest?
• Religious Meddlers, Do-gooders
Sarah Mendly may be the first British Muslim to win the Miss England title. I have about as much use for beauty pageants as I do a capsaicin coated dildo. But I await the day there won't be anyone of any faith anywhere in the world who doesn't want to spoil a girl's innocent fun.
Hashim Sulaiman, of the Liverpool Islamic Institute, said: There is no way a Muslim girl should be playing any part in this competition, because it is unlawful. The ladies in that contest are always very scantily dressed and the only part of the body that should be on display are the face, the hands and the feet.
I would like this girl to withdraw from the contest immediately. I do not know what she was thinking in entering in the first place and I do not know what her parents were thinking when they allowed her to do so.
Iraqi favourite to win Miss England is overexposed, say Muslim leaders

First Muslim Miss England crowned:
“A teenager who was born in Uzbekistan has become the first Muslim beauty contestant to be crowned Miss England.
Hammasa Kohistani, 18, said she was “happy to make history” and was looking forward to representing England in the Miss World championships in China.
She was born in Tashkent, central Uzbekistan, after her parents were forced to flee Afghanistan. “

the fact that the islam law says that only the face, the hands and the feet of women should be displayed doesn’t necessarily make it right and ok for everyone. the girl is the owner of her body and being 18 or over is responsable, according to the STATE LAW, of herself. so girl do your thing!
