MISS WORLD CONTEST SPARKS RELIGION TENSION IN INDONESIA.
Angry protesters in Indonesia denounce the contest where women sashay in swimsuits and form fitting evening wear, calling it insulting to Muslims and triggering threats of violence.Islamic group urge the government to closed down the contest. Hardliners burned signs featuring the image of last year's winner Wenxia Yu of China that read "Reject Miss World" They also presented what they seem is appropriate attire for beauty contests- long dresses with full head scarves.
"It's only beauty,beauty and beauty and also body, body and body, so that's why we consider it as contest that exploits women physically." said Ismail Yusanto, spokesman of Indonesia's Hizbut Tahrir, a conservative Islamic group.
In attempt to appease religious concerns, the peasant have scrapped the swimsuit competition and replaced it with less-revealing beachwear attire.
Also, finals were originally held on the outskirts of Jakara, but angry protesters forced the event to relocate to the Hindu resort Island of Bali. Members of the group, Islamic Defenders Front (FPI) tried to travel to Bali, but were stopped by the police.
