Sep 26 - Muslim Extremists Threaten Miss World Protest
With the Miss World Beauty Pageant’s Finale set for this weekend, Muslim extremists have threatened to attack the pageant, which they have dubbed ‘pornography’. The Daily Mail reports that the finale has been moved to Hindu-majority Bali where extremist influence is minimal.
The pageant was set to take place in Jakarta, Indonisia. Miss Gibraltar, who currently poses as number 1 people’s choice, is currently in Indonisia for the pageant.
Protestors have threatened to travel to Bali to boycott the event because ‘it is unacceptable’. The East Java branch of the Islamic Defenders Front plan to head to the island of Saturday despite heavy security at main entry points.
Adjie S. Soeratmadjie, corporate secretary of TV network RCTI, which is broadcasting Miss World, told The Jakarta Globe that they are confident that police will do everything necessary to ensure safety.’
This week, Culture Minister Steven Linares wished Miss Gibraltar Maroua Kharbouch luck in the finals.
