In the glorious Islamic caliphate, there will be no beauty pageants: Group files complaint against Miss Indonesia. (Hat tip: cbinflux.)
JAKARTA (Reuters) - A militant Islamic group has filed a police report against Indonesia’s Miss Universe candidate accusing her of indecency, a lawyer for the organization said Tuesday.
Nadine Chandrawinata’s participation in the contest and display of her body in a swimsuit there “is actually insulting for Indonesian dignity and women,” Islamic Defenders Front (FPI) attorney Sugito told Reuters.
Chandrawinata did not make it to the finals of the Sunday competition in Los Angeles, which was won by Miss Puerto Rico, but she had drawn heavy media coverage in Indonesia, partly because of her mixed Indonesian-German parentage and Eurasian looks.
Sugito said FPI had also filed complaints against four people involved in sponsoring and organizing Chandrawinata’s participation.
“I am worried that Nadine is only victim of their ambition,” he said.
