Muslim Miss England raises some eyebrows

Some stimulating observations by Junaid Quadri about the coronation of an Afghani-born Muslim woman as Miss England.

Junaid reports how one rather benighted "leader" in the UK went so far as to more less declare the woman a kafir. 

Now, I think beauty pageants are silly, demeaning spectacles devoid of redeeming features–the explanation provided by another Muslim contestant that her involvement was motivated by the noble objective of proving the existence of "attractive British Iraqi girls" is really a classic–but it never ceases to amaze how so many Muslims basically become Kharijites when the topic turns to women’s bodies and sexuality.  So much for that quaint notion of  Laa ikraaha fi din  (2:256).
