Sharia Alert from our friend and ally. From the Daily Mail:
A prize winning bikini contest model who claimed she was the Pakistani representative has sparked outrage in the predominantly muslim country.
Stunning Mariyah Moten, 22, won the ‘Best in Media’ title – for being the most photographed and interviewed contestant – at the pageant in the Chinese resort of Beihai.
But furious Pakistani authorities say she did not have permission to represent the country, where many women only go out in public covered in a veil.
They are now threatening the model, who grew up in Pakistan but holds a US passport after she moved there eight years ago, with restrictions on entering her homeland.
“We have asked our missions in Washington and Beijing to investigate this because it is against our policy, culture and religion,” senior Culture Ministry official Abdul Hafeez Chaudhry said.
“She is an American passport holder. She is an American national of Pakistani origin, so how did she get entry as a Pakistani?”
Well, I’m glad they have launched an investigation in two countries on this most vital of matters.
