Miss Indonesia under fire over 'insulting' swimsuit parade

No, not Miss Universe!! Now this is serious, folks. Poor Miss Indonesia didn't even make the finals, and I know the competition was pretty tough this year. Personally, I was all for Miss Japan and Miss Bolivia. But punishment back home, all AFTER making her the Nation's representative in this flesh-fest? Come on, at least stone them BEFORE they make it to the finals.

Actually, there are numerous reports on this poor woman's struggle now, which has become much more serious than her quest for the title, but I am linking the one from thereligion of peace.com (TROP):

"A MILITANT Islamic group has filed a police report against Indonesia's Miss Universe candidate, accusing her of indecency.

Nadine Chandrawinata's participation in the contest and display of her body in a swimsuit "is actually insulting for Indonesian dignity and women", Islamic Defenders Front lawyer Sugito said yesterday......

.....Mr Sugito said the Islamic Defenders Front had also filed complaints against four people involved in sponsoring and organising Ms Chandrawinata's participation.

Under Indonesian law, police would have to investigate whether there was sufficient evidence for a case under the complaint, and if so, turn their findings over to prosecutors for a decision on whether it merited going to court.

The offences carried potential sentences ranging from two to six years in jail, Mr Sugito said. The posing requirements of the competition offended the standards not just of Islam but of other religions, he said."

Check out the rest. Note the use of the word "insulting" in the title as well regarding her bikini appearance. Will the ummah stop at nothing, or will they continue to be insulted at every turn? Ooooh, I feel a cliffhanger coming on.....
