Someone in a hijab probably won't get very far unless there's an agenda behind the voting, so it's up to them if they wanna limit their chances

It's an "interesting" story, the news can run with it if they wish.

So isn't that some sort of contradiction to the point of wearing the covering at all? I wonder how they do the swimsuit section.

I guess they can be sexy

I'm putting it out there and saying that it's not sexy.

There's a time and a place for a Hijab, and a beauty pageant isn't one of them imo.

Oh come on, beauty doesn't have to be sexy. Well maybe it does for men!

[DemolitionRed]

She clearly wasn't worried about winning. She's the first hijab wearing woman to enter a beauty contest and why not?

Are we saying we shouldn't have Coptic Christians, Orthodox Jews and Muslims women in beauty pageants because their attire makes them ugly?

Personally I don't find women wearing Hijabs sexy, it's just my preference.

I do however think that if she wants to wear the Hijab in a Beauty Pageant then go for it, if anything it will harm her chances at winning these events as it isn't mainstream.
