This
year's Miss World pageant which is to be held at the Sentul International
Convention Center in Jakarta, Indonesia, on Saturday September 28th, is
at risk of not holding if the Muslim women in the country succeed in their protest.
For
a while now, the members of an Islamic group known as 'Hizbut Tahrir'
have been protesting against the pageant in the city of Jakarta.
Yesterday,
they converge outside the office of the local organizer of the beauty
contest, MNC media group, warning them not to stage the pageant in the
city.
Other
cities are also holding protests, demanding that the permit to hold
Miss World pageant in their country be revoked, saying that the pageant
runs against their culture.
MNC
Group as well as the Miss World Organization says it's too late to
find another location but promised that contestants would not be allowed
to wear bikini at this year's pageant.
