“Muslim women in headscarves and elaborately embroidered dresses took to the stage Wednesday for the finale of an Islamic beauty pageant in Indonesia, a riposte to the Miss World contest that has sparked hardline anger. ‘We’re just trying to show the world that Islam is beautiful,’ Obabiyi Aishah Ajibola, a 21-year-old contestant from Nigeria, told AFP backstage in the capital, Jakarta, before the final got under way. ‘We are free and the hijab (Muslim headscarf) is our pride,’ she said, adding that the pageant was ‘nothing like Miss World, where women expose their bodies’.”
