		<description>Why non muslims want to see their women in minimum clothing or  naked. May be their women have played all cards to attract their opposit except the last one!
For them  women are sex symbol. That&#039;s why they are very surprise to see some women in cloths.</description>

		<description>Moreover, it&#039;s silly to see why so many people are expressing their amazement how a &quot;beauty contest&quot; can take place without women wearing bikinis.  Well, such folks must get out of their parochialism and widen their minds.  First of all, as clarified by Hind Ahmed, this wasn&#039;t precisely a &quot;beauty pageant.&quot;  It was more an intellectual competition.  Secondly, even if it was a beauty pageant contest, such contests aren&#039;t simply the monopoly of countries like the West and India which consider it to be a source of pride for a woman to show her nakedness.  In the Muslim world, the culture and thoughts are the opposite.  We consider that showing our nakedness shatters our dignity .. and personally I agree totally.  However, here I&#039;m not arguing about what&#039;s right or wrong.  I&#039;m simply a matter of being different.  If the non-Muslim world truly appreciates the existance of multi-culturalism and diversity, they ought not to be so self-centered.</description>

		<description>It&#039;s a very nice event and I&#039;m glad it was different from the usual beauty pageant contests held in the West where women are only judged on the basis of their body measurements.  Body is everything for women in the West and places like India.  How humiliating for a woman and how much social pressure they have to endure for such useless &amp; superficial mindsets!  Talent shows like Miss Arab World enhance a woman&#039;s dignity much more.  Alhamdulilah.  My only suggestion, they should also invite women from other Muslim countries, strictly maintain its dignity and call it Miss Islamic World.</description>

		<description>Not to disappoint anyone; but it was not a beauty pageant. It was a competition among under graduate students for morals, ethics and good manners. No walking down the podium was presented; it was much more like an intellectual competition.
however, they are beauty pageants in the Arab world but in certain countries like Lebanon and Egypt and the contestants participate in the global pageants, and you can see models from countries like morocco, Syria, Iraq and Jordan participate in less known regional pageants. 
Such things are forbidden in the GCC (Gulf Council Countries). And one more thing, Pakistan is not an Arab country; it is a non Arab Muslim country.</description>
