Group protest against Miss World in Jakarta,say event must not hold


The 2013 Miss World pageant is scheduled to
hold at the Sentul International Convention
Center in Jakarta, Indonesia on Saturday
September 28th..but it won't hold if the Muslim
women in the country have their way.
For days now, members of an Islamic group
called Hizbut Tahrir have been protesting
against the pageant in 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 and Miss World Organization say
it's too late to find a new location but promised
that contestants would not be allowed to wear
bikini at the event.
Same thing happened in Nigeria in 2002.
