Miss Saudi Arabia Forced Out of Beauty Pageant After Intense Muslim Backlash

40

Of course, in my mind she looks ridiculous, wrapped up like a burrito, but it appears she can’t even do that.

Is there any more hateful, misogynistic ideology on the face of the earth? As a fierce and fearsome woman, this hatred and shaming of women is abhorrent to me. It makes my skin crawl. If slaves wish to live under such theocratic tyranny, that is their affair. But bring it to my country and you are going to have the fight of your life on your hands. It’s why I do what I do.

Miss Saudi Arabia Forced Out of Beauty Pageant

Newsweek, December 22, 2017:

A beauty queen from Saudi Arabia dropped out of the Miss Arab World contest after she was heavily attacked online for participating in the beauty pageant.

Malak Youssef, a 24-year-old beauty queen, was nominated by a Saudi civil society organization to compete as Miss Saudi Arabia in the Miss Arab World pageant held in Morocco on Saturday. But the young woman chose to drop out of the race before the crowning ceremony due to intense online backlash from people who said she was misrepresenting her conservative Muslim country by participating in a beauty contest.

“I announce my withdrawal from the final competition rounds in ‘Miss Arab World 2018’. I am happy with just carrying the Miss Saudi Arabia title,” Youssef announced in a video posted to her Twitter account. She also said she was shocked and saddened by the backlash.

Ultra-conservative Sunni Saudi Arabia does not have an official national beauty pageant, and women in the country are expected to wear an abaya, or a robe that covers their entire body, in public. Some Saudi social media users argued that it is inappropriate for Saudi women to compete in a pageant because it goes against the country’s traditional religious values.

“Saudi women are beautiful with their dignity, manners, and upbringing. They don’t need pageants to validate their beauty,” one social media user argued.

This isn’t the first time a Middle Eastern woman has been attacked due to her participation in a beauty pageant. Last week, relatives of Miss Iraq were forced to flee their country after death threats were made against them for their daughter’s participation in the Miss Universe pageant. Among the main complaints were that Sarah Idan, Miss Iraq, had posted a photograph of herself with Miss Israel and had appeared in a swimsuit.

Youssef would have been the second Saudi woman to participate in the Miss Arab World pageant. Moda Nour, another Saudi woman, competed at the same beauty contest and won in 2009. The 2009 competition was held in Cairo, and Nour was later attacked, not for participating in the pageant, but for being what some critics considered “too overweight” to be a beauty queen.

The Miss Arab World pageant tries to be inclusive of women from all cultures and religions, and allows veiled and non-veiled women to compete together. The beauty queens compete in national dress and are not expected to wear swimsuits like women competing in international pageants.

The oxymoron of all oxymorons .. Point of fact, the World Championship of Oxymorons: Arab Beauty Contest. Hell, I know some Hampshire and Poland China (that’s a breed, not a people) sows that would have won that handily.

Not too much to say re the obvious idiocy (in the 21st century) of the backward camel-driver country of Saudi Arabia. Wonder if the new leader, the so-called “forward-looking” prince who is allowing Saudis to see movies now (WOW!!), will intervene. I guess his “modernity” only goes just so far. I truly feel sorry for women living in such a wretched prison!

Sorry, but it’s your religion. You have the unfortunate circumstances of being born into it. We have the unfortunate circumstances of letting them in.

She may smell like one, though, unless she washes her left hand in hot water and soap, say 3-4 times.

Personally i find the whole beauty contest business objectionable but in the West women are free to compete if they wish to, It comes as no surprise that Mudskims object to them but I expect the men like to watch!

I feel sorry for women who have such low self esteem that only heavy ‘make-up’ will help their own self image. Ladies, God knitted you together in the womb. He fashioned your very appearance. Don`t scorn, or try to improve upon God`s perfect handiwork. You are beautiful as you are. Work on the inside.

With Saudi Arabia involved in wars with Iran, Qatar, Lebanon and Yemen, you would think there more important things for Saudi Arabia to worry about.

I thought there wasn’t supposed to be ‘beauty’ in the muslim world…just women who are vessels for muslim males to use and abuse. A muslim beauty queen is an oxymoron..

Interesting – lipstick on a muslim. She violated her face and someone may try to remove her head for the insult.

Pathetic is what I call muslims. That, and dangerous.
