A Somali-American woman will be the first to compete in the Miss Minnesota USA contest while wearing a hijab and other modest Muslim clothing that keeps her fully covered. Nineteen-year-old Halima Aden of St. Cloud will be part of the competition Saturday and Sunday in Burnsville. In addition to her hijab, she'll wear a full-body outfit called a burkini during the swimsuit competition, and she'll modify evening gowns to be more modest.

It's Minnesota.

She'll win, or we'll have riots.

Riots? Okiedokie. Anything that turns Americans against Islam is fine with me at this point.

Voting on unseen goods.

You have to marry it to see what’s in it.

The “bathing suit” portion should be interesting.

I didn't think there were still those moronic contests.
I GUESS someone still actually cares.

What SHOULD be done is having a "morph" done of what those beauties WILL look like twenty-thirty years from today. LOL!
Now THAT'S entertainment.

She’s actually not bad looking. But beauty contests are for ladies who are prepared to get almost naked for the judges. If you don’t want to do that why enter a beauty contest?

Mogadishu on the Mississippi. It’s not a coincidence at all Minnesota’s neighbors voted TRUMP on election night. IA, WI, SD, ND, MI. All Trump.

I guarantee she will place in the top five contestants....

Anything else would be anti-Muslim discrimination...

PLEASE don't lump all 38.8 MILLION folks in California into the same SAD SACK...especially since MANY current Californians are "refugees" from those Minnesota winters.

Thangkew.

Seems like a lot of work just to avoid shaving. ;-)
