Ahlam El Brinis has been criticised for wearing revealing clothes
Born and raised in the northern city of Padua a model of Moroccan origin hopes to become the first Muslim Miss Italy.
Ahlam El Brinis, 20, has been selected for the semi-final of the Miss Italy beauty contest, which will take place in the coastal town of Jesolo (Venice) on September 20.
But she faces some tough opposition for her decision.
According to huffingtonpost.it Ahlam has received threats and insults on social media for taking part in the beauty pageant.
She has been criticised for posing in revealing clothes and did not appreciate her exposure without veil.
But the semifinalist is defiant and determined to win the competition despite criticism.

Talking to Huffington Post the model said, "Everyone is free to choose and live their religion in their own way. I am aware that there are people still conservative who might think it's wrong what I do. But honestly I do not care, because I have the support of my family and that's enough".
She regards herself as a non-practicing Muslim, but says she respects Islam but does not want to be defined by it.
She has stated that she feels entirely Italian, having been born and raised in the country.
Ahlam was selected to be 'Miss Elegance' for the northeast region of Friuli Venezia Giulia in the Miss Italy semifinal contest.
This has also sparked an intense debate in Italy about immigration, identity and racial intolerance, with some critics furious that a 'black' contestant should win the competition.
Many of the insults posted on her social media pages criticise her for looking too Muslim or not Italian enough. Other users on social media have been supportive of Ahlam's bid to be the next Miss Italy.
Hmmm... Need more Pics to be sure...
Muslims killed a lot of Italians over the centuries.
And the ragheads would cover this with a tent?
“Many of the insults posted on her social media pages criticise her for looking too Muslim or not Italian enough.”
Yeah, sure.
France has more Muslims than practicing Catholics. Europe is gone. Charles Martel threw the Saracens back 13 centuries ago, but that was just a temporary setback for them.
Nope, not gonna’ make it.
There are some more at the link.
Not bad at all, but I suspect Italy can do better, and often has.
So she respects Islam. That makes her ugly to the bone.
That’s going to be a BIG problem for her
<pSeveral years ago Nigeria, a mostly Muslim country staged the Miss Nigeria pageant and would have the winner compete as part of the Miss Universe contest Needless to say, havoc and upheaval was all that they got Muslims came to the pageant and made sure there would be no Miss Nigeria and this was years ago before fanatics started crawling out of the woodwork
How would anyone know what most Muslim women look like?
Quiz time, folks.
Consider that the picture shows her wearing revealing clothing in a public place. According to the muslims she should be:
1) raped for dressing like a prostitute
2) stoned to death for adultery after being raped (see # 1)
3) both of the above
You have ten seconds to answer.
BZZZZZZZZZZ All of the above?
I look at it as the article’s author bending over backwards not to state she’s being harassed by Italian Muslims. Which is far more likely.
Went to the link. She’s very lovely!
Ok, so would Las hit it? That’s the true test!
I like the one second from the right. Hubba Hubba!
Ok, ready? ...SMILE!
