KAZAN, Tatarstan -- The winner of the Miss Muslim 2008 beauty contest held in the Russian republic of Tatarstan last week says that such contests do not contradict the teachings of Islam.
Gulina Shahivaliyeva told RFE/RL's Tatar-Bashkir Service that Muslims should use modern trends such as beauty contests as a way to attract more people to the Islamic faith.
Tatarstan's Mufti Office and the Union of Muslim Women of Tatarstan organized the contest.
Nine finalists displayed their knowledge of Tatar culture, history, and traditions, while also showing Tatar folk clothes in lieu of a swimsuit competition.
Shahivalieva is studying to be a teacher at the Tatar Teacher Training University.

Too bad Russian czarina Catherine II (german born) allowed mosques to be built there.

WOW! Look at those fingernails. No phony acrylic ones for her.
All one need do is look at her beautiful eyes and hands to know that she's a "real beauty."

With the burqa it is difficult to tell Miss 2008 from Miss 808...

Miss Muslim 2008 looks like a average woman in Turkey or Iran. Nothing bad, nothing special. She should drop the Hijab and get a brain.
This is Miss England 2006. Hammasa Kohistani. Uzbek. Nice... No veil, western, sweet. Reminds me of my better half as she looked 30 years ago. ;o)

Now that you mention it, yes it DOES resemble Klan robes. Its that whole eye-slit thing that gets me. Its spooky, unsettling.
