A prize winning bikini contest model who claimed she was the Pakistani representative has sparked outrage in the predominantly Muslim country.
Stunning Mariyah Moten, 22, won the 'Best in Media' title - for being the most photographed and interviewed contestant - at the pageant in the Chinese resort of Beihai.
But furious Pakistani authorities say she did not have permission to represent the country, where many women only go out in public covered in a veil.
They are now threatening the model, who grew up in Pakistan but holds a US passport after she moved there eight years ago, with restrictions on entering her homeland.
"We have asked our missions in Washington and Beijing to investigate this because it is against our policy, culture and religion," senior Culture Ministry official Abdul Hafeez Chaudhry said.
"She is an American passport holder. She is an American national of Pakistani origin, so how did she get entry as a Pakistani?"
Moten, a student of hotel management at the University of Houston, was born and brought up in the Pakistani city of Karachi.
Mr Chaudhry said Pakistan - which does not hold beauty contests - might take the issue up with China, depending on the result of the investigation.
He also said the government might withdraw from Moten special privileges offered to people of Pakistani descent such as visa-free travel to Pakistan.
Hapiness on this earth is forbidden. No joy. No sex. No music. No dancing. No laughter. No forgiveness.
Only a lifetime of sore knees worshipping a false prophet and a false god. Then you die & find out it was all for nothing.
No wonder these knuckle-dragging troglodytes are pissed off at the world.
Wuf Wuf!
looks like she is packing a pair of 38s
just a tiny point of clarification: they get on their knees, point their arses to the East, and worship a false god, while getting some bad nose hits of gas and smelly dirty feet.
ROFLOLOLOL
But .... Can she cook?
Fatwah on her head!!
Such a tragedy isn't it? Being banned from one of the nastiest places on earth? It's kinda like being kicked out of hell.
I've often wondered about this as well. I think that it's because their egos are so fragile that the thought of a woman leaving them is intolerable. The whole burqa thing is just so they never ever have to compete with other men for a woman. While I take it as a point of pride to be seen in public with my attractive wife, the Arab/Muslim mentality sees only the threat of their women finding someone better than they are. The thought of a non-Muslim taking one of their women must send them right off the deep end. SICK!
"But .... Can she cook?"
Who cares?
When I first glances at the title I understood "furry" not "fury" and was reminded of an episode of that show based in a Las Vegas casino (Monticello).
They had an angry guest, whose wife was charged double for a bikini wax.
Off with her head. /s
These people have their turbans on waaaaaaaaaaaay too tight.
