Saudi Arabia Holding "Miss Beautiful Islamic Morals" Pageant.....
Weasel Zippers ^

Sukaina al-Zayer is an unlikely beauty queen hopeful. She covers her face and body in black robes and an Islamic veil, so no one can tell what she looks like. She also admits she's a little on the plump side.
But at Saudi Arabia's only beauty pageant, the judges don't care about a perfect figure or face. What they're looking for in the quest for "Miss Beautiful Morals" is the contestant who shows the most devotion and respect for her parents.
"The idea of the pageant is to measure the contestants' commitment to Islamic morals...It's an alternative to the calls for decadence in the other beauty contests that only take into account a woman's body and looks," said pageant founder Khadra al-Mubarak.
"The winner won't necessarily be pretty," she added. "We care about the beauty of the soul and the morals."

Somehow I doubt Perez Hilton will be a judge of this.

“Losers will be stoned to death.”
That sounds about right.

Saudi Arabia also has a most beautiful goat competition. I wish I were joking.
To: JDAM2007
Ms Congeniality, Evening Gown and Swimsuit competition was all done at one time to save the contestants embarrassment.
The winners were stoned to death afterwards for being without a male family escort at all times.
There are no plans to hold another pageant next year as there have been no volunteers to compete.

That's actually a spooky picture.

This looks like the congregation of the damned.
I could not imaging a more accurate depiction of the 1st layer of Hell.

My hobbies? Why, yes, I collect stones. I keep them at my father’s house so he won’t worry himself over obtaining any if I one day fail to live up to his morals.

The number one question asked by the judges of these contestants is: “Do you kill your women relatives, including daughters, if they “dishonor” the family by breaking Sharia law?”. The ones who answer yes move up in position.
