Shanna Bukhari, a 24 year old living in Manchester has recently come under fire for making it to the final selection round for a chance to represent the United Kingdom in the Miss Universe competition. Religious reasons account for most of the opposition she has been facing. Is she disgracing Islam or proving that Muslim women can do whatever they want? Is it a fight of modernity and women’s rights? Many women find beauty pageants to be degrading, based on objectifying women, or promoting an unrealistic self image. Which complaint has more grounds (Islam or feminism) in regards to this situation?
