Thousands of muslims (who CNN described as "radical") took to the streets to protest the Miss World Pageant:

Indonesian Muslims protest against Miss World contest | euronews, world news


Miss World vs. Modesty: Indonesian Islamists protest over hosting of Miss World pageant in Bali - YouTube

I should mention that CNN didn't really cover this story but mentioned it in passing. If you notice that the two links are international news sites because the US MSM doesn't want to highlight what islam is really about. With signs reading "Miss World Go to Hell", the muslims said that women showing skin offended their laws. That's right, just keep importing members of this "religion" America...

Don't blame them. To them its pornography and I really don't understand who decided it was such a brilliant idea to have it in a conservative Muslim country...just trying to stir up problems I suppose.

All US beaches should be topless.
If it's okay for men, why not women? Double standard.

Some people don't like that? Stay in the Mid East then. Stay away from the US.

Bali is predominately Muslim. Beauty pageants are offensive to Muslims. Shouldn't they have the right to protest them taking place there?

Most Muslims in the USA are not recent imports but have roots here dating back to before the civil war and some go back to even before the revolutionary war.

Harrier supports the Muslim protestors freedom of speech, and really doesn't care what they think about the Miss World pageant - Harrier doesn't know anyone who does.

Let the pageant do its thing and let the protestors do there's.

I really don't see how people protesting half way around the world would illicit your response.

To wish away a major religion practiced by millions of people around the world because of a thousand knuckleheads protesting some knuckleheaded pageant...brought to your attention by some other knuckleheads seems odd.
