Muslim Babes of the Day

Okay, so this photo goes back to when Nicolas Sarkozy was elected president of France -- but I like these girls' attitude :)

Presenting ... Miss Indonesia! (of 2006)

Alas:

"A militant Islamic group has filed a police report against Indonesia's Miss Universe candidate, accusing her of indecency.

"Nadine Chandrawinata's participation in the contest and display of her body in a swimsuit 'is actually insulting for Indonesian dignity and women', Islamic Defenders Front lawyer Sugito said[.]"

Really?

Let's just check our premises, here.

1) All women are beautiful -- some more than others. That's why guys want them, correct?

2) Women are beautiful for more than how they look -- they're also and especially BEAUTIFUL (write this down) for WHAT THEY CONTRIBUTE to human progression. Yes? (Children? Sympathy? Understanding? Willingness to be a partner, if you're willing too? You get the idea.)

3) Everyone, man or woman, likes to look at a beautiful person because we have a love of beauty of ALL things -- human beings included -- in our souls. Yes?

4) Given that it's natural we love beauty -- indeed, given that God has given us beauty to enjoy --

WHAT'S THE PROBLEM?!?

Hezbollah-ed over

Okay, so let me get this straight. Our Muslim Babe Of The Day is demonstrating (back in 2006) for Hezbollah. Now, having done a little homework, I discover Hezbollah is a Shi'a-based organization.

Isn't this the branch of Islam that goes for the traditional look, female-wise? So how come my girl is in a T-shirt?

Pay no attention to that babe behind the burqa

My shameless dig at many Muslims' medieval mindset regarding women in the previous post probably left you guys kind of cold -- so, as penance, I hereby furnish you with a PROPER Muslim babe. I'm sure she's a wonderful woman, as you medieval-minded WOULD PROBABLY FIND OUT if you didn't force her into a body bag!

In all seriousness: Let's appreciate the human form. It excites feelings in us for a reason -- that is, it urges us to explore further, into the person (or gender-nation-specific, in my case) that inhabits the body.

THAT IS WHAT BEING HUMAN IS ALL ABOUT. (Please write this on a sticky note, and attach it to your forehead.)
