An ismaili girl is going to be in the Miss Canada competition to represent Canada at miss universe contest.Her name is Shafeena Premji.
I think she is the first ismaili girl to participate in such competition as usually muslim girls do not participate in such competitions.

I wrote Usually muslims girls do not participate in such contest. I not wrote that muslims girls not at all participate in this type of contest. I have not wrote that I am against beauty contest nor I wrote that is really good to participate in beauty contest. What I meant to wrote that usually muslim girls do not participate is a matter of fact, because of the fear of extremist and fundamentalist muslims who consider girls to participate in beauty contest as sin muslim girls usually avoid doing that...By the way what are your views on it.

Yam star Munir,<BR>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; I think Imam has never ever told us not to participate in these activities but Imam has told us to be in your cultural values & this simply means to be in limit and i think that these kind of competitions will create a good impact o&shy;n the western world who thinks that Muslim girls are not allowed to do any thing!and they are either in Burkas or sitting at their homes ...And not o&shy;nly Canada but I have also heard about Miss Pakistan !

Uzbekistan-born teenager becomes first Muslim Miss England
LONDON (AFP) - An Uzbekistan-born teenager became the first ever Muslim girl to be crowned Miss England and will compete in the Miss World pageant in China in December.
"When they announced that I had won I thought I had misheard... it took a second to sink in," said Kohistani, dressed in an ivory white chiffon and silk ball gown designed and made by her mother.
Sarah Mendly, a 23-year-old Iraqi Muslim, had been the four-to-one favorite to win the contest, being held in Liverpool, northern England.
Asked about being the first Muslim Miss England, Kohistani said: "I'm making history and I'm very happy. Hopefully I won't be the last."
