Miss Turkey is actually from the Netherlands. So they could have the next pageant there. The Netherlands is rapidly becoming a Muslim nation, so that might not be such a good idea. americanenterprise.org

Once again, you are saying some very strange things: Not that she is dazzling, but now the Turks Islamists are f....d. How can they get the tchador nailed back on their girls' heads ? A Turkish girl elected Miss World is has zero influence on this matter, because: 1) Turkey has been holding Miss Turkey competitions for ages - i.e. girls in bikinis walking around on a stage etc. Islamists or no Islamists. Miss Turkey elected Miss World or not. I don't understand how you think this latest election changes anything. 2) Hard-core Islamists (not the current "Muslim Democrat" variety) came to power once before. They could not change anything. Women still wore mini-skirts. They would swim in the sea and sunbathe in their bikinis, right next to men. Oh, and Miss Turkey was elected that year as well. 3) Turkey has practically outlawed the chador about 80 years ago. There is no way it is getting "nailed back on their girls' heads".
