Miss Afghanistan
There are two visions of the world contesting one another for supremacy. One vision holds that a woman who is gang-raped is "partly to be blamed" if she is not wearing hijab and therefore seduced her rapists "by her revealing form and shape." The other holds that a woman can wear just what she pleases. Take Miss Afghanistan, for example.
Miss Afghanistan Vida Samadzai walks during the presentation of the 60 candidates for Miss Earth 2003 International Beauty Pageant in Manila on October 23, 2003. The 25-year-old Kabul born beauty left Afghanistan in 1996 to live in California. Samadzai who is taking up international business at University Cal State Fullerton plans to visit Kabul soon.
I am confident our vision is going to win. The forces of joyous beauty will triumph of the forces of vicious puritanism (the latter link via the dissident frogman).
And then... The InstaMan is on this too.
AMERICA 100, TALIBAN 0: This says it all!
