Islam versus Europe

Muslims in the Catalan city of Salt (see this video about Salt if you haven't already seen it) plan to hold a Miss Islam Catalonia event there next year. In contrast to western beauty contests, it is intended to showcase supposed female virtues other than physical attractiveness. These are: religious sentiments, attachment to tradition, love of family and chasteness.

Contestants are expected to display: chasteness, the ability to speak well about themselves and their locality, good cooking skills, talents in poetry recital and, above all, knowledge of the Koran.

Participants must be "educated and cultivated" Muslim women between the ages of 18 and 25. Prizes will be awarded in four categories:

Most Learned Muslim Woman
Most Talented Muslim Woman
Most Chaste Muslim Woman
Muslim Woman of the Year

At a time when the Spanish government is teetering on the edge of bankruptcy, the Muslims claim they have the support of the local Catalan governments for this folly.
