Afghan Supreme Court bans beauty pageants
Kabul - Afghanistan's Supreme Court has condemned beauty contests as un-Islamic after an American-based Afghan woman paraded in a bikini as Miss Afghanistan in an international beauty pageant in Manila, state media reported on Thursday.

"The Supreme Court in its Wednesday session announced that appearing naked in beauty contests is totally un-Islamic, is against Afghan tradition, human honour and dignity," state news agency Bhakter reported.

"Based on the holy religion of Islam any one who attends such contests no matter what religion or country they belong to is condemned to hell," the report added.

We can see the Bush Policy is on the right track in Afghanistan.
Just say No to sex.
Just say Yes to drugs.

5. The Mujahideen who fought to drive the Taliban out...
...never disguised their desire for an Islamic government. Do you mean we did something wrong... again?
