Indonesian clerics outraged at new Miss Indonesia

Muslim clerics from the Indonesian province of Aceh are outraged that an unveiled Aceh woman, Qory Sanioriva, has won Miss Indonesia 2009. Instead of being proud of Sandioriva the muslim clerics stated that she has brought "shame" to the province of Aceh.

I wonder if the clerics have put a target on Miss Indonesia's back. Afterall, some muslim nut from Aceh will want to cleanse the honor of the province. BBC

Clerics in Indonesia's conservative Muslim province of Aceh say they are outraged that an Acehnese woman has won the title of Miss Indonesia.

Qori Sandioriva, 18, won the Miss Indonesia title on Friday, beating 37 other contestants for the crown.

The clerics say that by failing to wear a veil during the competition she has betrayed her Acehnese roots and brought shame to the province.
