Here she comes, Miss Sharia...

Oh, for God's Allah's sake...
A militant Islamic group has filed a police report against Indonesia's Miss Universe candidate accusing her of indecency, a lawyer for the organization said on Tuesday.

Nadine Chandrawinata's participation in the contest and display of her body in a swimsuit there "is actually insulting for Indonesian dignity and women", Islamic Defenders Front (FPI) attorney Sugito told Reuters.

[...]

Sugito said FPI had also filed complaints against four people involved in sponsoring and organizing Chandrawinata's participation.
Now, she didn't win, so I guess her chances would've been better had she worn a burka throughout the whole competition, right? Oh, silly me! She shouldn't have been there at all. She shouldn't even venture out of the house without a male relative to chaperone her around. And those sponsors, letting the filthy infidels look at her! What were they thinking? I smell a Zionist plot!

Oh, and I looooove this next bit:
The offences involved carry potential sentences ranging from two to six years in jail, Sugito said, adding that the posing requirements of the competition offended the standards not just of Islam but other religions.
Yeah, right. Like this "militant Islamic group" gives two runny shits about the "standards" (or anything else) of other religions. I thought the whole point of militant Islam was to, you know, disregard other religions. At least.
