How confidently the Pakistani government jumps on the wagon of ban this girl because she is not representing our culture. When there are honor killings, sectarian violence and corruption rampant all over the country and have become part of our culture and lifestyle. We after all got all of our priorities twisted.

couldn't agree more

So how have the Pakistani government got their priorities twisted when the GoP has banned honor killings specifically by law, and all the other things are illegal - there is still no dress code in Pakistan. The priorities look correct to me.

Therefore, this is not the Pakistani government - they have passed laws outlaing honour killings. *This is the fault of the Pakistani people *

Re: About Miss Bikini

roadrunner, sorry for misspellings. i didn't rape any woman.

perhaps, you didn't understand my words. rape and sex scandal comment was not directed against anyone in Pakistan. anyways, i'd appreciate if you could make your views a bit more transparent. all i could gather from your posts here is that you support the official position. well i also kind of do that, but i really don't want to give the woman the publicity by overreacting to whatever she was doing in her personal capacity. she didn't represent pakistan, but i wouldn't condemn her for wearing bikini. besides, i don't like the idea of politically motivated foreign media presenting her as some kind of 'model' for pakistani women. i hope i make myself clear now.

Sure, I dont see why it's talked about. However, the person making a statement, if true, does not mean the GoP have their priorities mixed up. They have outlawed the stuff mentioned - I dont see that they have outlawed the woman using Pakistan's name - though it would be nice if they did unless the people have a certain look quality about them. She can wear bikinis all she wants though, just as in Pakistan women can wear Hijabs or not.

@shweetdreamz

i dont get it. u can have mujras in pakistan and punjabi actresses shaking what their momma gave 'em in punjabi movies and mujras, part-time whores like reema, meera, resham, jana malik singing milli nagmas on independence day. reema acting like she is the epitome of sharafat on TV. but oh no a pakistani girl happens to wear a bikini and enter an international contest and oh mah lord! how dare she say she is a pakistani! is it just because what happens in pakistan stays in pakistan and the girl is representing pakistan internationally and it spoils the image of an islamic republic? isnt it funny how the beauty pageant contestant suffers the same put-down like the woman that was gang-raped (M Mai). both were in fact "bad-naming" pakistan. it seems like it has less to do with morals and more to do with a stupid phony image desis like to paint of Pakistan by closing their eyes to the stuff that goes on in there.

I agree it is pure form of hypocrisy.

Re: About Miss Bikini

@mercenary2k

Pakistanis love to make issues of non-issues to show how islamic they are and how they are defending Islam and this is a perfect case in point

That's a load of crap.

Pakistanis have every right to criticize her, who was in fact participating on behalf of all Pakistanis without their consent. That's a big no-no.

In any case, the net result is a potential complaint to china. Big whoop. That's hardly hypocritical, and certainly not the harsh response people here are making it out to be..

As a representative of Pakistan, she can't wear a bikini. End of story.

When there are honor killings, sectarian violence and corruption rampant all over the country and have become part of our culture and lifestyle. We after all got all of our priorities twisted.

This line of reasoning is, quite frankly, obtuse. For example, corruption is not as big a problem as sectarian killings...one would hardy condemn those who want to root out corruption simply because there are larger issues (like sectarianism) at hand. Where does this logic end? Forget gang rape of a single lady, there's a war going on in the north that's affecting entire tribes...oh, and let's not forget the earthquake victims...and so on. Spare us.

It took little effort or resources for Pakistan to clarify it's position on this matter...let's stop twisting this as if Pakistan has in fact waged war on China or something.

Doing a small right in the face of big wrongs is still a small right.

She can wear what she wants...but she has to face the consequences of her choices. Boo hoo...

If the Pakistani government can't say so, then who can? Are you pretending like a bikini is socially acceptable among all and sundry in Pakistan?

Re: About Miss Bikini

picoico, the point is they have got their priorities all wrong. I mean in a conservative society like Pakistan, yes any woman who wears a bikini is condemed but where is the same mass when corruption, violence and honor killings are in place? When the real issues are in hand, they are all gone. This is just beating the wrong drum. I mean if she wears a bikini, what happened to Pakistani values. Are they all gone now?

Give it a rest, she is not like someone who was wearing a burqa and praying five times yesterday and now going to a beauty peagent. She just feels like doing it nothing more....you wanna judge everything Pakistanis say from now from their speeches to what they wear on TV and street because it might not represent our culture?
