Why accept Miss Palestine and Not a Miss Kurdistan?

Did anyone tell this Kurdish weightlifter to cover himself because a Kurdish woman might see his photo?

hahha no

Ofcrouse not he is a man plus I read everywhere how people was proud of him and blablabla

His photo was in the Kurdish media - do Kurdish men vet the media reports before allowing women to read them?

Perhaps we should say that this man of obvious strength should be spending his time fighting to provide a better life for Kurdistan - but I personally believe that all publicity is good publicity - anything that publicises Kurds is good

They showed him on tv and everyone saw it.
Seeing a mans body is not tabuu but a women showing her body omg they will kick her to death. I thought we kurds were not that extreme but now when I have been arguing with some about this.I see we have no difference with those who get called conservative Islamist.
Sometimes I think showing up myself in a competition like that with bikini and see what it will lead me since I am born to break rules.
There should be always one person who start it all,right?

You could be similar to Rosa Parks - and be an activist for Kurdish women rights

Rosa Parks "the first lady of civil rights" and "the mother of the freedom movement" - you could be the First Lady of Kurdish Women's Rights - as Rosa Parks was the first lady of black civil rights in America

Hewlêr/Erbil has been selected as the 2014 Capital of Arab Tourism - what will happen if people who are not ultra conservative Muslims decide to holiday there - will the women be stoned to death for revealing parts of their body whilst on holiday - perhaps woman stoning could be added to the list of tourist attractions
