England - Two Muslims Vie For Miss England

Strangely, there was controversy over the Muslim candidate from Iraq but not over the one from Uzbekistan, who won the event.

Among those Miss Kohistani beat was another Muslim entrant, Sarah Mendly, 23, who was voted Miss Nottingham.

Miss Mendly had been among the favourites but her entry caused controversy when Liverpool's Islamic institute called on her to pull out because contestants are often scantily clad.

But no controversy over Miss Kohistani.

Wonder why?
