The Miss World 2013 which will be held
in the largest Muslim country - Indonesia got a strong reaction from
Muslims in Indonesia and Malaysia, with a significant wave of rejection.
This was realized by Budi Rustanto, Director of MNC Group who stated
that is not easy to hold Miss World in Indonesia (Okezone.com
21/08/2013). However, the MNC group as the holder of exclusive broadcast
rights of the Miss World competition has closed its eyes and ears, and
continues to disseminate the socialization to the media for the success
of Miss World 2013, which will take place on 4 - 28 September in
Indonesia and will involve 170 countries, including Muslim countries. At
least 45 institutions and Islamic organizations in Indonesia stated
firmly that they rejected the Miss World event, including Indonesia
Islamic Scholar Council (MUI). Similarly, in Malaysia, the National
Fatwa Council of Malaysia (JAWI) had forbidden 4 Muslim women to take
part as contestants of the Miss Malaysia World pageant in August where
the winner would be the official emissary for Malaysia in Miss Word
2013.
Capitalist media like MNC group as well
as the Muslim rulers in Indonesia and Malaysia are not only blind and
deaf to the sound waves of rejection of Muslims to this competition but
also blind and deaf to the impact of this kind of pageant which
capitalizes women's bodies. They are dazzled with the Western culture
and want to import it into the Islamic world, and earn tons of money
from the exploitation of women's beauty and body, which has blinded them
of its impact on the community. It is this systematic dehumanization
and degradation of women by the advertising, entertainment, beauty,
fashion, and pornography industries within Western capitalist states
such as the UK, US, and Australia that has proven to be a recipe for
disrespect, exploitation and abuse of women, contributing to the
epidemic levels of violence, sexual harassment, and rape within Western
societies.
These hypocritical Western imitator
Capitalist rulers in the Muslim world are clearly separated from their
own people - in thinking and feeling and do not represent them in the
least. They adore democracy but at the same time ignore the voice of the
majority of people. They boast about the progress of the nation but at
the same time let foreign culture ruin their future generations. And by
agreeing to host this degrading pageant on its territory, or approving
to send delegation contestants, the Muslim world regimes have
demonstrated that they are willing to accept the same impact as the
damage in Western societies that undermined their youth and family
units.
O Muslims! We call you to fiercely
oppose the staging of this pageant in Indonesia and the importing of all
liberal culture into our lands, including the objectification of women
and lewd entertainment culture that spreads immorality and are a source
of corruption for our youth and societies. We urge you to distance
yourselves from the West imitator secular-capitalist rulers who are a
tumor in this Ummah because they are exactly as Allah described in His
Word:
صُمٌّ بُكْمٌ عُمْيٌ فَهُمْ لَا يَرْجِعُونَ
"Deaf, dumb, blind. They will not return."
(Al-Baqara, 2:18)
O Muslim women who love this Deen!
Join the noble struggle to re-establish the Khilafah which will replace
man-made systems in Muslim countries. It is the only state that will
nurture the pure, noble morals and values of Islam, prevent the influx
of corrupt culture, and hence create youth of distinguished, exemplary
personalities who embody modesty and chastity. It will also oblige men
and society to safeguard the women's dignity, status and wellbeing and
promote that women be valued upon their piety, character and conduct
rather than their beauty.
