Photos: Tunisian wins Muslim answer to Miss World: Calls for free Palestine

A Tunisian woman calls for a free Palestine as she wins a pageant exclusively for Muslims, in Indonesia.

With a doctor and a computer scientist among their number, the final contenders in the World Muslimah Award paraded in glittering dresses against the backdrop of world-renowned ancient temples for the contest in the world's most populous Muslim-majority country.

But they were being judged not only their appearance but also on how well they could recite verses from the Koran and their views on Islam in the modern world.

"We want to see that they understand everything about the Islamic way of life – from what they eat, what they wear, how they live their lives," said Jameyah Sheriff, one of the organisers.
The eventual winner was a 25-year-old computer scientist from Tunisia, Fatma Ben Guefrache, whose prize included a gold watch, a gold dinar and a mini pilgrimage to Mecca.
