Denmark Searches for Miss Headscarf Undaunted by Embassy Bomb
By Tasneem Brogger
June 4 (Bloomberg) — Hibo Abdull wants to be Denmark’s first Miss Headscarf.
The 24-year-old aspiring actress is competing to scoop up the title in a pageant for headscarf-wearing women sponsored by state broadcaster Danmarks Radio. While some Danes regard the hijab as a symbol of what they see as the inferior status of women in Islam, Abdull says her scarf should be celebrated.
“I just feel like showing people a different side of what it is to be a Muslim,” says Abdull, who lives in Odense, west of Copenhagen, Denmark’s capital. “It actually makes me feel more feminine not to show too much of myself.”
The contest comes as Denmark grapples with the fallout from the 2005 publication in a local newspaper of cartoons that linked the Prophet Muhammad to terrorism and sparked riots across the Middle East. This week, a bomb attack outside Denmark’s embassy in Pakistan killed at least six people. Danmarks Radio said it wants to “spark debate” and won’t cancel Miss Headscarf.
