Group protest against Miss World in Jakarta,say event must not hold

The 2013 Miss World pageant is scheduled to hold at
the Sentul International Convention Center in Jakarta,
Indonesia on Saturday September 28th..but it won't
hold if the Muslim women in the country have their
way.
For days now, members of an Islamic group called
Hizbut Tahrir have been protesting against the pageant
in Jakarta. Yesterday, they converge outside the office
of the local organizer of the beauty contest, MNC
media group, warning them not to stage the pageant in
the city.
Other cities are also holding protests, demanding that
the permit to hold Miss World pageant in their country
be revoked, saying that the pageant runs against their
culture.
MNC Group and Miss World Organization say it's too
late to find a new location but promised that
contestants would not be allowed to wear bikini at the
event.
Same thing happened in Nigeria in 2002.
