The Knuckleheads of the Day award Part Two

No one that beautiful could be a Knucklehead.

Our second winner today is the Indonesian Islamic Defenders Front and its lawyer Sugito. They get the award for the following.

A MILITANT Islamic group has filed a police report against Indonesia’s Miss Universe candidate, accusing her of indecency.

Nadine Chandrawinata’s participation in the contest and display of her body in a swimsuit “is actually insulting for Indonesian dignity and women”, Islamic Defenders Front lawyer Sugito said yesterday.

Ms Chandrawinata did not make it to the competition’s final in Los Angeles on Sunday, which was won by Miss Puerto Rico, but she had drawn heavy media coverage in Indonesia.

Mr Sugito said the Islamic Defenders Front had also filed complaints against four people involved in sponsoring and organising Ms Chandrawinata’s participation.

Under Indonesian law, police would have to investigate whether there was sufficient evidence for a case under the complaint, and if so, turn their findings over to prosecutors for a decision on whether it merited going to court.

The offences carried potential sentences ranging from two to six years in jail, Mr Sugito said. The posing requirements of the competition offended the standards not just of Islam but of other religions, he said.

Just another example of religious extremism and intolerance. Mr. Sugito should be proud of Ms. Chandrawinata and not trying to have her jailed. Ms. Indonesia didn't win Ms. Universe but she's a winner in my book. As to The Islamic Defenders front and Mr. Sugito they are today's second knucklehead winners of the day.
