My lady, with due permission,

Representation is the act of representing or the state of being represented.
It is termed as something that represents, as:

a. An image or likeness of something.
b. A presentation or production, as of a play.

Whereas symbol is defined as something that represents something else, by association, resemblance, or convention, especially a material object used to represent something invisible.

Mem, Pakistan globally is represented and called as Islamic republic of Pakistan .its name is not being floated as country of Christians, Catholics, Hindus and Sikhs. The core representation is on the ideology of Islam in which the practices are to look after all such minorities that exist, with full rights to practice as per their religion and belief.

An object or a representation that functions as a symbol or sign or emblem or representation is based and expressed on same philosophy and image of Islam and as per regulated criteria, being delivered to us in Shari at and Sunnah according to and as per methodology of Islam.

Expression of body parts of female in the contest of exhibitionism and vulgarity can not be owned at the platform of Islam and Pakistan.

There are more ways to represent the country rather to exercise the sizes of your body parts and shape, contour and sexy make and look, as per the required criteria of judges, not curtailing the selection at this point but also to check the virginity as well. If she thinks that Pakistan should have a position on the atlas through this way of perversion, then in my opinion there are few more ways by which one can represent his or her nation by sacrificing, morally, if it is acceptable. Under no condition, her act can be owned

My regards

I too must agree with Mr. Alam. All the points you have stated in this discussion really have no relevance to the matter. Or perhaps you shall revise as I am unable to comprehend. Point being, I feel that Mahleej was representing the country of Pakistan symbolically, not as an Islamic nation. She is proud of her COUNTRY. Although majority of the population may be Islamic, we have Christians, Catholics, Hindus and Sikhs residing as well. Miss Pakistan World is emblematic of the organization’s mission to take part in representing our country worldwide; along with providing knowledge to those who may not be aware of Pakistan and where we belong in the Atlas.

Everyone is either just jealous or just in a criticizing mode that they were not in her position, or envious that she was representing Pakistan in a Canadian nation. These illiterates are not observing the ones around them. I must agree with Amara here. Yes, in Pakistan we showcase runway/print models such as Vaneeza Ahmed or Iman Ali. If you don’t believe me, go ahead, Google it. Our citizens of Pakistan are embarrassing us as they are not educating themselves prior to going public. I understand everyone shall be open to their own opinion(s). Yet, they sound like hypocrites.

Nevertheless, in a recent interview Nadia Khan conducted of Mahleej and was featured on Geo, the head of the Organization stated something to the effect that the contestants wear such revealing clothing to take part in international pageants AND to prove to those who think Pakistan is a ‘terrorist’ nation with no woman rights. I must disagree with this statement. I don’t feel we need to wear such clothing to “prove” to the rest of the world that we are not a terrorist nation. People who feel and think this way of Pakistan are just nonsensical. They need to stop trusting the media and educate themselves. Just to prove to them, I don’t feel I need to take off my clothing or wear revealing clothing. However, I’d wear such clothing for myself, not for others. I would not stoop down that low to make a statement or represent my country.

Hope all this makes sense and people will at least consider my view.

Thank You for Your Time,

S. Khan

My point was simple - Senator Clinton is much more than what her haters and political rivals are motivated to and trying to portray. Which is hardly my business. I did not think that dragging her into the subject here was either kind, appropriate, or relevant. I thought you got a bit carried away. Didn’t you?

Now, lets keep the discussion short like you said. Do you think it a valid point that our women in Pakistan should be made to live in constant fear of the idiots in Aghnistan? Our perception of women’s right in our country is our right as a nation and we must support it without any lecturing or warnings or threats from any Afghani institution or gangs. Our warning our women in the name of Talibani version or any version tantamounts to justifying the Talibani barbaric approach to women in general and muslim women in particular. If that is what they preach as Islam then I think we must make it clear that the Islam we believe in commands us differently.

Forgive me if I sound disagreeing.

Pietrafesa was quoted in the Syracuse Post Standard offered this explanation as to why some might claim Hillary Clinton is a lesbian “Women who are accomplished, whose ambitions, behavior, accomplishments make some people uncomfortable with their own, can really expect their sexuality questioned or slurred, denigrated,” she said.

Pietrafesa does say that she and Hillary Clinton were good friends while attending Wellesley College.”We spent a lot of time together
