MISS IRAQ FORCED TO FLEE
Labeled “The queen of infidels”
Jihadists threaten a beauty queen (via ABC News):
Iraq’s newly crowned beauty queen, Tamar Goregian, has decided to step down — just four days after her election, making this the shortest reign in the pageant’s 60-year history.
On April 9, the 23-year-old, who was the first Armenian Iraqi to win the Miss Iraq pageant, announced her resignation after receiving threats by a group of religious extremists who referred to her as “the queen of infidels” for participating in the contest.
The pageant director said: “I respect her decision. The country is undergoing rough times, and we understand her desire to protect herself and her family.”
