...hoping to become the first Muslim to represent her country in the Miss Universe pageant has gotten "indirect" threats against her life, she told CNN on Thursday. Shanna Bukhari said she'd received "a lot of support from all communities," but that she got "some hate mail from all communities as well."
"Indirect threats have been made," she said, including video links being posted of men "suggesting things could possibly happen."
..."My intentions were not to bring my religion into this," she said.
She said she would participate in the swimsuit round of the contest, but would not be "exposing revealing parts of my body."
"I will not be wearing a bikini," she said. "I will be wearing a one-piece swimsuit and a sarong."
Her approach
She believes Muslims in the UK should be allowed to have a western lifestyle.
But Muslim groups have accused her of disrespecting Islam.
Good luck to her.
