Islamic hard-liners barged in on Indonesia's transvestite beauty pageant, panicking its skimpily dressed contestants, but failing to stop the show -- the second year running that the world's most populous Muslim nation has staged such an event.
Dressed in white tunics and prayer caps, about 10 members of the Islamic Defender’s Front pushed their way into the nightclub yesterday where 30 contestants were competing for the title of Miss Transvestite.
