For the first time, a Pakistani girl has participated in an international beauty
pageant overcoming the traditional barriers of the conservative Islamic nation.
Houston-based Pakistani-American Mariyah Moten (22) represented Pakistan at the
"Miss Bikini of the Universe" pageant held in Beihai, a summer resort city in
south China on August 28.
Mariyah won the "Best in Media" title (trophy plus sash), as being the most
photographed and interviewed girl in the entire pageant. Since the pageant, she
has been on Zee News, Khaleej Times, China Daily, Hangzhou Newspaper and various
other newspapers in China and elsewhere.
She was born and brought up in Karachi, Pakistan, and moved to the United States
with her family eight years back.
Presently she is studying Hotel Management at the University of Houston in
Texas, where she did her high schooling.
"It’s the first time that Pakistan is participating in the bikini pageant, as
we’re an Islamic country," Moten was quoted as saying by `China Daily`.
"Now there’s less reproach in Pakistan on women’s participation in such beauty
contests," she said.
"All my family support me and I’m excited to have the chance to participate in
the event." She and 47 other participants paraded at the `Great hall of the
people`
The candidates, all aged between 18 and 25, paraded before the cameras
representing their countries.
India did not participate.
The Bikini winner was crowned "Queen Pearl" and received USD 5,000 in prize
money; second and third place earned the title "Miss Pearl," and received USD
3,000 and USD 2,000 respectively, according to the pageant’s organizing
committee.
Competing with 44 delegates, Mariyah was given the award on the final night.
This is the second award Mariyah has received in her pageant career. She won
"Miss Charity" at the Miss Tourism Queen International pageant in July 2006, and
now the "Best in Media" title in August 2006 at the Miss Bikini Universe 2006
pageant.

We do not need to get angry at Mariyah Moten as people like her will probably end up banging their forehead into a pole or something, what kind of an idiot would run around in his underwear on global television? only the best kinds
It is just Ridiculous.
Islam does not allow even men to”"Expose”" then how can a Muslim Girl can Expose infront of Media???
The Girl is just trying to make Bad Name to Islam and Muslims.
She must not be Allowed to Represent Pakistan.
And who authorised her to Represent Pakistan, Did Govt. of Pakistan Allow her???
if yes it is Shame for Govt. and if not how the World Accepting her to Represent Pakistan??
It shows that West jsut want to make bad impression of Islam and Muslims, and want to Get Muslim Women out of their Homes in the Name of “Women Independance”" … While in their own coutries, women are Much more Un secure and Abused than in our Country…
It is just a Propeganda to Destroy the Image of Islam.
She must be stopped to Use the Name of Islam and Pakistan…
This is a desperate bid to break free from the self-assumed chains of the religion. This is explicitly the gross misrepresentation of Pakistani culture.
2 gud yarr finaaly sumthin paki chik worth watchin cum on gurlz learn sumthin 4rm her ………. take ur burqas off…..
excellent work
this is simply not fair
our Hazrat Dictator Parvez Musharraf sahab is “Enlightened Modrated”. This is just cuz of our govt weak policies, Pakistan cud officially anounce that she is not from Pakistan but y shud they… they r not islamic leaders they r leaders of Uryaanee n Bepardagee…
this is nothing except bull shit … i think we don’t hav to blame govt. of Pakistan… as we all know how moderate Musharraf sahab is… and it is now getting enough man!!
can’t bear it now … but i tell u one thing this will go on & on like this untill ….
Whats the problem with that? I dont mind wearing bikinis and I hope more and more paki girls do that. We live in an equal world. If Salman Khan can take off his shirt and whole of Pakistan has no problem with that then I will also move around in whatever my heart desires.
And just for record, I’m marrying an Indian as well. We are happy and we dont need any nonsense from you so called “Islamists”
well well there are different people in pak not all are muslims so pls get your head to that there are people who are allowed to drink, as well as go to church so pls lets move on noone said she is muslim so…
I Agree, Pakistan is a free country and is made up of many groups. Every one has the freedom to do what they want and so does she.
well I dont agree with one thing, some one said they are marrying an indian, well that is wrong because if you are a muslim then you should know better and I dont know when we Pakistani’s will get out of the influence of these stupid idiot indians. God I hate them!!!!!
well, I m sure that she would b xtreemly proud of representing Pakistan which is an Islamic country, and i m sure that she might also be a muslim. But how; my dear borthers and sisters, can we name a person muslim with having such properties. No and never.
well wat else extremism can be take off Ur cloths like animls n move in front of cmara to expose yaself n ppl look at ya like they look at animls in market, n how can she be muslim n how can she repersent pakistan when pakistani ppl dont want her to do this , is it democarsy????
look at american websites, the neocon’s are just extreme , dam bible bashers. nuked japan invaded vietnam, oppressed blacks, killed iraq’s and still no stoping their thurst for blood
how can jesus approve killing for oil?
omg wtf is this .. u know wat .. this is why the taliban still exists .. becuz of besharam assholes like her .. i think shes a orphan .. if she wasnt .. they’re prolly dead now after looking at her in that .. i dont even think she lives in pakistan .. people abroad get americanized and they forget about where they’re from .. i want her to go in any urban city of pakistan .. looking like that .. shes gonna know wat shame feels like .. as for the gurl that posed shes getting married to an indian .. u know wat .. the only reason ur talkin shit is cuz ur not even marrying a muslim .. ur kids r gonna be praising cows all their life
this world is fuked
u know wat, this world is different. i dont know why this woman has to show some of her parts, she could have think about creating more good images for islam. as we know the others have already branded muslim as terrorist and so stupid for them to do. why cant she do something better instead
i think she done well because she have a freedom to do any thing and it is not a wrong thing if she had a talent so let her be do.
Hey u all Islamist bastrads, U always found to marry 6-7 Females….. even for Sex u wont Let ur Own Blood Spare than How u all can Say Thats Bad….. Never Mind My all Btoher In laws,,, Very soon we are comin to change ur bread………
I wonder why my brother & sisters angry with that girl. We must unserstand that she has nothing to do any thing with islam, what she is doing shows that she nows noting about it in fact she want some cheap fame & easy money & thats the easiest way too get rich by let the people fuck ur self with their eyes & if the girl is happy with this thjen no problemo let her take the image with her family not with our country (Pakistan) B/C the girl is in a country where most people dont know who’s their father is…….. sorry about that
abay gandoo ki nassal only one is allowed in our religion no 2-3-4 if we cannot just. but in all other religions their is no limit jitni bhi chood lo “Fuck as many as u want” & what u fuckers do u didnt even marry them before consume them, C then u have to take care of them u have to cateer their needs u just fuck and left bloody exploiters. we marry womans even if it is more than 1 & cater their needs & take full responsibility not like u mean ass holes who just want to care about their bloody fuck……..& yes as soon womans understand that who is exploiting them you or us they will be on our side
I have no idea what u people mean about talent. What it seems to me by ur views A whore is one of the most talented women in ur country. & might be ur mother is one, U must be proud……
i thinks this is great, finally someone wants to show pakistan in a better limelight in stead of us being terrorist only.

This is GREAT. Now I’m even more motivated to chase Pakistani women. Thank you Mariyah Moten for showing the rest of us what we’re missing. We’re coming to get you. Yeah baby!!
i know what is the cause of this shamless act…she is from the ayesha, abu bakar, umar, and usman khandan…..ayesha bohot kush hogi ye keh joh voh nahi kar saki uskay nasal neh kar dekaya…..jee yo rundiiiaa!!!!
Na East Na West Shia is the Best!!!
HI!! i just want to say that in islam,there are lots of peoples who are drinking alcohal and fuck bitches like her but why we have to copy them all of you who are thinking this is right and what she wants to do in front of all the pakistani’s is right i think u can’t reamember that you all have sister’s and if your sister wants to wear bikini in front of u do you allow her to do that?? I think shemless persons will allow this bcz they want to see all the other girls naked also and last thing all the persons who are thinking this is right you don’t have the right to stay in pakistan bcz pakistan is muslim country and you are not muslim so go to HELL with all your ideas and sooner you know on JUDGMENT DAY who is right and who is wrong we all waiting for that tha day will come INSHAALLAH
Stop hating on the girl, she did not hurt anyone by participating in this pageant. Pakistan is a beautiful country with all sorts of beauty, she is just showing it off in her own way. I am proud of her, all other muslim countries participate in these pageants so why not pakistan. Its not like wearing skirts, dresses, and bikini’s is not common in Pakistan, a lot of this is seen in public, movies, ads, and behind closed doors of mulla’s, politicians, and other socialites. I support her all the way!!!!!
its just a propaganda to destroy Islam image, nothing else. So my dear muslim brother and sisters just keep quite, who are in favor of what she did or doing, they will be punished soon. just wait and watch.
I just want to mention that i have research and finally i didnt find that she has parents or she is a muslim girl and one more thing, Pakistan didnt permitted to her to represent pakistan.
If anyone has doubt so i would just say that now we have the technology just investigate yourself then post your comment.
Guyz, be a neutral.
GOD (ALLAH bless you all).
Hi!
I can say 1 thing here that is only 1 person said a right thing in the whole page that is “Hira Khan”. Also for your information please remember Pakistan was a part of India & still Muslims are more in India then in Pakistan.
im muslim and my mom wears bikinis and shes hot i love bikini girls.
i am looking some politics in this scene, i think behind all this have a big hand to make people of other continent to blame freely pakistan and islam.
