HERE SHE IS...MISS HEADSCARF

We reported on this last week. I figured you were just dying to know who won:

The winner of DR's Miss Headscarf 2008 competition is Huda Falah (18) from Gentofte. Falah was born in Iraq and has been wearing a headscarf since she was 9. She says it was her own choice, as she saw her mother and cousins wearing the headscarf.

Her reason for wearing a headscarf today: women are like diamonds, and a diamond isn't displayed to everybody. She signed up to the competition since she thinks there's a barrier between Muslim and Danish youth, and saw the competition as a way of breaking it down.
Yes Miss Headscarf. You're the Rosa Parks of Denmark.
