Scandalous: It requires that Miss Australia be crowned because she is Muslim

Some have said that beauty cannot be declared Australia's most beautiful, being Muslim.

Numerous citizens have asked organisers to receive the crown.

Sorry about those people. I think all those claims are due mainly to misunderstandings. I hope these barriers will be broken between people, so I'll be the one I'm”, the 25-year-old said.

It has also sought greater tolerance for Muslims in Australia, while it has said it does not mean that Islam has defined its identity.

Beauty was born in a refugee camp, as her parents had fled the war in Bosnia and Herzegovina in the '30 ' s.

Esma is currently preparing for the beauty race, Miss Botaí, to be held in China.
