Nakon osvajanja titule Miss Australije, Bošnjakinja suočena s teškim uvredama jer je muslimanka

Miss Australije Esma Voloder je odgovorila na tvrdnje da ne može biti predstavnica Australije s obzirom na njenu islamsku vjeroispovijest.

- Opraštam im. Vjerujem da te riječi dolaze iz nerazumijevanja. Život je previše kratak za negativnost. Nadam se da ću uspjeti srušiti tu barijeru - rekla je Voloder za The Daily Telegraph.

Direktorica organizacije za izbore Missice Deborah Miller izjavila je da otkako je Voloder dobila titulu Miss Australije, organizacija događaja je dobila nekoliko ‘‘bezobraznih i užasnih‘‘ poziva u kojima gledatelji zahtijevaju da ova odluka bude povučena.

- Pitali su kako smo mogli dopustiti da muslimanka pobijedi, ali mi vjerujemo da je Esma snažna žena i predstavlja miltikulturalnu Australiju - dodala je Miller.

Esma Voloder je rođena u izbjegličkom kampu tijekom rata u Bosni i Hercegovini, a sada radi u kao kriminalni profiler u Melbournu. U intervjuu za The Morning Show, Voloder je rekla da joj je iskustvo njenih roditelja pomoglo da nauči biti zahvalna što je dobila šansu koju njeni roditelji nikada nisu imali. - Dolazim s drugog kraja svijeta i naravno da mora postojati dobar razlog za nekoga da napusti svoju državu - rekla je Voloder.

Esma je također pozvala sve da budu tolerantniji, te da imaju razumijevanja za kritičare. - Mnogo stvari o Islamu je pogrešno protumačeno. Pojavila se nova grupa muslimana koja ne slijedi prave vrijednosti iz Kurana. Vjerujem da se Islam bazira na miru, jedinstvu i prosperitetu. Islam koji ja poznajem ne vežem za terorističke napade u svijetu. Ljudi krive religiju za užasne prizore kojima svjedočimo svakodnevno, a time skidamo odgovornost sa pojedinaca. Voloder kaže da zbog negativnih kritika neće odustati od putovanja u Kinu i natjecanje za titulu Miss Svijeta.
