** *First Muslim Miss England crowned
*A teenager from an Afghan Family who was born in Uzbekistan has
become the
first Muslim beauty contestant to be crowned Miss England .
Hammasa Kohistani, 18, said she was "happy to make history" and was
looking
forward to representing England in the Miss World championships in
China .
She was born in Tashkent , central Uzbekistan , after her parents were
forced to flee Afghanistan ..
The brunette, who speaks six languages including Russian and
Persian, was selected from 40 contestants. She was crowned on Saturday
night
followingthe two-day competition at Liverpool 's Olympia Theatre.
*I'm making history and I'm very happy.*

Kohistani
*Dressed in an ivory white chiffon and silk ball gown designed
and made by her mother, the teenager spoke of her joy at winning the
title.
"When they announced that I had won I thought I had misheard. I hoped
they
hadn't, but it took a second to sink in."
Asked about her feelings at being the first Muslim Miss England,
she said: "I'm making history and I'm very happy. Hopefully I won't be
the
last."
The student, who was known as Miss Maya after the Asian fashion
house which sponsored her, has also been offered a part in a forthcoming
Bollywood
movie.
Among those Miss Kohistani beat was another Muslim entrant,
Sarah Mendly,23, who was voted Miss Nottingham. Miss Mendly had been
among
the favourites but her entry caused controversy when Liverpool 's
Islamic
institute called on her to pull out because contestants are often
scantily
clad.
The Miss World championships will be held in December.
