BALI, Indonesia (AP) — The 63rd edition of the Miss World pageant opened Sunday after protests by Muslim hard-liners confined the event to Indonesia's predominantly Hindu resort island of Bali.
The opening ceremony, which was televised to 186 countries, featured Bali's Kecak dance and a parade of all 131 contestants.
Following days of protests by Indonesian hard-line Muslim groups and the rejection of the contest by a leading clerics' organization, the government announced Saturday that it was moving the Sept. 28 final round to Bali. It was initially set to be held in Sentul, on the outskirts of the capital, Jakarta.
"We only want to try to find the best way of working together," Morley told a news conference Saturday in Bali.
Bali is the only Hindu-dominated province in Indonesia, the world's most populous Muslim country.
Controversy over the pageant has been mounting in Indonesia, which has a reputation as a tolerant, pluralist society that respects freedom of expression.

Skimpy swimwear has been axed to avoid offending the Muslim population of Indonesia, where the 2013 contest will be hosted.
Beach fashion will still feature in the pageant, but the 137 beauty queens will wear more conservative outfits, such as sarongs.
Miss World Organisation chairwoman Julia Morley told AFP she did not
want to "upset or get anyone in a situation where we are being
disrespectful".
She added: "We treasure respect for all the countries that take part in the pageant."
Nana Putra, from the official pageant broadcaster MNC, also told the
news agency: "We discussed the beach fashion issue last year with Miss
World in London before we even agreed to host the event because we knew
this would be sensitive in Indonesia."
Miss World 2013 takes place on the holiday island of Bali in September.
