From 51 to 1: 2010 Miss USA Crowned in Las Vegas

May 16, 2010

LAS VEGAS (AP) -- A 24-year-old brunette from Michigan has beaten out four blondes and 46 other women for the 2010 Miss USA title after nearly stumbling in her evening gown.

Rima Fakih of Dearborn, Mich., won the pageant Sunday night after swimsuit, evening gown and interview competitions at the Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino. During the competition, Fakih nearly fell while finishing her walk in a long, strapless gown because of the length of its train, but she recovered without a spill and went on to win.

In the interview, Fakih was asked whether she thought birth control should be paid for by health insurance, and she said she believed it should. Miss Oklahoma USA Morgan Elizabeth Woolard was first runner-up after handling a question about Arizona's new immigration law. She said she supports it.

I submit she may just say she is Catholic to avoid being murdered.

If her parents are indeed Lebanese Christians, that is a tough life. I read Brigitte Gabriel’s book “Why They Hate”, and the war waged against them by the Lebanese muslims was horrific.

At least one person in Michigan will have a job now.

I'm SURE papa Hussein approves of his little westernized slut.

EXCLUSIVE: Meet Miss USA Contestant’s Hezbollah “Martyr” Family

EXCLUSIVE: Miss USA Contestant is Shi’ite Muslim Hezbollah Supporter, Used Pageant Name to Promote Muslim Female Subjugation; Hezbo Taqiyyah Allows Bikinis?

[38special]

I’d hit it...lol

[Star Traveler]

Hmmm... the Hezbollah women are getting a little bit better looking these days ... LOL ...

[Perdogg]

I beg to differ. Her ancestry is why Marcus Antonius and Alexander the Great stayed in Central Asia and North Africa.

[Talisker]

Is there anything to THIS?

Yikes, from your link: Miss USA Contestant is Shi’ite Muslim Hezbollah Supporter, Used Pageant Name to Promote Muslim Female Subjugation

"Rima Fakih, Miss Michigan USA, who will compete in Sunday Night’s pageant broadcast on NBC, is a Dearbornistan Shi’ite Muslim who is a supporter of Hezbollah and used the pageant name at a forum promoting Islamic subjugation of women.

"She was born in the Hezbollah stronghold of Srifa in South Lebanon, which Israel was forced to attack in the 2006 Israel-Hezbollah war because it was a site of Hezbollah weaponry. Her devout Muslim family comes from the Hezbollah-controlled South Lebanon.

"Intelligence sources confirm that at least three of Fakih’s relatives are currently top officials in Hezbollah and that at least eight Fakih family members were Hezbollah terrorists killed by the Israelis in past Israel-Lebanese wars and interventions.

"Some of her family members were originally in Harakat Amal [the Shi'ite Amal militia], which is now essentially a part of Hezbollah. There’s a reason that even Al-Manar TV–Hezbollah’s official TV network–is high on Fakih in the Miss USA pageant."

A big who gives a shit, this hasn't been relevant since the fifties if then.

Dipstick. I dated a city queen a long time ago. Seems, nothing has changed. They are still beautiful and still lacking in the gray matter area!

It will be alright, because I’m pretty!

[cll]

She looks like every other Puerto Rican...

[23 Everest]

Everyone here is nuts! She is plainly Amish.

[Sherman Logan]

OK. We’ve got one group of reports she’s Catholic and then Debbie says she’s Shiite.

You have any particular reason why we should assume Debbie is correct and the other sources are wrong?

[NautiNurse]

According to the Detroit Free Press, she is a Muslim who attended Catholic schools. Her photographer is also Muslim.

[Aria]

I guess this is what a Muslim looks like after they’ve assimilated.

[Perdogg]

I knew this Shia from Dearborn I would see at the pool. The way her one piece was cut in the rear would make a two-piece look modest. Kind of strange.
