LAS VEGAS (AP) -- A 24-year-old Arab American from Michigan beat out 50 other women to take the 2010 Miss USA title Sunday night, despite nearly stumbling in her evening gown.

Rima Fakih of Dearborn, Mich., won the pageant at the Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino on the Las Vegas Strip after strutting confidently in an orange and gold bikini, wearing a strapless white gown that resembled a wedding dress and saying health insurance should cover birth control pills.

My great-grandmother would be spinning in her grave if I said that my (1/8) Lebanese heritage was “Arab.” We were taught to say “Near Eastern.”

But she was just a dumb, Americanized, Greek Orthodox Christian...

How about asking her if she supports Hezbollah and Hamas and the destruction of Isreal and the murder of all Jews? How about asking her if she thinks that Jews are filthy pigs?

She seems to be a “Muslim” who graduated from a Catholic High School, according to her web site.

You were saying ...

It's not uncommon for kids to go to another school even though they are Muslim. I remember hearing Walid Shoebat talk about the same thing, when he went to a non-Muslim school when growing up in Israel in the Palestinian areas.

Those schools would also be prohibited from saying anything negative about Islam and/or Mohammed. And also, Jesus is revered, too, in Islam, but not as the Son of God, just another respected prophet and teacher... with Mohammed being the final, real prophet.

And one thing you can't "get out of" -- is if you're born into a Muslim family, which it's clear that she was, you are definitely a Muslim and you are prohibited from ever leaving the Muslim faith ... or you can be killed by other Muslims.

It would be the same thing as having a Chavez backing Communist women win Ms. Venezuela and go on and win Ms. Universe. Beautiful on the outside, evil on the inside.

The same goes for the hot women in the Spetsnaz and Russian GRU.

I suspect her family are Alawites like the Assad family that runs Syria: a type of Shi’ite with some Christian customs and Christian feasts, and often taking Christian names (Bashir is the Arabic equivalent of Basil or Vassily). The sect were probably cryto-Christians years back, but now are just a very odd sect of Shia Islam.

Actually, the Alawites’ oddity matters: the Assads only keep control of Syria by being good to all the minorities, Christians included. It also made them more pliable to U.S. interests vis-a-vis Al Qaeda, which sees them as even more heretical than ordinary Shi’ites, and would dearly like to see the Assads overthrown.

Of course, the enemy of my enemy is not my fiend, nor even a reliable ally when they are also the enemy of your ally (Israel), but the U.S. needs to be aware of such things since we *are* a great power and have to pay attention to the niceties of distinctions between implacable enemies and enemies we can twist to do our will when necessary.

Did she promote gay marriage or free baby killings paid by uncle Sam?

“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.”

That might be okay for International politics to keep up on all that ... but having a Jew-hating Muslim sponsor for the Miss USA Pagaent and then getting a Hezbollah-Muslim monkey for a winner — is “another story” ...

OK, based on the thread above this one, she is a “the Hezbollah-supporting Shiite Muslim representing Michigan in Sundays Miss USA pageant.”

That thread also has no credible evidence backing its wild accusations.

Okay, maybe I'm the dumb one, but since when to Shiite Muslims condone a woman dressing as she does and would throughout the pageant?

People who watch TV and pay for cable or sat TV are just supporting Obama because ALL teh networks do and they control the rest of the channels. Fox/Saudia is no better. Keep watching TV to support Islamification. The public is so stupid.
