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.

Cheers!
because birth control is a disease to these people. I knew the girl who expressed support for Arizona had no shot.
Waiting for Perdogg’s pics.
Sounds like a Muslim Miss USA.
So...I hear she's a Muslim.
This raises a question;
Will there be a fatwah issued, calling for her execution for baring her body before the world?
Miss Hezbollah wins!
Let me guess .... MUSLIM ?
gnashing my teeth
Nope, according to her bio, Catholic. (strange considering birth control comment)
LOLzers! winnah!
Lebanese-American: I say more power to Muslim women who wish to westernize!
This is the only way she can legitimately compete in that contest ... LOL ...

That explains it. Lebanese-Catholics (Maronites) are very westernized and hate the Muslims.

From one of the bios I found, her parents were Greek Catholic refugees from the Lebanese war.
