According to the Detroit Free Press, she is a Muslim who attended Catholic schools. Her photographer is also Muslim.
True... here is one paragraph ...
Fakih's family is itself a blend of cultures and religions, including both Christians and Muslims. Though Muslim, Fakih's parents celebrate Christmas and have a painting of Jesus in their home.
If you are born into a Muslim family, you are a Muslim ... that's the way it works.
Jesus is considered a prophet in the Muslim religion (not the son of God).
At least that is what one very religious Muslim told me and he prayed at work on his prayer rug 5 times a day.
So, it's probably not unusual to have a picture of Jesus.
That she is allowed to compete in a beauty contest is the part that's got me stumped.
Also I would like to know if it is true about her sponsor.
