Miss Universe pageant owner Donald Trump says he is considering a tribute to the newly crowned Miss Iraq, who has been hiding amid death threats.
"She is very proud to have won, and now she is in a very tough position," Trump told Friday's New York Post. "She is extremely brave."
Silvia Shahakian, 23, a Christian of Armenian ancestry, was crowned Sunday when the original winner stepped down after receiving threats from extremists.
Shahakian told ABC's "Good Morning America" she was going into hiding, but the Post said it is believed she is still in Iraq.
Trump said there may be a special salute to Shahakian during the Miss Universe pageant July 23 in Los Angeles.
"We've had countries in the contest before where it was not the most popular thing to do, but never like this," he said.

Another example of very brave people facing down a tremendously evil enemy.

Glad to see the Trump man sees it that way. As for the miss, hopefully no harm shall come her way.
How wonderfull the fat boy's militia is. Shame we can't drop tons of fuming sulphuric acid on their miserable heads.

US SOF should make it VERY CLEAR that attacks on this gal are not in the best interests of Jihad.

"of Armenian descent." The people in and from Armenia, that beleaguered, hard-scrabble little country, have held on to their Christian faith in a sea of Moslem oppression -in both Iraq and Turkey. They have also produced a lot of famous people: the composer Khachaturian, the MIG designer Mikoyan, the American financier Kerkorian, the American writer William Saroyan - and of course there is also Cher.

Ya know, that was kind of my thought too. I think Trump means well, but this has the potential of backfiring big time.
