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.

PC Bag Job. Been FIXED this way for more than 15 years.
A socio-politically motivated decision?
No, not in America!
Yep. You need to be black or deaf or a koranimal, etc.
As far as looks go, she certainly isn't bad looking.
And it's not like she had a choice what family she was born to... so if you must condemn her, condemn he on something she DOES have control over.
you mean like our president? the peace prize winner? The supreme court nominees?
nah, not like that at all.
Does she characterize herself as Arab first and American second, or is that LSM spin?
I have a friend of Lebanese heritage. He is 100% pure American. Christian. Pro-Second Amendment. Pro-profiling for terrorists (even knowing it might be a hassle for him). In short, to the right of me and Rush. Brilliant to boot.
But the racist LSM would just see him as an “Arab American” victim. Until he kicked their rears for doing so...
Her relatives are top officials in Hezbollah. She is a supporter of Hezbollah.
Source ?
OK, based on the thread above this one, she is a “the Hezbollah-supporting Shiite Muslim representing Michigan in Sundays Miss USA pageant.”
She might be pretty on the outside, but that’s ugly to the bone.
Just more PC travesty. NOTHING like my friend.
>Her relatives are top officials in Hezbollah.
Like I said, she CAN’T control who her relatives are.
>She is a supporter of Hezbollah.
That she CAN control; another is the statement about birth-control pills.
Next stop for this babe, visit to the Whitey House with Hussein Obama and the Misses. Of course, nothing PC about this pick.
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.
I will censor my comments.
