according to the article, the winner, from Michigan:
“Fakih, a Lebanese immigrant, told pageant organizers her family celebrates both Muslim and Christian faiths”
take that for what it’s worth
Taqiyya for what it is worth.
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.
The ultimate in confusion. Obviously they are clueless, most probably about both of those religions.
I need to read more slowly. When I first read your comment I thought you said she was a "lesbian" immigrant!
For me: that it is absolutely impossible. She and her handlers are lying about one or the other.
