Miss Michigan Rima Fakih has become the first Arab-American and Muslim to be crowned Miss America. Fakih, 24, is of Lebanese descent. She won the swimsuit, evening gown and interview competitions. Fakih said during her interview that she believes birth control should be paid for by a national health insurance program, a marked contrast politically from Miss USA runner up Carrie Prejean's controversial comment last year opposing gay marriage.

“This is historic,” said Imad Hamad of the American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee. “This shows the greatness of America, how everyone can have a chance to make it," he told the Detroit Free Press.

"She definitely needs a good meal."

Yeah, she's a pretty young lady, but give her a biscuit or something, she looks famished.

“If they are not hipocrits, the Muslim world will be threatening her death by tomorrow morning.”

It would not surprise me... She’s from Lebanon, one of the more enlightened place in the arab world. Beirut used to be called the Paris of the ME. And probably she’s about as devout a muslim as I am.

Even though I’m not a big fan of beauty contests, I think events like these go a long way in promoting assimilation. It will undoubtedly infuriate the islamists even more, but for the squishy muslims, this will push them more to our side. And the more they become “americanized” the closer we are to ending this culture war.

There was an interesting panel of judges this year as well. NBA star Carmelo Anthony of the Denver Nuggets was a judge as were former Miss USA 2006, Tara Conner, and The Food Network’s Paula Deen. Also judging were Oscar Nunez (The Office), businessman Phil Ruffin, model Melania Trump, Olympic figure skater Johnny Weir and Glamour Magazine editor Suze Yalof-Schwartz.

Tell me this wasn’t fixed. Like the POTUS I will not recognize her either. I smell a lying PR move.

She is an American citizen of Lebanese decent. She has not displayed any tendencies to kill anyone as far as I can see. She is participating in a pageant that basically goes against EVERYTHING RADICAL ISLAM is AGAINST!!! Why not step back from the edge and have another look... perhaps she is just an American young woman participating in an American pageant.... and whaddaya’ know... she WON! This issue is not a part of the war on terror. Truly... not.

First Muslim Grabs Miss USA Crown

Gee, I'm surprised the winner wasn't half Hispanic and half Black, pro-abortion, who is a short person, a lesbian with an artificial eye who was constantly beaten by males and is an advocate of several LEFTIST causes.

Thank You.
I thought I was the only one. Shed needs several bowls of grits. Way too skinny. Like my old daddy used to say about skinny ladies. "She looks like she just got over hook worm treatment."

Assimlation? You must be kidding, she is a Hezbollah suppoter. Do you see them assimiating across the West, or do you see them trying to takeover? Either we end Muslim immigration, or it is just a matter of time until they takeover.

Do you see Lebanon even attemping to disarm Hamas? They are not coming to our side, it will be us or Sharia, as Islam calls for perpetual war.
