Miss USA: don't build GZM
2010-08-21
Inside Edition caught up with Fakih backstage as she rehearsed for the Miss Universe Pageant in Las Vegas on Monday.

Fakih says she backs President Obama regarding freedom of religion, but says that there should be sensitivity as to where the NYC mosque is built, and that she does not think it is appropriate to be built near Ground Zero.

Rima Fakih: "I totally agree with President Obama with the statement on Constitutional rights of freedom of religion. I also agree that it shouldn't be so close to the World Trade Center. We should be more concerned with the tragedy than religion."

#5  She should eat some apple pie - not bad looking, but needs a little more than skin over her bones.

#4  Conservative women seem to have a lock on the beauties, while the left seems to have a lock on being real dogs.

#3  As Miss Universe, I want to help feed the hungry children all over the world and help promote peace. And.. I want Christians, Muslims and Jews to share an apple pie. We can all share apple pie. I want all of the children to be happy and eat apple pie!

#2  From Wiki:

Fakih was born in Srifa, a small city in the Jabal Amel region of Southern Lebanon, to a "powerful" Shi'a Muslim family.

Fakih and her family are Muslim, but they also celebrate elements of Christianity, such as Christmas.

#1  Spoken by an intelligent arab-american -- not a muslim-american. IIRC, she's a Chaldean Catholic of Lebanese heritage...
