Reign of first Muslim Miss USA to end at Las Vegas pageant tonight
A terrorist organization have come tonight, the next Miss USA will likely face more questions about her beauty secrets than whether she's tied and reign of Rima Fakih, the current title holder and first Muslim-American successor at the 2011 Miss USA Pageant in Las Vegas.
During her tenure, Fakih, 25, who was born in Lebanon, repeatedly faced questions about her ethnic and religious identity.
Fakih flatly denied the allegation, calling it the product of a blogger who had made it up "out of her prejudiced mind."
"I'd like to say I'm American first, and I am an Arab-American," Fakih said. "I am Lebanese-American, and I am Muslim-American."
Miss Universe pageant Fakih not only stood up for herself, she lent moral and vocal support to another Muslim beauty contestant, Great Britain.
Those were taken during a radio station competition in which no clothes were removed, Fakih said.
There were those pictures of her standing next to a stripper's pole circulating around the Internet that Fakih had to explain.
