Muslim Controversy Fed By Miss USA Rima Fakih Swimsuit Photos
Miss USA 2010’s winner is Muslim. Nothing better would have been asked by promoters of the contest. The fact that the Miss USA 2010 winner Rima Fakih is a Muslim gives the event, a relic of the 1950s, a much needed shot of pop culture relevance and contemporary political controversy. The "Miss USA 2010 Rima Fakih is Muslim" story provides a mixture of sex, religion and politics -- a golden triangle of payday cash loans for the media. Some people feel the contest was rigged in order to select Muslim Miss Michigan Rima Fakih was the winner.
Rima Fakih swimsuit photos
Miss USA 2010 winner Rima Fakih is an Arab-American of Lebanese heritage from Dearborn, Mich., one would expect Rima Fakih swimsuit photos to outrage Muslims, who prefer women to be draped and hidden from view. Last week the Miss USA pageant released on the internet photos of Fakih in fishnet stockings bearing cleavage and a sultry gaze. As a Muslim, Fakih shows a lot of courage as a member of a religion whose men commit atrocious crimes against women, such as "honor" killings for violating dress codes. But the Detroit Free Press reports that several Arab-American and Lebanese organizations in Dearborn have helped Fakih a lot by helping to finance her pageants, including Imad Hamad, head of the Michigan branch of the American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee.
Miss USA Muslim seems to be red meat for bloggers
For conspiracy minded right wing bloggers, Miss USA 2010 Muslim Rima Fakih is fresh meat. Debbie Schlussel is generating traffic for her blog by charging that Fakih supporter Imad Hamad is an Islamic terrorist and the contest was rigged. Schlussel calls Rima Fakih a "Hezbollah-supporting Shiite Muslim" and says: "It’s a sad day in America but a very predictable one, given the politically correct, Islamo-pandering climate in which we’re mired."
Miss USA 2010 sore losers
Miss USA 2010 intends to be a traditional celebration of talent and beauty, but anything that happens to have a "USA" on its label is doomed to be politicized these days. In reporting about the contest won by dark skinned, raven-haired Muslim Rima Fakih, Fox News suggests that blond, Miss Oklahoma Morgan Elizibeth Woolard lost solely because of her answer to a question about Arizona's immigration law. Woolard said she supported the law, which requires police to verify a person's immigration status if they suspect that person is an illegal.
According to Fox, "Woolard lost the crown after answering a controversial question that may be unpopular with some, but reflects the opinion of the majority of Americans." Woolard's support of the immigration law so offended the liberal judges of Miss USA 2010 that Woolard lost the crown after answering a controversial question that may be unpopular with some, but reflects the opinion of the majority of Americans. Fox said Woolard's support of Arizona's immigration law so offended the liberal judges of Miss USA 2010 that Fakih won the crown "despite nearly tripping on her evening gown."
Affirmative action for Muslims?
Some say Rima Fakih only won Miss USA 2010 because of affirmative action for Muslim women in beauty pageants. Daniel Pipes decided to look into that and said in response "...this surprising frequency of Muslims winning beauty pageants makes me suspect an odd form of affirmative action." Pipes found that out of hundreds of beauty pageants in the world over the past few years, a Muslim woman won America's Junior Miss in 2007, the 2009 Mlle Picardie in France, Miss England in 2006, and in an indication of a global Muslim beauty conspiracy, Miss Nottingham in 2005. This was Pipes’ conclusion:
Affirmative action was first applied in beauty contests for black women to win in the 1980s, then it was the turn of Latin, brown skinned women, and now its Muslims. That's why most people ignore these rigged "events." They are money losers and require controversy.
Rima Fakih: definitely not the first Muslim in a swimsuit
This Miss USA 2010 pageant with Rima Fakih isn’t the first time a Muslim has hit headlines because of a beauty contest. According to Wikipedia, 2002 stands out for its number of beauty pageant winners from Muslim countries with a majority Muslim population. Christina Sawaya won the Miss International pageant as Miss Lebanon. Miss Turkey, Azra Akın, ended up winning Miss World, and the original winner of Miss Earth for that year was Džejla Glavović from Bosnia and Herzegovina (before being replaced by Winfred Omwakwe of Kenya). In 2006, Pakistan crowned Mariyah Moten, its first Miss Bikini Universe, which infuriated Muslims worldwide.
