Arab-American from Michigan crowned 2010 Miss USA

[WoodPeckr]

Rima Fakih is STUNNING!!!!

Wonder how our poor peanut gallery of Arab haters will take this one?.....

Rima Fakih of Michigan was crowned Miss USA on Sunday.

Pageant organizers on Sunday night crowned a 24-year-old Lebanese immigrant from Michigan as Miss USA 2010.

Rima Fakih was born in Lebanon, moved to the United States as a baby and was raised in New York City, where she attended a Catholic school. She told pageant organizers her family celebrates both Muslim and Christian faiths. Her family moved to Michigan in 2003, where she later became Miss Michigan USA.

BTW, though she`s stunning, she looks 5 years older than her age and too skinny for my taste.

Rima deserves her own thread

LOL! Just turned on the boob tube and saw the news story on who won.
I don't think she's too skinny at all!

Don't go questioning her age or the wacko 'teabagging birthers' will start protesting her to get her crown removed!.....

I am not much into pageants but congrats to the young lady.

I'm sure the southern red-necks and trailer park trash aren't too happy.

Congrats to Rima Fakih. She’s a really stunning lady. Just goes to show how the world is full of beautiful women.

The US is a multi-cultural society much like Canada, so someone from a non-European background winning Miss USA doesn’t seem all that news-worthy to me.

Any truth to the rumour, when she was asked "how would you solve world peace" she said, "Death to America"?

Ya that is not funny

Ya that is not funny

Are you kidding? With all the anti-arab bullshit that gets posted on TERB; my joke is hilarious!

 

[Tokyo Heights]

Rima Fakih is really georgeous and beautiful, whatever is her background, why people forget that her present nationality is American!
Congratulations and goodluck to her.

 

[The Oracle]

She's thin but just the same very beautiful in my eyes.

 

[blackram]

She kind of reminds me of that Pussycat Doll, Nicole S.

agreed. That is what I was thinking. I also was thinking "I'd hit it.".

Hmm...she looks like older than 24 even though she's hot as a brunette.

Me though, I stick to natural blonde.

BTW, I thought of EVOO, hummus and waxing in no particular order the first time I saw her on tv. Don't ask me why.

Hmm...why do you omit Israel in that "Death to America joke"? Isn't that equally "relevant" since she's Lebanese by descent and both Lebanon and Israel are "neighbors"?

Having said that, I hope she's not going to end up like many average Americans-very obese after fulfilling the duty as Miss USA and enjoying all supersized meals going forward, say her favorite food pizza.

BTW, before any pro-Arabs people here start the lashing, that's equally applicable to any ethnic background in North America.

She's a lovely woman. Dearborn, Michigan is one of the world's largest Arab Christian population centers.

By the way I don't see much hatred of Arabs here, what I do see is disgust with certain ideological - religious beliefs common in the Islamic Middle East.

She's beautiful, every straight guy would agree.

And you're right, I don't see hatred of Arabs here, all I see is hatred and disgust of radical Islam, which is 100% justified and should be hated by all.

 

[Aardvark154]

Merely to clarify given my comment regarding Dearborn, I read that Rima Fakih comes from a Shite family.

Which has nothing to do with the facts that she is beautiful and seemingly nice and a U.S. National.

Very cute.
