Muslim Miss USA 2010

Re: Muslim Miss USA 2010

My views are socially liberal even by US standards. I am not put off by the idea of her competing, or of her photos in a bikini. I recognize that most Muslims and Pakistanis will feel differently. I accept responsibility for how much or not I follow religion and am content to let her do the same.

From a political perspective, I think her victory helps the Arab and Muslim community because it helps emphasize that there is more to Arabs and Muslims than what makes the news with respect to terrorism.

Even better. I think it helps if she has traits that bring admiration from the public here.

yeahhh.. another feather to her hat

DETROIT (AP) — Former Miss USA Rima Fakih was speeding and weaving through traffic with an uncorked, half-empty bottle of champagne and a blood-alcohol level more than twice the legal limit when she was arrested in the Detroit enclave of Highland Park, according to a police report released Tuesday.

Re: Muslim Miss USA 2010

There are two extremes you have mentioned
1) distance herself from her Muslim identity
2) presenting herself as a representative of the Muslim faith

She probably falls somewhere in the continuum that exists between the two extremes.

'yeahhh.. another feather to her hat"

No, this one was a human fallibility. The Miss USA however indeed was a feather in her cap.
