Suffragette1 Posted May 30, 2010 Share Posted May 30, 2010 ashok kumar was the most prominent one around here but sadly he died a couple of months ago, did a lot for the local area too. and yeah on the wiki link i gave about Rima it states "Many Arab Americans celebrated Fakih's victory,[7] but some Muslims felt she did not properly represent their religion. Muslim scholar Ghazal Omid wrote "To say that she is a Muslim is inaccurate. No Muslim woman can call herself a ... Muslim and be on stage with her bikini".[20] Responding to the issue in interviews, Fakih said she and her family are Muslims and respect the religion, but they may not be as strict as many people and do not define themselves by their religion; they view themselves as more "spiritual" than "religious" and appreciate all religions" in other words shes just like the rest of us really, say wer're christian or whatever but only in a spiritual / name type thing rather than practice it to the letter. again it just goes to show despite what certain people on here would have you believe they are not ALL bomb toting extremist nutjobs out to kill us all No, just out to blind us with their WMDs! If only more people didn't slavishly follow a set of anachronistic, misogynistic, homophobic ideals. However, I wouldn't endorse parading around in a bikini and being judged by one's looks as being the acceptable face of Islam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoddyHolder Posted May 30, 2010 Share Posted May 30, 2010 No, just congratulate them on being sexist instead! There is a history of ethnic women winning Miss USA, as far as I'm aware.

Suffragette1 Posted May 30, 2010 Share Posted May 30, 2010 Sexist !..tell me do you wear make up when you go out ? What's that got to do with anything? There's a world of difference between selling oneself and being judged solely on one's looks, figure etc and putting on a bit of slap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
