printI thought she was merely stupid and definitely not beautiful, but it turns out that the Miss Ummah America might be the beneficiary of a pattern of Muslim affirmative action in western beauty pageants
That might explain why these women are winners, although not one is particularly beautiful.
Rima Fakih certainly isn’t. I was struck by how conceited and stupid she was.
Conceited because during the competition she described herself as beautiful, intelligent, and a “goddess.” Modesty and a little less self-awareness and narcissism are what make a woman attractive in my old-fashioned opinion. These brazen creatures have repulsing personae.
Stupid because in her reply to that question that gets asked typically by the prototypical radical liberal gay (Oscar Nunez) or by a retarded glamor puss (Trump trophy wife), Fakih managed to promote taxpayer support for the birth-control pill (“b/c it’s expensive”), as well as claim the Pill was a “controlled substance.”
We’ll be exporting more stupidity with her as representative.
The first runner-up, Miss Oklahoma Morgan Elizabeth Woolard, sealed her fate when, in reply to one Oscar Nunez’s question about where she stood on Arizona’s SB 1070, she said she was “a huge believer in states’ rights”: “I think that’s what’s so wonderful about America, so I think it’s perfectly fine for Arizona to create that law.” “The crowd erupted in boos over the intrusion of politics,” Fox News reported.
This girl had a bit more of a brain than Carrie Prejean, that’s for sure, however, since the competition is ultimately about beauty, it should be noted that one or two real beauties were eliminated early on in the competition.
The finalists were certainly not the fairest.
Update (May 18): Myron’s favorite of 1992 has that regal look, as opposed the pole-slip-sliding appeal. There were a couple like her in the 2010 intake, but they were, obviously, dismissed in favor of the porn (and the politically correct) aesthetic.
To those who confuse cheap, sexy with beautiful: no, Rima Fakih is no beauty. She looks like porn star Kim Kardashian, who, frankly, repulses. She may be sexy in that cheap way, but in my view, the culture has adopted the male-centered porn aesthetic. So enamored are we with it, that we would not know refined beauty if we saw it. Witness the classic beauties (one in particular with green eyes and brown hair) who never made the finals in this year’s pageant. Obviously, all contestants had fabulous figures.
They still have beauty contests?
It sounds like South Park material to me. No wait, nevermind.
You crack me up Ilana! How could you sit through that mindless drivel? You must have needed a few or a lot of good laughs.
I feel that the results of the beauty contest are a perfect symbol of current affairs.
To be fair, the lady isn’t exactly the ugliest thing to have ever come out of Islamistan. That being said, she is average in comparison to the other contestants.
Which brings me to my final question: What did she wear during the swimsuit contest?
Why not just crown a gay male Muslin hailing from Gaza or some Absurdistan and put an end to this quest for egalitarian political significance.
Or a gay male Muslim in a muslin gown.
You are going tell me with a straight face, that you think this girl here:

…is not good looking?
Just as well that I missed the TV spectacle. One of the most gorgeous contestants I ever saw was Miss Venezuela in the 1992 Miss Universe:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carolina_Izsak
who apparently was # 1 in all 3 categories by a record margin until she got to a final “interview question” and got kiboshed. I had no idea of her name but I think she had the wrong religion (hint – Izsak Isaacson ….[your host’s maiden name]). She is preserved in YouTube and reminds me a bit of my late Linda.
So like Prejean and Woolard, the interview serves to select the polically appropriate winner. On the positive side, since a certain religious group is out, we are spared the crowning of Elana Kagan! However, Michelle Obama is a shoo-in.
“I feel that the results of the beauty contest are a perfect symbol of current affairs.” When you have a single gender male judge,(who isn’t biologically supposed to be interested in females) asking political questions of only selected contestants (and not getting booed, but her answer did) and a pole dancer wins the position of representing America’s single women to the the world. I have to agree with Mr. McNeil. I sure am proud of Miss Oklahoma though. She slapped their faces but good.
[The question was booed, not her answer, which was given without flinching.]
I have to say I was quite impressed Oklahoma used the concept of state’s rights in an appropriate context. She even went the extra mile at the very end of her answer to appear even-handed with the “against profiling” bit.
Meanwhile PoleDancer is regaling us with her encyclopedic knowledge of “controlled substances” and how expensive birth control is. Using vague words and phrases which have no application to a given circumstance in order to give the appearance of clever? She’s ripping off Obama! Here’s hoping Ms. Fakih does the world a favor and stays on the OC pills permanently, inshallah.
Note: what do people think insurance is exactly? Because the concept of pooling risk seems surprisingly foreign to people.

I take it you are a man. That woman is probably (I wouldn’t know) “sexy”. If I, as a foreigner, get the idea behind American beauty pageants (which I detest) right, the physical beauty judged there is meant to appeal to the male and the female eye and the girls are theoretically supposed to have some “class”. (Maybe they really had, forty or fifty years ago.) The newly-crowned Miss USA can be described by three epithets: vulgar, vulgar and vulgar. No doubt that appeals to many men, but as long as we are talking about beauty queens and not porn queens, your question is pointless.
Few women are fortunate enough to have an uncommon combination of intelligence, and beauty, that the owner of this blog is gifted with.
[It feels wrong to let this by, but thanks. Age is not on her side, though.]
“[The question was booed, not her answer, which was given without flinching.] My mistake, I reviewed two video copies of the question in my library, both copies were silent between his question and her answer (Or my hearing is gone); However, closer listening to the video’s appeared to me that the crowd approved of her answer. I saw a copy of the Fox interview with Miss Oklahoma, she appeared to be intelligent and gracious.
Note. You let insults toward you pass by, why not Williams compliment.
Pretty sure Oscar Nunez is not gay, and only plays a gay character on TV. Just so you know
I have to say this post made my day!!
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder
But:its politics and porn all the way these days! For sure!
I think beauty is wonderful: but here in Africa : you can imagine the political pitfalls and politically correct: HUGE problems in trying to choose…
Muslims are not supposed to uncover though…so this must be a sacrifice on her part?
Inshallah:Hezbollah must be praying in droves for her. She should not venture to the in mid-east physically! she could be stoned
Or a gay male Muslim in a muslin gown.
