Fact Check: Meet the REAL 1st Arab-American Miss USA; Christians Don’t Count?

By Debbie Schlussel

In the rush to fall all over Miss Hezbollah, the new Shi’ite Muslim Miss USA, Rima Fakih, the mainstream media and their allies are making up a ton of baloney. And showing us how little they think of Christians . . . and how much they are trying to promote Islam.

Christian Arab Julie Hayek Was the 1st Arab-American Miss USA

One of the phony claims repeated throughout the media by gushing idiots eager to promote Fakih is the claim that she’s the first Arab-American and the first Lebanese-American Miss USA. Not that I think these things are important (if you have to constantly identify yourself as a hyphenated American, something’s wrong).

Does anyone do any fact checking at any of these media outlets? Apparently not because the claim is false. In fact, the first Arab-American Miss USA–and the first Lebanese-American Miss USA–was Julie Hayek, a classy Christian woman who didn’t writhe around stripper poles, stumble on her gown three times, and spew nonsense about birth control. Oh, and she put the American part before the Arab one, unlike Fakih.

But, hey, since she’s a Christian Arab, I guess she doesn’t count. After all, Christians don’t count in the Arab and Muslim worlds. And now, we’re embracing that baloney in forgetting Julie Hayek. Here’s her website. Send her an e-mail message to let her know we know whose grace and dignity truly embodies the initials, “USA.” And it isn’t a sleazy Shi’ite Muslim sharmuta who supports Hezbollah and whose bid was funded by an Islamic terrorist and immigration fraud perpetrator. Plus, Miss USA pageant owner, Donald Trump, has expanding business interests in the Middle East (including his hotel and casino in Dubai, which his Jewish daughter Ivanka oversees), so he has a strong interest in pimping the Fakih fraud.
