in addition being Lebanese American, Miss USA Rima Fakih’s loved ones are Shiite Muslims. Muslim women are prohibited from baring anyplace close to this a lot skin, and must not be caught in provocative poses.

Miss USA Rima Fakih, nonetheless, was quoted as saying that despite the fact that, yes, her loved ones are Shiite Muslim, they do celebrate both the Muslim and Christian faiths; and this makes the photo acceptable to them.

I do hope that her photos don’t trigger any type of scandal for newly crowned Miss USA Rima Fakih. It looks that lately any time a beauty pageant crowns a winner, the controversy starts surfacing within hours of her coronation.
