As you all know, heard, seen on TV, newspapers, facebook, twitter, every where actually, the new Miss USA is an Arab-American, more specifically a Lebanese Muslim. My Lebanese friends, in particular, and my Arab friends in general, started forwarding this piece of news to all their BB contacts, send it via e mail, post different links from different sources on Twitter and Facebook. And to me it didn't matter and I didn't understand why people were making such a big deal. I don't need America to crown a Lebanese in a beauty pageant to prove that Lebanese women are beautiful. So I honestly couldn't care less about this piece of information until I read an article on the leader of a millenarian group who believes this crowning is the sign of the coming Armageddon. The crowned beauty's name is Rima Fakih, and Moulana Fatima Darvishi, the spiritual leader of the Circle of Pious Warriors and Noble Pilgrims, linked her family name Fakih to wilayat al Fakih stating:
"This is the sign that we have been waiting for,” said Ms. Darvishi to a group of assembled followers. “The rise of a faqih to rule over America is a symbol of the justice and righteousness of the Islamic Revolution.
She also stated:
“When this noble faqih ascends from her rulership over the USA to claim her place as ruler of all of God’s creation — as Miss Universe — then that is when the world will be filled with justice, and time will end.”
She would not have it when she was told that it's only a beauty pageant and the Ms. Fakih is not the actual ruler of USA. Darvishi replied:
“There is no point in trying to spread misinformation and propaganda. The current order has fallen! We hereby swear our allegiance to Her Supreme Majesty Rima Faqih and announce our undying loyalty to her magnificent command. We also call upon all heterodox feminist millenarian groups all over the world to join us in our call for a global revolution to prepare the way for Her Supreme Majesty’s eternal reign.” (according to Qifa Nabki)
Debbie Schlussel, a conservative commentator, used Fakih's heritage, a Lebanese Shia, to label her as a terrorist Miss Hezbollah, stating:
"Mark my word. Hezbollah is laughing at us, tonight. One of its auxiliary members won the Miss USA title without having to do a thing to denounce them and their bloody murder of hundreds of Americans". (according to the Guardian
And then it came to me (no, there were no flashing light bulbs, or sudden light and the very holy ahhhhh in the background; I don't remember what the ahhhh is called) that this will not end here. This is not just another beauty pageant. This will cause an uproar in a lot of areas, as proud as people are with this crowning, I don't think they know how it's going to end. I don't think most Americans are pleased with the result, I'm not sure that fascist Muslims will approve of this, and with the above information, I think this is going to be a long ride for the Beautiful Fakih, who by the way has a brilliant sense of humour; when asked how she felt about winning, she told them she'll get back to them after she has a pizza.
