Oh pleez! Shut reaching into the middle ages! Just look in today's news! Christians aren't doing HONOR KILLINGS! Muslims are!! If you gotta reach back into the middle ages, that's pretty good. I can turn on the tv TODAY and find some poor Muslim girl beat down for showing some ankle.

Why do people like you always see it as your duty to defend Muslim hate crimes with some warped "equivalency" arguement?? r

Makes sense. Maybe a ghost does not compute time as we do. Regardless
it should be factored in.
Poor Muslim women , theres no end to the stories. Iv'e noticed them checking me out, lately as well. Very interesting stuff. You gotta kind of
catch the girl or women checking you out , and then she looks away faster than , what was that rabbit on bugs bunny, oh ya ...the road runner.
I wonder what the ghost man, er.... Einsteinsghost may introduce next.

Miss USA Hailed by Lebanese Hometown -- But No Love From Hezbollah
Newly-crowned Miss USA Rima Fakih may be the pride and joy of her native Lebanese village, but the 24-year-old beauty contestant is far less popular among some leaders in the Middle East.


Newly-crowned Miss USA Rima Fakih may be the pride and joy of her native Lebanese village, but the 24-year-old beauty contestant is far less popular among some leaders in the Middle East.
In an interview Tuesday with Lebanese television, Hezbollah official Hassan Fadlallah reportedly had few glowing words to describe Fakih, who became the first Muslim American on Sunday to secure the crown.
"The criteria through which we evaluate women are different from those of the west," Fadlallah told the television station, AFP reported.


Fakih emigrated from Lebanon to the U.S. when she was seven years old.
In her hometowntown of Srifa, which is largely ruled by the Shiite militant group, residents have reportedly hailed Fakih as an "honor" to the region.
"She is an honor to us, a honor to all of southern Lebanon," her aunt Afifa Fakih told AFP.
"We are so often described as terrorists and killers, but we Shiites love life and beauty -- and mainly the beauty of the soul, which is what is so special about Rima," the aunt reportedly said.

You're right. I go to school in Dearborn, Michigan. I hear a lot of the Muslim community doesn't like this....

I'll leave it at that.

OUCH! So much for the religion of peace. If she ended up a victim of an Honor Killing, I guarantee you the media will fall all over itself trying not mention Islam.

I think she should have to parade around naked for the entire time she holds the crown. That's suitable punishment for her.

For starters, she didn't actually strip. Furthermore, what she wore in the "scandalous" pictures was less was less racy than the official Miss USA photo itself and exposed far less skin than the bikinis they prance around in onstage at the pageant. So what exactly is the "scandal" here?

Drover, don't you know??? Because, they choose her. Not a sweet innocent black or white woman. A "lebanese" woman. Whatever!

She's gonna dismantle his crown and build a bomb or something.
