The first Muslim to win the Miss USA competition was Rima Fakih and she was crowned the winner in 2010. Now she has converted to Christianity.She converted last month in preparation for her marriage in Lebanon next week .
“I’d like to say I’m American first, and I am an Arab-American, I am Lebanese-American, and I am Muslim-American.” According to the news site Albawaba, Fakih only connected to her Muslim roots in college.
“When I went to the University of Michigan, because there’s more of a Muslim community, my dad wanted me to learn more about Islam,” she said. “I didn’t know much about Ramadan and other holidays, and my dad wanted me to take that opportunity and learn.”
Rima Fakih is a Lebanese-American actress, model, professional wrestler and beauty pageant titleholder who won Miss USA 2010. She represented the state of Michigan in the national pageant, having previously won the 2010 Miss Michigan USA pageant.

OF WHAT RELEVANCE IS THIS NEWS TO OUR PROBLEMS AS NIGERIANS? HOW DOES THIS NEWS PUT FOOD ON THE TABLES OF INNOCENT STARVING NIGERIAN CHILDREN? HOW DOES THIS NEWS CREATE JOBS FOR UNEMPLOYED NIGERIAN GRADUATES? HOW DOES THIS NEWS STOP THE MASS KILLINGS, KIDNAPPINGS, HUGE CORRUPTION WE FACE IN NIGERIA DAY IN DAY OUT?
THIS NEWS IS OF NO RELEVANCE TO OUR EXISTENCE AS NIGERIANS. WE HAVE A LOT OF PROBLEMS TO DEAL WITH IN NIGERIA THAN THIS BASELESS NEWS. LEAVE THIS WESTERN PEOPLE ALONE LET THEM DEAL WITH THEIR PROBLEMS. LET'S TRY AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE TO STAY WITHIN THE CONTEXT OF THE CRITICAL ISSUES FACING US AND ASK GOD TO GIVE US THE STRENGTH AND GRACE TO FIND SOLUTIONS TO OUR PROBLEMS. I LOVE MY COUNTRY NIGERIA.

okay, right, and any christian can convert to islam, there should be freedom to choose a religion, unlike islam that seeks the death of any muslim that convert to christianity. why some people lack understanding is apparent.
