Rima Fakih Favors Obama Approach to Ground Zero


Rima Fakih, the first Muslim Miss USA, Opposes "Ground Zero mosque."

Has the extremist Imam Rauf placed a fatwa on her head yet? How about D. Con? Has the thug El-Gamal threatened her like he threatened Raheel Raza?

Rima Fakih, Muslim Miss USA, Questions 'Ground Zero Mosque' Location Puffington Ho (hat tip win)

Rima Fakih, the first Muslim Miss USA, has come out against the location of the so-called "Ground Zero mosque."

Fakih, whose faith caused a bit of an uproar when she was first crowned, told Inside Edition on Monday that while she concurs with President Obama on the need for the protection of religious freedom, she also feels that the placement of the Park51 center is a little too close for comfort.

"I totally agree with President Obama with the statement on Constitutional rights of freedom of religion," Fakih tells the show. "I also agree that it shouldn't be so close to the World Trade Center. We should be more concerned with the tragedy than religion."
