Miss USA 2010 winner is a Muslim

[Fujiko]

Cute <3. Shouldn't have to matter what her faith is. Good for her.

Edit:

Sorta weird that she felt that she had to mention that they celebrate Christian holidays too. :/

Maybe not so weird, sweet' :

""We don't take sides and this is strange in a country like Lebanon," Rana Fakih said, referring to the civil war that was mainly between Muslims and Christians."

I guess what she means is in spite of her having lived in a place where there was war between Muslims and Christians and both groups mostly kept to themselves, her family (among others, I'm sure) still celebrated Christian holidays. Many Muslims in e.g. Europe who're born and/or raised in a country/society/place where there are celebrations or hints of Christian holidays, become a part of that culture and celebrate it even though it's not as significant in (or has little to do with) their own faith. Many non-Christians celebrate Christmas, so it shouldn't be any more strange someone with another faith celebrates it. Personally, it's even less strange for a Muslim to, for instance, celebrate Christmas, since Muslims acknowledge and respect Jesus. Also, I can personally speak for many Muslims who live in Sweden, that were born and raised there, that they celebrate Christian holidays (even though they're Muslim).
