Miss USA 'Mosque shouldn't be so close' to the World Trade Center (VIDEO) The reigning Miss USA told Inside Edition in an interview conducted while she is preparing to take part in the Miss Universe pageant that while she agreed with President Obama regarding the Constitutional right to 'freedom of religion,' she also thinks 'we should be concerned more with the tragedy than religion.' 

Speaking out boldly, Rima Fakih, 24, the self-proclaimed Muslim-Christian beauty has bravely come out in support of what many Americans believe - that the controversial Ground Zero mosque should not be built so close to the former World Trade Center site where 3,000 people were killed by Islamic extremists.

Lebanon-born Fakih is the first Muslim winner of the Miss USA contest, who also declared that she is a Christian.

Fakih also modeled a sexy outfit she dedicated to President Obama, saying, "Mr. President, the amazing costume I will wear during the Miss Universe pageant represents the celebration of life, liberty and all that is American... a tribute to your work to bring peace to the world."

The barely-there gold lamé outfit is a skimpy interpretation of the American eagle on the presidential seal featuring massive gold wings, and resembles Victoria's Secret stage outfits where the model's where huge angel wings.
"Fly high, President Obama," adds the pageant winner.
Fakih made news after she won the Miss USA contest when pictures of her participating in a pole dancing contest were published. She also says she fasted for Ramadan while preparing for Miss Universe.
She entered the Miss USA contest as Miss Michigan.
Here is a YouTube video of Fakih in a promo for the Miss Universe pageant where they are topless while wearing body paint.
