24-year-old Miss Michigan Rima Fakih has become the first Arab and Muslim American to win the Miss USA title.
Born in Lebanon, Rima Fakih emigrated to the USA with her parents when she was a baby. She attended a Catholic school in New York before her family moved to Dearborn, Michigan, in 2003.
Fakih told pageant judges that her family celebrates both the Christian and the Muslim faiths. In her interview, she said she believed birth control should be paid for by health insurance.
The new Miss USA told reporters later that she believed she had won after glancing at pageant owner Trump as she awaited the results with the first runner-up, Miss Oklahoma USA Morgan Elizabeth Woolard.
"That's the same look that he gives them when he says, 'You're hired,'" on Trump's reality show "The Apprentice," she said as quoted by ABC News.
21-year old Alyssa Campanella, a California model and "history geek", has won the Miss USA crown and will represent her country at the Miss Universe contest in Sao Paolo, Brazil, on September 12.
After weeks of shying away from this subject, US President Barack Obama has expressed support for the plans to build a mosque and a Muslim center close to the World Trade Center site in Manhattan.
