Rima Fakih was crowned in 2010 as the winner of the year’s Miss USA.
The ex-beauty Queen converted last month in preparation for her marriage in Lebanon which is scheduled to hold next week.
Describing herself to news site Albawaba, the ex-beauty Queen said: “I’d like to say I’m American first, and I am an Arab-American, I am Lebanese-American, and I am Muslim-American.”
She continued: “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,”
