of American news show Inside Edition.

"I totally agree with President Obama with the statement on the
constitutional rights of freedom of religion," she said. However, she advised
the
mosques planners to consider the feelings of those who lost loved ones on
9\11.
"It shouldn't be so close to the World Trade Center. We should be more
concerned with the tragedy than religion," said Fakih.
Fakih was interviewed while preparing for the Miss Universe pageant in Las
Vegas, which takes place on Monday night.
