Julie Hayek's Christian Heritage edit

I'm a Hayek. All Hayeks from Lebanon are Christian. Most Lebanese Muslims like to be called Arabs, regardless of whether the claim is true or not. The majority of Lebanese Christians reject being called Arabs due to their pre-Arab Canaanite, Aramaean, Greek, and Armenian heritage. At the end of the Lebanese Civil War, the Saudi-sponsored Taif Agreement Constitution of Lebanon in 1989, which did not have any true Christian representation during its inception, hijacked the identity of Lebanon by declaring all Lebanese as Arabs, both Muslims and Christians alike. This is an imposed label, not a factual one at all. John.hayek (talk) 02:58, 18 May 2010 (UTC)Reply

I am not sure whether it's accurate that her father is Lebanese. I can not find any mentions of her ancestry in the press in 1983, and Hayek is not necessarily a Lebanese surname (i.e. Friedrich von Hayek). The claim itself was added to Wikipedia in June by an anon user. There's a lot of media coverage on her ancestry now, but it all appears to stem from this Wikipedia article.

The USA Today ref. just added states: "Contrary to the widespread reports that Miss USA 1983, Julie Hayek, was of Arab descent on her father's side, Hayek said in an e-mail that her father grew up in Ohio and is half Czech and half German." All Hallow's Wraith (talk) 00:01, 19 May 2010 (UTC)Reply

That supposed 'email' is just a random Internet post. And you CHANGED the article over that???haha I'm going to post a letter there too, saying she's actually from JUPITER. What a bunch of Einsteins! PS And it proves once again how some are willing to run with ANY story that helps their point of view. 68.41.55.171 (talk) 19:34, 19 May 2010 (UTC)Reply

I was going to post this at Talk:Rima Fakih and thought I should here too, a Google New Archive search comes up with no result for '"Julie Hayek" lebanon' [1] or '"Julie Hayek" arab' [2] apart from references to the USO tour she did with Bob Hope. I think we can assume with some confidence that if she was either of those the news media would have picked it up at the time. PageantUpdater talkcontribs 12:00, 19 May 2010 (UTC)Reply
