The winner was Fatma Ben Guefrache, a 25-year-old Tunisian… She won a gold watch, a gold dinar, and a visit to Mecca.

“May almighty Allah help me in my mission and free [Nazi] Palestine [so they can kill Jews]. Please, please free Palestine and the Syrian people,” Fatma said with tears in her eyes.
