Government Historians Admit Statue Of Liberty Was Originally A Muslim Woman.

This is likely to be a little tough to swallow for some Americans but The Statue of Liberty - symbolically welcoming the world's tired, poor, and huddled masses - was originally conceived as a Muslim peasant woman.

As The Hill reports, The Statue of Liberty was originally designed to be a Muslim woman, the Smithsonian Institution's magazine says.

An article on the government-administered museum’s blog, Smart News, claims one of the designers of Lady Liberty drew inspiration from monuments in Egypt and originally intended to construct a veiled female peasant on the Suez Canal.

No, you are incorrect

The a grain of truth to the story is that the meme picked up on the interesting historical footnote that one of the earlier projects of Frédéric Auguste Bartholdi was a large woman holding up a torch and symbolizing Egypt's progress. The giant statue would have been titled, "Egypt or Progress Carrying the Light to Asia".

Since Egypt's ruler had no money, the project went nowhere.

Bartholdi at the time was somewhat obsessed with Ancient Egypt. It was ancient Egypt that interested him rather than Islam. The statue was meant to celebrate Egyptian civilization rather than Islam.

In any case the idea that "Egypt" became the Statue of Liberty is a myth. How do we know that?

Here's what Bartholdi had to say about it, "At that time my Statue of Liberty did not exist, even in my imagination, and the only resemblance between the drawing that I submitted to the Khedive and the statue now in New York's beautiful harbor is that both held a light aloft. Now how is a sculptor to make a statue which is to serve the purpose of a lighthouse without making it hold the light in the air?"

The Statue of Liberty originally functioned as a lighthouse

Came in expecting to read support for this idiots actions. Happy to say I was wrong.

Why would any of us support assaulting a woman, for any reason? There is a religion that is systematically built around the assault and segregation, and dehumanizing of women, in fact so much so that two women equals one mans word. So on both accounts I will exclaim severe prejudice, my tolerance will not become so tolerant that it tolerates intolerance, I hope one day you join me.

Looks like we all agree this guy sucks. In fact, had a stranger approached me and removed ANY of my clothing, I would have considered it assault, and got a warrant for his arrest.

Thanks for that. I'm glad you're right!

For those giving that guy a hard time.

Man created God.

The man created Government.

The hijab is a misogynistic throw back to Neanderthals so to speak.

Why the hell would 'God' want people to cover their faces of all things.

Sure we can blame the serpent in the garden of eden for clothes.

But covering womens' faces ?

Come on now people really gonna sit there and defend that 'right wing' neocon clinging to korans, and religion' nonsense ?

Government Historians Admit Statue Of Liberty Was Originally A Muslim Woman.

Well if that's the case we better treat the SL like naivety scene's, and cross's on public buildings.

Tear down that Statue people!

After ALL we have that 'separation' of church and state.

Except when it comes to all things 'muslim'.

Christians?

Sucks to be them.

North Carolina has been a little odd lately.....me thinks they've been abusing the cough medicine....I know I have!

Why was my question about left wing agitators stealing people's Trump hats deleted?

It's become a common tactic of the left wing Bernie agitators. I haven't seen a shred of outrage from the usual suspects. In fact mentioning gets your comment deleted.
