“The Statue of Liberty is a Muslim Woman”
How does leftist Yanan Wang come to this ludicrous statement, a statement meant to show “remarkable irony” given that the majority of Americans are not interested in taking in Syrian refugees?
In a tortured, convoluted, idiotic post, Wang explains that French artist Frederic Auguste Bartholdi once tried to peddle a massive project to Egypt where a giant statue would be at the entrance of the Suez canal.
Egypt was broke, they said no.
Bartholdi later got involved with an entirely different project, a statue for the New York Harbor, and he modeled the woman after the Roman goddess, Libertas.
So, ipso facto, the Statue of Liberty is a muslim. (????????????????????????????) How is the leap made?
That’s like saying Charlie Brown is based on a Chinese kid because Charles Shultz once tried, and failed, to peddle a cartoon strip called Lychee Nuts. It’s 2 different ideas, independent of one another!
What the hell is wrong with progtards? They have this infuriating ability to create their own realities, despite logic or evidence or common sense. And now you’ll see leftist after leftist repeating this factually incorrect “ironic fact” everywhere you turn.
It’ll be the new “Sarah Palin said she can see Russia from her front porch.”
Gutzon Borglum was commissioned to carve the images of Jefferson Davis, Robert E. Lee, and “Stonewall” Jackson into the north face of Stone Mountain. He abandoned the project in 1925 to begin carving Mount Rushmore.
Therefore, we must not forget that the gigantic granite images of George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Teddy Roosevelt, and (of all people) Abraham Lincoln on Mount Rushmore are actually images of southern Confederate racist KKK-loving bigots.
Same logic.
I followed a link through the comments section somewhere to a Biblical doomsday video. Bored, I watched it. There was a bunch of explanation about Babylon, symbolism and how the prophets used the language available at the time to predict future events.
One topic was about the Statue of Liberty and how she symbolizes a whore, apparently the sexual deviance in this country was caused by the monument. Next the video discussed how 2 kings basically end the world before 2017, one to the north and one to the south. The kings are supposedly Zer0 and Putin fighting over Israel.

If she was a muslim, she would have been stoned to death for showing her face in public.
You need to make a “Fatta al-Bert” photoshop showing what a muslim statue of liberty would look like so I can post it on every leftist idiots post I find.
oh, and she is holding books, so she would have had acid thrown in her face or shot in the skull, so no way she could be a muslim.
Hey, his name IS “Wang.”
The idea of the statue at Suez is true. Bartholdi & Ferdinand de Lesseps were close friends & Bartholdi envisioned a gigantic statue of a goddess holding a torch at the Mediterranean entrance to de Lesseps’ canal. It was supposed to represent “Egypt enlightening the East.”
When the 100th anniversary of the Declaration of independence approached the idea came up to commemorate the friendship between France & America, Bartholdi simply converted his original project for Egypt to a “Statue of Liberty enlightening the world” for New York harbor.
Here’s what the Reader’s Companion to American History has to say about the inspiration for the Statue of Liberty –
“Bartholdi combined elements of the Egyptian pyramids (the pedestal) with his mother’s face to serve as a model for the statue…”
So – no damned Muslim woman no damned way.
