LATEST LIBERAL LIE: Statue of Liberty is Modeled After Cloaked Muslim Woman
Gateway Pundit ^ | 2/5/17 | Jim Hoft

Posted on 02/05/2017 9:19:11 AM PST by markomalley

Ten days ago President Trump announced a temporary ban on refugees from seven terror states.
The temporary block included travelers from Syria, Iraq, Iran, Libya, Yemen, Sudan and Somalia.

Liberals called this a “Muslim ban.”

The largest Muslim countries in the world were not included in the travel ban.

Now this…
The liberal media is now rewriting history to claim Trump’s temporary ban is anti-American because the Statue of Liberty was based on a Muslim woman!

CBS and Yahoo carried this insane story.

Wow!

Now the truth…
The Statue of Liberty was based on the Roman goddess Libertas.
Notice the similarity?

And notice that she is not covering her face or head?

The Statue of Liberty was NEVER based on a Muslim figure.
Only a crazy liberal would suggest such nonsense.

Honestly, they aren’t even thinking about the future repercussions of the stupid sh!t they propose and put forth as arguments to justify why we should continue letting them and their leaders oppress us.

I firmly believe that there isn’t one liberal alive today that can think about anything but their current timeline future in the limited span of intelligence and forethought they have. They don’t care about suffering that hasn’t been used to further their own ends, they don’t care about suffering they can’t co-opt somehow into power, and they damned well don’t think or care about their progeny.

The internally, subconsciously believe that all life begins and ends with their feelings and they have absolutely no consideration or care about what comes afterward.

Sari wrong number. Don’t curry favor with those who favor curry.

Just like Obama and liberals claiming Muslims were part of the “fabric” of our country and played a role in the founding of the country.😳 It will not be long before history school books reflect this deranged thinking.

The media was silent when he said that, no one dared asked him how.

Even if this assertion is true, so what? Because a French sculptor designed — and a French engineer built — a monument for the United States as a gift, and we accepted the gift and made it into a national monument, and that sculptor used as a model a Muslim woman... what? The United States is an Islamic country? We need to accept millions of Muslim immigrants, a fairly high percentage of which will someday decide to murder as many non-Muslim Americans as they can possibly murder before they are brought to ground?

This is the same line of reasoning that the Government-is-God people (like Obama and Lizzy Warren, among many others) use to justify their demand that everyone American who has ever accomplished anything owes it all to the Government. "You didn't build that."

FAKE news…but Ohio State will no doubt add this lie to their course celebrating all the Muslim contributions to the USA in their version of FAKE history.

So, wait. So, now subjugating women and treating them as second class citizens whose only purpose on earth is to make dinner and babies is a GOOD thing?

Isnt' that what Libturds have been accusing Conservatives of for decades?

I always thought she was dressed like a Grecian woman, and the artist uses his mother-in-law as the model for the face.

OK, apparently wrong on both counts. After reading the Wiki, I see she's based on the ROMAN Goddess, Libertas, and it's a rumor about the mother-in-law being the mode.

Oh, well, makes for a good story.

The idea that a statue would be based on a Muslim is incredibly ignorant and would or should be offensive to Muslims. Statuary is anathema to their religion. In theory they oppose any representation of the human form as idolatry, but a statue? Of a woman? This level of stupid should hurt.

Did you know that Little House on the Prarie was really a little MOSQUE? No one talks about Pa always taking his prayer rug out to the barn. And did you notice their farm has NO PIGS? Hmmm?

no, its more like they have common enemies and want the muslims to do their dirty work for them, thinking both sides will take each other out and they will be left standing safe.

Why not? Their so-called prophet claimed he was a descendent of Ishmael and Abraham. All Caliphates after him also make that same claim as does Baghdadi.

Did you know that the Liberty Bell was designed from an Arabian Lute? Did you know Stars and Stripes Forever was originally an Egyptian drinking song?
