Is America's Statue of Liberty modelled on a Muslim Arab woman? These historians certainly think so!

“This news is of significance...”

Uh, no it’s not.

As an illustrious former Secretary of State and twice-baked presidential candidate once said...”What difference, at this point, does it make?”

[LostPassword]

I’m convinced. France gave us a statue based on a Muslim woman so SHARIA for the U.S. /sarc

The fact is that most of these articles are some group like CAIR manipulating the media in the advancement of sharia in the US. They don’t want acceptance of the Muslim religion. They want the full Islamic society to be integrated into the US and eventually take it over.

The statue is not the point. It’s the statement “yearning to be free”. It doesn’t say “and those who hate us and want to cut off our heads and force all to be Muslims”.

[Defiant]

I don’t see a mustache on her, so, no.

There’s no such thing as Muslim anatomy. There definitely are beautiful women from the Mid-East and some of them are Muslims. So what?

[Fantasywriter]

She’s based on the Roman goddess Libertas. All the info is here:

Geez. The statue’s face was modeled after that of the sculptor’s (Fredric August Bartholdi) mother. Like him, she was French, and not a Muslim.

Just another case of revisionists trying to say something loud and long enough for it to become the truth.

Nope. Greek goddess Hera is main model. Face possibly of Bartholdi's mother or wife. No way a Muslim woman would have been a statue especially back then. Goddess Hera

I read a recent article showing photos of the stages for construction(in France) and reassembly(in the US) by the artist who created the Statue of Liberty.

Her profile is a dead ringer for Elvis. I kid you not.

Missed this one I guess.

[Red Badger]

I think others have noted that as well.................Maybe Lisa Marie Presley.................

[Sertorius]

So they are trying to say that an Islamic Egypt was planning to allow a statue of a person,forbidden under Islamic faith, to be placed in front of one of the most incredible engineering feats of the earth? I doubt it.

[ConservaTeen]

If she was supposed to be Muslim, the statue would be called 'Terrorists terrorizing the World', the chain would be connected to her feet, the flame would be a sword, the tablet would be a bomb, she would be in a burka and a male would be in front of her.

So in my opinion, she isn't....

[ConservaTeen]

Or a lesbian

[heartwood]

I had always read the model for Liberty was Bartholdi`s mother.

[Salamander]

Yeah I saw that but without a Hitler mustache it’s just not quite enough hyperbole for me.

You can tell the religion of a woman by her attire....yeah, if her face is covered by a burqua....
