Dearborn Muslims Are Erecting a Statue of Helen Thomas [WARNING: Hideous Images]

Just as no good deed goes unpunished, no act of evil remains unrewarded for long — much less a whole career of evil that reached its crescendo with a denunciation of Jews so tasteless that not even the liberal establishment media could stomach it. This is why the Muslim colonists infesting Dearbornistan are erecting a statue of Helen Thomas.

The Dearborn-based Arab American National Museum has launched an online fund-raiser at www.kickstarter.com to get $10,000 to finish a sculpture of Thomas, 89, who was born to immigrants from Lebanon. … The total cost of the statue is $25,000-$30,000, said Anan Ameri, the museum's director.
I'd be surprised if taxes aren't making up most of the difference. No problem, Michigan is flush with cash these days.

Thomas will be best remembered for demanding (at a Jewish heritage celebration) that Jews "get the hell out" of their homeland and relocate to Germany and Poland, where not long ago they were butchered by the millions.

I was thinking that Islam prohibited statues of famous people. But I found a web site where this question was discussed, and came across this quote from one of the Islamic experts:

“Statues and drawings which are neither worshipped nor revered are permissible, even if there is no legitimate need for them.”

I would say the statue of HT falls in that category.

"What the he77 is that, a steaming pile?"

It's a monument to spending other people's money.

Here's the story. Some years back, the city council of San Jose became annoyed that San Francisco, the less-populous but more stylish neighbor to the north, had had enough time as the arts-and-culture leader of the Bay Area. Time for San Jose to stake a claim to some culture, too! So they commissioned a big-deal sculptor (husband of actress Angelica Huston, IIRC) to devise a monument to the city's wonderfulness, for only $500,000. Now, this guy had a bit of Reputation as an Artiste and prima donna, and landing him with the commission was regarded as something of a coup, as it certified the city's ascension into places which must be taken seriously, culture-wise.

Well. The Artiste labored and brought forth his design to the Council. Council took a look at it, murmured among themselves, walked around it from various angles, and so on. Artiste found himself growing irate at the presumptions of these bumpkins from nowhere, but half-a-million-bucks back in those days was quite the chunk of change even for an Artiste married to a bigtime actress. Ultimately the Council rendered their verdict: Meh, not so much, not quite our cup of tea. Artiste thundered and stomped. Artiste flapped his arms and bellowed. Artiste headed for the door. And the Council, panicked, lured him back with promises that his next entry would suffer no such editorial input, that it would be accepted, blank-check-style.

And so the Artiste's eyes narrowed and a thin smile appeared on his lips. He went back, labored anew, and voila! centered his creative energies on composing a monument to the City which not only expressed his regard for the Council but honored the Hispanic ethnic heritage of the region.

A serpent. A bearded serpent from Mayan lore. Or maybe it was Inca. Or something. He smoothly assured the council it was historical and significant.

And it was coiled. From one angle, you can see its face. From others... just its coiled form.

And I'm sure his eyes glittered with a clear message: Take that, you free-spending nonentities!

And so the City had no choice but to accept his half-million-dollar steaming pile of a brown-painted plaster snake, poised to strike as though freshly dropped from the bowels of Montezuma himself, or at least Montezuma's schnauzer. They placed it in its designated spot at a major intersection on a corner of a park in the center of the city, and tried to forget about it.

Years passed. It's an eyesore and a laughingstock, but every time subsequent Councils have tried to remove it, the local Hispanic caucus roars into outrage, and they back down. Every time someone attacks it with a hammer or a car jumps the curb and pokes a hole in it, they have to pay to restore it.

It's a monument, all right. I just love that thing.

You live in San Josie? We used to be sorta neighbors when Hubby and I lived in Benicia 1997-2005. Probably saw you at the Garlic Festival.

That’s why they’re seeking donations to finish the statue. Those swastikas are hard to sculpt.

I spend a fair amount of time in Dearborn and find many positive contributions from the Islamic community..

Didn't you love how they celebrated in the streets immediately after the 9-11 attacks.

What a heart warming example of community relations!

Parts of Detroit have high concentrations of Poles, but they don’t call it “Detroitski.” Even with all the setbacks, life is still good in SE Michigan with abundant fresh water and a low cost of living.

Do the Poles murder apostates who leave Catholicism? When did you last hear of a Pole commit an "Honor Killing" because he believed his daughter behaved shamefully?

After a trip to Spain, my late brother remarked to me that if he ever left California, he would love to live there.

but they have no problem with landscaping and the food /restaurants are great even if they just want ones money and will put on a fake face for that person

ARF

It’s like those who say they know a homosexual and they have no problem because they’re nice, well of course they’re nice they want your support like these muslims want your money.

Some of us just doesn’t fall for the fake smiles

Let's see some city councils boycott the antisemites in Dearborn then.

Couldn't it at least have been a statue of Danny Thomas or Dick Dale?

I would not be terribly surprised if one fine morning they found a human heart in the jaws of that statue of a defunct god.

Maybe the surrounding communities could get together and put up statues of the three women you showcased... a ‘true’ face of radical islam. Of course - Helen is also a 'true' face of radical islam...
