A Statue of Muhammad on a New York Courthouse, Taken Down Years Ago

Wow. This is the first I have heard this story.

...in 1955, when the statue was finally removed out of deference to Muslims, to whom depictions of the prophet are an affront.

(For the same reason, The New York Times has chosen not to publish photographs of the statue with this article.)

The New York Slimes - proudly choosing to side with America's enemies since 1851.

Muslims used to depict him all the time.

They liked to depict him surrounded by fire. Very appropriate. Especially is contrast to Christ and water allusions.

You know what gets me about Mudslimes, is they freak out and kill if a picture of the King pedophle Mo-ham-mud is shown, but they got no problem naming 90% of Mudslime males “Mohammud”. So isn’t that impersonation? Meaning we got billions of Mudslimes walking around portraying the pedophile King? And if their photo is taken then they are displaying a picture of the King Pedo now different from a freakin’ statue or painting or cartoon.

Nice sword.

My son and I had to laugh when the local radio station reported a one vehicle crash (no injuries): “...driver 19 yr old Abdul Mohammed & his 22 yr old passenger Mohammed Mohammed” How many Mohammeds can they fit in one car?

Cue CAIR demands it be restored.

NYT on schedule!

This issue should have never been brought to light, now the muzzie bastards will want the statue replaced under the equal right provision. I would destroy that statue once and for all if it still exists.

FWIW, the US Supreme Court, in the The North Wall Frieze, still has a portrait of Mo, among other great lawgivers.

Muslims are opposed to the statue, not in favor of it.

[FreeAtlanta]

Picture of that murderous, drugged out psychotic child rapist is an affront to me too.

Finally, something I can agree with Muslims over.

[MeshugeMikey]

allegedly there were "outside forces at work behind the removal .

"In 1955, a statue of Muhammad was removed from a courthouse in New York City after the ambassadors of Indonesia, Pakistan, and Egypt requested its removal."



goodbye mohammad

Was he fornicating a goat ?

[davius]

How do you separate the men from the boys in Mecca?

With a crowbar...ba dum dum

[eartick]

Quiet, CAIR and other goat humping lovers are going to want us to pay to put it back up.

And of course it will have to be twice the size.
