Inside the walls of the U.S. Supreme Court, perched above the press seating area is the North Wall frieze dedicated to the “great lawgivers of law” to portray the development of law throughout history – and one of the figures immortalised is the prophet Muhammad. A frieze built between 1931 and 1932 in time for the buildings grand opening in 1935.

Even Cair wants to take this one down, a statute of a slave owner and woman's right abuser,, So where is the media calling for its removal, seems like a no brainer in light of calls on other statues.

what? put up 50 years after the Civil War? It was obviously an intimidation tactic against civil rights. Throw a burka black shroud over it! /s

YUCK!

Remind Antifa that a lot of blacks and other minorities were murdered on 9/11 by Islamic terrorists...racists inspired by their leader Mohammad...

will the statues come down ???

Why haven’t the muslems been up in arms about this totally unauthorized caricature of their most holy profit? Piss be upon them all.

SCOTUS gives this lame excuse for blaspheming the profit on their website...

Courtroom Friezes: South and North Walls

Muhammad (c. 570 - 632) The Prophet of Islam. He is depicted holdi ng the Qur’an. The Qur’an provides the primary source of Islamic Law. Prophet Muhammad’s teachings explain and im plement Qur’anic principles. The figure above is a well- intentioned attempt by the sculptor, Adolph Weinman, to honor Muhammad and it bears no resemblance to Muhammad. Muslims generally have a strong aversion to sculptured or pictured representations of their Prophet.

And how, pray tell, do we have the slightest idea of what Muhammad looked like?

[Noob1999]

Adolph Weinman??

A jew with a chisel depicting the great Mo?

Priceless!

[TigersEye]

I don’t know but the Charlie Hebdo cartoonists should have used that excuse.

Obama is not a terrorist for not calling out terrorists. Obama is a terrorist for giving material aid to terrorist regimes.

[COBOL2Java]

You miss his point.

[Dick Bachert]

That ACME 5000 Super Sandblaster is MORE than up to the challenge!!

[boycott]

Wow. A statue to a child molester and a mass murderer. Nice.

And a SLAVE owner. It needs to be removed.

[LegendHasIt]

But I thought it was blasphemy to make an image of ‘The Prophet”!!!?!?!?!!

“But I thought it was blasphemy to make an image of ‘The Prophet”!!!?!?!?!!”

Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

Antifa, BLM, and the Muslim Brotherhood (CAIR) might hear, and cause a riot and demand that the building be torn down.

That would really put on display their treachery and Anti-American sentiments.

[Ambrosia]

The right needs to insist it come down due to 9/11...

[Uncle Sam 911]

I guess the ACLU is preparing a law suit as we sit here to get Muhammed out of the building!!!!!!!!!
