The Little Mermaid statue in Denmark's capital was found draped in a Muslim dress and head scarf Sunday morning.
Police removed the clothing after a telephone caller reported it, spokesman Jorgen Thomsen said.
The statue sculpted in tribute to author Hans Christian Andersen draws about 1 million visitors a year and is targeted occasionally by vandals. On Tuesday, the statue's face, left arm and lap were found doused with red paint.
In 2004, someone put a burqa, the head-to-toe Islamic robe, on the statue, along with a sign questioning Turkey's bid to join the European Union.

I suppose they should be grateful that she wasn’t stoned or otherwise destroyed in an “honor killing”.

When Denmark becomes a majority Muslim country, what will happen to things like this statue?

I guess we ought to be glad that Islam’s European 5th column didn’t cut off the Mermaid’s head.

Does anyone remember many years ago when she had had her head sawed off?

along with a sign questioning Turkey's bid to join the European Union. You can spell crAP without AP.
Was the sign in favor of Turkey's bid or opposed to it? Was the burka put on by Muslims who didn't like that the statue was topless, or by Danes who were protesting the Muslims?
The press can avoid the point of a story entirely.

I think Denmark has stopped all Muslim immigration and may be deporting them. So, I don’t think they will become a majority Muslim country.

She was beheaded once. I don't remember the details, just remember reading about it.

March 1, 2001: Taliban Blow Up Giant Buddha Statues, Disregard International Opinion
Destruction of the Buddhas of Bamiyan. [Source: CNN]The Taliban begins blowing up two giant stone Buddhas of Bamiyan (ancient statues carved into an Afghan mountainside, which are considered priceless treasures).
They face great international condemnation in response, but no longer seem to be courting international recognition. Apparently, even ISI efforts to dissuade them fail.

No, but I think that Clinton stated once that he’d date her.
