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

RE: Was Betsy Ross a Muslim?

Don’t worry, They’ll find a way to make her one... Emma Lazarus too :)

Lets see...he originally had Arab woman in Arab garb.

Then her changed the garb, but according to this nonsense didn’t change the Arab woman?

Got it.

Anything they can fabricate to say that Islam had a long and friendly relationship from the beginning of America’s history, when there was really no relationship at all except for Thomas Jefferson making war upon them.

All propaganda, and fake news.

Islam is antithetical to democracy and anyone who tells you different is lying to you or is ignorant of its basic precepts.

Let’s investigate this right after we finish the investigations on whether Cleopatra was black and Abraham Lincoln was gay.

How can any sane person speak of Islam and freedom, positively, in the same sentence?

Whether or not this is true is irrelevant. It is politically useful, so people will believe it or not based on what politically useful for them.

Sorry, I should have said how can any sane person speak of Islam and liberty, positively, in the same sentence?

Rebuffing national security and cracking down on illegal immigration is not “anti-immigrant.”

Lie and lie and lie to fit the narrative. One statue was not repurposed into another. Design 1 falls thru for client X. Design 2 is commissioned for client Y. The two have nothing to do with each other other than that the artist was into big-assed statues (not to be confused with statues with generous sized asses).

The Statue of Liberty is modeled after the Roman goddess Libertas (surprise, surprise); not some peasant.

Next, there will be a Muslim sympathizer who says a Muslim woman was the model for Minnie Mouse.

Still think we should ban Muslims from getting too close to her... as a precaution. ;)
