In related news, a team of researchers at the Smithsonian have uncovered incontrovertible evidence that the ‘Mona Lisa’, painted by Leonardo Da Vinci in 1506, was originally a sketch for a helicopter design.
The researchers discovered the helicopter sketches in Da Vinci’s notebooks and were stunned to find that the were drawn before the creation of the masterful ‘Mona Lisa’, and must therefore have been the original model for the iconic painting.

Of course, the imams are not gagging Lady Liberty. It's our own fear of giving offense that shuts us up.

Next up ... Christopher Columbus was really a muslim. Therefore America belongs to Islam.

Wikipedia page about
Statue of Liberty references Colossus of Rhodes as inspiration to a protect that Frederic Auguste Bartholdi had considered but evidently did not follow through with.
Also description on page about Statue of Liberty design indicates considerations unrelated to Muslim woman. In fact, Muslim not found on page. Corrections welcome.

It already says huddled masses so it has always been an icon of illegal immigration. Doesn’t make any difference who the lady is.

France is always portrayed as a woman, as is the USA
*********************************************************
As are most other countries. Two notable exceptions are Germany (The Fatherland) and Israel, Named for Israel the man.
Probably others, I just can’t think of any right now.

Smithsonian Institute has long been drinking the leftist coolaid. Weâve had a gift subscription to their magazine for decades and read it for amusement only. Lucky you, I have a gift subscription for Smithsonian magazine and National Geographic.

drew inspiration from monuments in Egypt The last I heard the ancient Egyptians were not Muslim nor Arab. Why does this man (not you clearcase) write such such drivel?

y\Yes, and they would have set up a statue of a veiled peasant woman in the New York Harbor. This must be part of the Obama theme of Islam woven into the fabric of America from the beginning.

Excellent point. The Muslim “religion” is obviously more recent than Ancient Egypt, but I hadn’t thought about the “Arab” part. The Arab people are simply any people who use Arabic as their primary language. Clearly, the Ancient Egyptians were not Arabs. Good catch.

Groan— We had a gift subscription to National Geo and then it was replaced by the gift subscription to Smithsonian. So it’s been a long, long almost half century—
