Who thought up this garbage?

The article making this claim is on the Smithsonian blog, which is simply another leftist media outlet, another case of lefties making common cause with Islamic culture, proving nothing except making a case that they are as ignorant and inbred as those ME muslims.

Do not subscribe to the Smithsonian magazine, unless you enjoy articles which do not cover the subject in the headline; like ‘new school’ writing - where having made a statement of interest, immediately begin writing about some distantly related point before expanding on that point in the last paragraph in the last column in the last few pages; like images of something else other than the subject at hand which is only briefly described; enjoy much sound and fury, but coming away no wiser; having less money in your pocket; losing minutes you can never recover.

Not sure magazine is even good to help start a fire in the fireplace ... I don’t have one so I cannot test that, nor do I have any fish to wrap, and never considered owning a bird. With that glossy paper, if I still lived somewhere with an outhouse, I could not use it there either ...

If Lady Liberty was a Muslim, then that must be a Koran in her left hand.

It is an insult to the holy Koran and the profit Mohammed (piss be upon him) to hold it in the same hand that is used to wipe after eliminating.

But then she is carrying a torch in her right hand which could be used to burn down churches and torture infidels.

Other possibilities...

She has spiked hair, so she might be a punk.

She is green, so she might be a space alien.

Well . . . it was originally meant for Egypt. But no statue in that part of the world is a moslem statue (they don’t build statues).

It would take me a long time to unpack and refute all the nonsense here, so I'll stick to a couple of brief points:

Bartholdi was lobbying for a commission to build a colossus that would stand at the entrance of the Suez Canal, which was nearing completion, and was the object of great French national pride. His models were ancient Roman, Greek and Egyptian statuary. He made several mock-ups of a woman in an Egyptian headdress - she was not veiled and was not intended to represent a Muslim or Islam for the very simple reason that Sunni Islam FORBIDS REPRESENTATIONAL FIGURES.

The stupidity on display is quite remarkable, especially coming from the Smithsonian - the fact that all these lefty lib MSM outlets are running with it over Thanksgiving makes it even more obnoxious.

"inspiration from monuments in Egypt"

Any monunumet in Egypt depicting a woman is going to be pre-Islam.
How stupid can the Smithsonian get?
