Statue of Liberty as a Muslim? Painting in Rep. Lou Correa’s office sparks complaints
Orange County Register ^ | August 4, 2017 | Martin Wisckol

Posted on 08/05/2017 9:58:30 AM PDT by EveningStar

A student painting that depicts the Statue of Liberty wearing a Muslim hijab, displayed in congressman Lou Correa’s Santa Ana office, is being attacked as an unpatriotic violation of the separation of church and state by members of We the People Rising, a Claremont-based activist group that advocates stricter enforcement of immigration laws.

The group, including several Orange County participants, has asked without success that Correa remove the painting hanging with other finalists from the Democratic congressman’s student art competition.

Because of the complaint, Correa said he asked the House Office of Legislative Counsel for advice and was told there was no legal issue. That has not appeased the activists, who are tentatively planning a Sept. 11 protest at Correa’s district office.

Liberty? Not under Islam.

From: Bill Warner, PHD

https://www.politicalislam.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/PDF-Look-Inside/Sharia_Non-Muslim_look_inside.pdf

Under Sharia law:
• There is no freedom of religion
• There is no freedom of speech
• There is no freedom of thought
• There is no freedom of artistic expression
• There is no freedom of the press
• There is no equality of peoples—a non-Muslim, a Kafir, is never
equal to a Muslim
• There is no equal protection under Sharia for different classes of
people. Justice is dualistic, with one set of laws for Muslim males
and different laws for women and non-Muslims.
• There are no equal rights for women
• Women can be beaten
• A non-Muslim cannot bear arms
• There is no democracy, since democracy means that a non-Muslim
is equal to a Muslim
• Our Constitution is a man-made document of ignorance, jahiliyah,
that must submit to Sharia
• Non-Muslims are dhimmis, second-class subjects
• All governments must be ruled by Sharia law
• Unlike common law, Sharia is not interpretive, nor can it be
changed
• There is no Golden Rule

Yes, the formerly “Conservative” Orange County has devolved into this. I know, I have lived here for the past 30+ Years.

Maybe we could give Cellini’s statue of Perseus holding the head of Medusa a sex change, then put him/her in a hajib.

We agree 100% on these facts and they are facts!

We just got thru with that America Hating, Mooselimb, Imposter Obama and now this guy has this in his office and it makes me want to puke! His last name indicates he is either a Mexican or American of Mexican descent and he could have converted to that perverted religion of the Mooselimbs.

My solution to California is to make the Cities of Los Angeles and San Francisco a city state with a high wall around it kinda like Monte Carlo and similar city states.

This would make everyone happy.

Not most districts. I have lived here, for the last 60+ years.

(It is about 37% Hispanic, like California and Texas)

True. In 2016 OC voted for a Democrat for President for the first time in eighty years.

However, please note that this Congressman is a Democrat.

So on 9/11 he’s going to defend a picture of a Muslim statue of liberty holding the torch like a baseball bat.

Nice going.

Take that picture, add a suicide belt of dynamite sticks connected to a fuse reaching to the flame on the torch, and see how quickly the authorities respond to demands for its removal.
