Statue of Liberty was originally Muslim woman
FEBRUARY 4, 2017, 3:15 PM| One of the most persistent symbols of American life, the Statue of Liberty, began as a Muslim woman. CBSN's Reena Ninan has the backstory on Lady Liberty.

Wrong!!!!!
The statue has NOTHING to do with muslims!
Fake news spread by liberals who are trying to insert muslim culture into US history!!!!!!
"The statue is of a robed female figure representing Libertas, the Roman goddess, who bears a torch and a tabula ansata (a tablet evoking the law) upon which is inscribed the date of the American Declaration of Independence, July 4, 1776. A broken chain lies at her feet. The statue is an icon of freedom and of the United States,...."

From my readings, Bartholdi had a different project slated for the Suez Canal, using an Egyptian woman as a model, but that project fell through.Originally Posted by alismith
Later, he managed to get enough funds together to start a different project for America...which became the Statue of Liberty.
This American Project had nothing to do with the Suez Canal. He modeled the American version after the Roman Goddess, who looks nothing like a Middle Eastern woman. She has Roman facial features, not muslim features.
p.s. The newswoman looks a little Middle Eastern, herself. I wonder if there's an intended link there?....

The New Colossus:

When the Statue of Liberty was completed in 1886, it was a symbol of friendship with France, and a celebration of democracy and the end of American slavery. It wasn’t, however, the symbol of welcome to the world’s tired and “huddled masses” that it is today. How the statue came to be a beacon to new arrivals in the US has to do with the poem inscribed at its base: “The New Colossus,” which was lost to obscurity for decades before claiming its place in the nation’s collective conscious.
But Laboulaye did not include a pedestal in his gift, and the US government struggled to raise funds to mount the new statue. In 1883, New York artists held an auction to raise money for the statue, commissioning poetry for their exhibition catalog. One of their poets was Emma Lazarus, an upperclass Jewish New Yorker.
Lazarus conjured her own myth for the monument: She imagined the statue as a goddess called the Mother of Exiles
The now-famous lines—”Give me your tired, your poor / Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free”—would not become widely known for decades, until a series of historical events made its message necessary: In the 1920s, the US passed quota laws that restricted immigrants based on nationality. By the 1930s, the number of immigrants arriving in the US had fallen dramatically

Although today the poem is calcified in our political imagination, Lazarus’s sonnet should be recognized as a progressive poem that radically refigures Bartholdi’s vision. - See more at: http://historynewsnetwork.org/articl...T.dpufAlthough today the poem is calcified in our political imagination, Lazarus’s sonnet should be recognized as a progressive poem that radically refigures Bartholdi’s vision. - See more at: http://historynewsnetwork.org/articl...T.dpufAlthough today the poem is calcified in our political imagination, Lazarus’s sonnet should be recognized as a progressive poem that radically refigures Bartholdi’s vision - See more at: http://historynewsnetwork.org/articl...nDT.dpufRather than Bartholdi’s vision that his statue represents “liberty,” Lazarus’s poem reworks the statue’s meaning. Not only does Lazarus refuse to use the word “liberty” in her poem, but what is more, Lazarus even refuses to use the name bestowed by Bartholdi, “The Statue of Liberty Enlightening the World.” Instead, Lazarus gives the statue a new name and a new meaning: “Mother of Exiles.” - See more at: http://historynewsnetwork.org/articl...T.dpufAlthough today the poem is calcified in our political imagination, Lazarus's sonnet should be recognized as a progressive poem that radically refigures Bartholdi's vision
In fact, in 1882, while the Statue of Liberty was being built, the first federal immigration law was enacted which prohibited a specific ethnic group from entering and becoming citizens: The Chinese Exclusion Act.

Lazarus was neither a Founding Father nor a towering figure in American history. Her words have never been law and her poem is not attached to the Constitution. It’s simply the expression of one 19th century socialist. The poem wasn’t even placed on the Statue of Liberty when the monument was unveiled in 1886, which of course was a gift from France to the United States.
The idea that Lazarus’s poem is somehow equivalent to the Constitution, the Declaration or the writings of the Founders is ridiculous. Nor has American migration resembled the picture Lazarus describes in her writing.

Interesting.
IIRC, the history lesson I was taught 40+ years ago said that Bartholdi's WIFE had modeled for at least some of the SoL.

I read the statue was based upon an ancient Babylonian goddess demon, as Babylon was a haven for immigrants and trafficked in every kind of sin from all over the world, much as the US does today. Even the hairpiece is similar to the demon's.
"And how we burned in the camps later thinking, what would things have been like, if every security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain, whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family?"
The headpiece is a crown (I'm guessing most Roman Gods and Goddesses wore crowns, at least to formal affairs). according to my reading, Bartoldi said she represents a Roman Goddess (since I wasn't there, and he designed it, I'll take his word for that).
It was a gift representing Liberty (as in Statue of __________).
No matter what anyone believes, she DOES NOT represent anything muslim.
Just remember who's putting this out there.....Liberals and their propaganda machine. After all, it is their goal to destroy America and what it stands for.
Even if I hadn't researched any of it, since Liberals were the ones backing this erroneous idea, I would, automatically, doubt their version of "truth."

Here's some more along the same lines;

Fun fact;
In Babylon, a woman had to offer herself to the first customer who threw a coin in her lap at the temple before she could marry, and she couldn't leave the temple until she had sold herself, apparently some had to stay there for years. America isn't quite that perverted yet but the cucks are working on it.
