Considering the original location for the Statue of Liberty was Egypt, not New York Harbor, it makes perfect sense.

Absolute complete idiocy whoever even suggested such a thing.

The Statue of Liberty, the creation of sculptor Frédéric Auguste Bartholdi, was based on the Roman Goddess Libertas, who in turn was based on the Ancient Egyptian Goddess Isis.

The Goddess Isis wasn't Muslim, the whole thing was Pagan.

Also the Goddess Isis and the Goddess Libertas are both associated with prostitution.

The State of Liberty is named directly for the Goddess Libertas and Libertas was also the Roman Goddess of sexual freedom and the patron Goddess of prostitution, Roman Senator Cicero called her "the mother of Harlots".

Read The Bible, "the mother of all Harlots" aka "The Whore of Babylon" aka The Statue of Liberty.

No it doesn't make sense, the entire notion is the depth of absolute ignorance, it seems that the MSM is now gearing itself towards the brain-washed and the uneducated.

The Statue of Liberty and the Goddess it was modelled on and the Goddess that that one in turn was modelled on NONE of them were Muslim.

Oh Good God Almighty. Originally, the statue was suppose to be placed at the Suez canal to celebrate it's completion. The original intent was for the statue to be of a "veiled peasant woman" representing the people of Egypt. Veil, woman, Egypt--yeah MUSLIM.

I don't care what that article states and that it's from 2015 means nothing, the point is it is incorrect, hint the statue was to be based on an Ancient Egyptian fellah, the Ancient Egyptians were not Muslims, so the Ancient Egyptian fellah it was meant to be based on could NOT have been a Muslim woman could she?

The key point is that Frédéric Auguste Bartholdi went to Isma'il Pasha who was the Khedive of Egypt, a Khedive was a sort of Viceroy, anyhow Bartholdi had an original plan to construct a form of lighthouse in the shape of an Ancient Egyptian fellah, which were peasant girls and the statue was to be ROBED and holding a torch in her hand pointed toward the Northern entrance of The Suez Canal.

No it has and hasn't ANYTHING to do with a Muslim woman, the Ancient Egyptians were not Muslim, Islam wasn't founded until the 7th Century.

Lol read the comments after that absolute HORSECRAP article you've posted, yes they are right, just as I am right, just as the article is HORSECRAP and you are wrong and obviously uneducated.

LOL the person who wrote the article Erin Blakemore also writes for THE ONION!

Everyone should ignore the article which is pure bullshit and just scroll down and read ALL the comments:

The Statue of Liberty Was Originally a Muslim Woman | Smart News | Smithsonian

Here are just some of the comments:

Ian Huntley • a year ago

"This is some poor scholarship. The only thing that's true is that Bartholdi was going to build a giant woman statue. His original project got cancelled, and he went with Libertas instead. Implying that it is a "Muslim woman" is just... wrong. I mean, it's not a defensible position from an academic standpoint. Moreno was mis-cited, and the author owes him an apology, as well.

I expect better from the Smithsonian. Erin Blakemore has conducted historical research on many projects and should know better. This is a propaganda piece designed to promote an agenda, and it is intellectually dishonest at its core. The author was hoping no one would check her "facts." I've read Moreno's book, and in no way does he imply that the statue was ever anything but Libertas. In fact, he was casting around looking for an American counterpart for Britannia and Marianne. At what point during that thought process was he supposed to have come up with "Muslim peasant?"

The Smithsonian should retract the piece and apologize, not cling to the tiny sliver of fact contained in the article.

Bin Ian Huntley • a year ago

I don't think Erin Blakemore has done much historical, scientific or cultural research for her articles. Almost all her pieces here


Charlie Alvarez Ian Huntley • a year ago

That includes writing articles for "The Onion" which is a tongue-in-cheek phony-news website. Surely this ridiculous fabrication was adopted directly from the Onion.

in Smithsonian are cut-and-pasted from other sources. And she often misunderstands and exaggerates the original stories.

Sharon Presley Robert D Anti Intolerance • 3 days ago

No, it isn't accurate. "Bartholdi became fascinated by the ancient architecture" --a line from the article. But the ancient architecture predated Islam by many centuries. In fact Muslims don't even build statues. So where does the "Muslim" part come in? Nowhere that I can see."

The Ancient Egyptians were not Muslim, they pre-dated Jesus Christ and Islam wasn't founded until the 7th Century. The Ancient Egyptians were Pagans, and their Goddess Isis is still very much revered by all Pagans today.

Because the increasingly disgusting slugs in the MSM are deliberately perverting actual Ancient History now in a twisted attempt to further push the Propaganda that EVERYTHING is linked to Islam and Muslims in SOME way which is why EVERYONE should just agree to open the floodgates for EVERY Muslim on the PLANET to just walk into Western nations and OMG if you disagree well you're just a filthy bigot or a filthy racist or something.

This is something everyone should be incensed about regardless of Right or Left, the deliberate perverting of actual Ancient History to fit The Agenda, unless of course the people who aren't incensed support The Agenda.

I don't think anyone is deliberately perverting it. It is what it is - and I had no idea it was originally destined for the Suez Canal. If it was modeled after an Egyptian woman, she probably was Muslim - but...so what?

No one is saying we should open the floodgates for every Muslim. That's part of the problem with even trying to talk about it - people rush to assume extreme ends and extreme positions. But it does make it particularly poignant in light of the very real horrors that the refugees of Syria, are going through at the hands of ISIS, Assad, and countless autonomous militias.

I'm not calling anyone filthy bigot or filthy racist.

No that's a ludicrous statement considering the Ancient Egyptian fellah pre-dated Islam by many, many thousands of years amongst other things.

The Propagandists are attempting to pervert this by saying that statue was BASED on a Muslim woman, when it was NOT based on a Muslim woman, but it was based on a Pagan woman and then an actual Pagan Goddess who in turn inspired the Ancient Roman's with their Goddess Libertas and NO Libertas WASN'T a Muslim woman either.
