From the National Park Service:
Quote
... From 1855 to 1856, Bartholdi embarked on a life-changing trip throughout Europe and the Middle East with some fellow artists. When they visited the Sphinx and Pyramids of Giza in Egypt, Bartholdi discovered his passion for large-scale public monuments and colossal sculptures. In 1869, the Egyptian government expressed interest in designing a lighthouse for the Suez Canal. Eager and excited, Bartholdi designed a colossal statue of a robed woman holding a torch, which he called Egypt (or Progress) Brings Light to Asia. When he attended the canal's inauguration, however, Bartholdi was informed that he would not be able to proceed with the lighthouse.

Although disappointed, Bartholdi received a second chance to design a colossal statue. In 1865, Edouard de Laboulaye proposed that a monument representing freedom and democracy be created for the United States. Bartholdi was a great supporter of Laboulaye's idea and in 1870 he began designing the Statue of "Liberty Enlightening the World."  ...
I guess this is the basis for the claim.  :shrug:

The Egyptians probably wouldn't allow him to go forward with his design because he refused to put her in a burka. 8888crybaby

Wouldn't matter if she was. Lady Liberty isn't a Muslim Woman. Thats the only thing that matters.

The fact that many parents 'intended' their kids to be rich busisnessmen, leaders, doctors and what have you, has zero bearing on their current job at Starbucks.

I wish I could figure how to post them here, but there are memes going around of four hijab-clad women on Mount Rushmore, "Mt. Rushmore was originally intended to be Muslim women," the St. Louis Arch, and the like with other prominent landmarks.  :silly:

This is what they want everyone to believe was the intent behind the Statue of Liberty:

Fart for freedom, fart for liberty and fart proudly.  - Benjamin Franklin

...Obsta principiis—Nip the shoots of arbitrary power in the bud, is the only maxim which can ever preserve the liberties of any people. When the people give way, their deceivers, betrayers and destroyers press upon them so fast that there is no resisting afterwards. The nature of the encroachment upon [the] American constitution is such, as to grow every day more and more encroaching. Like a cancer, it eats faster and faster every hour." - John Adams, February 6, 1775

Even if so, does that make Islam any less of a death cult?
How to lose credibility while posting:
1. Trump is never wrong.
2. Default to the most puerile emoticon you can find. This is especially useful when you can't win an argument on merits.
3. Be falsely ingratiating, completely but politely dismissive without talking to the points, and bring up Hillary whenever the conversation is really about conservatism.
4. When all else fails, remember rule #1 and #2. Emoticons are like the poor man's tweet!

What does it matter, didn't the US end up fronting most the money to finish the statue. It is what we made her.

Leftist ‘Researchers’ Claim That Statue of Liberty Was Intended to Be a Muslim Woman

February 6, 2017| by Donn Marten

Demented liberals driven into madness by President Donald Trump’s election win are throwing everything at the wall to see what sticks. With the entire left mobilized and focused on defeating Trump’s efforts to bolster anti-terrorism measures with temporary travel restrictions, some have even gone so far as to suggest that the Statue of Liberty was modeled after a Muslim woman.

This insane attempt to brainwash low-information types comes courtesy of television network CBS:

I wonder why the "truth" didn't come out before this?  You would think with Obama in the WH, it would have been "discovered" then. :3:

This tired old chestnut again?

Bartholdi's final design for the statue - the one you see today - was a reworking of a proposal for a statue at the gates of Suez, with almost nothing in common apart from the size and the way the parts are fitted together. If anyone is interested, Lady Liberty's face is Barthodi's mother. Her body is that of Bartholdi's mistress.

Well, I assume that his mistress was more willing to pose for him than his mother was.

The Statue of Liberty, originally known as Liberty  Enlightening the World was designed by Bartholdi to be a gift to the Americans celebrating a century of independence.
http://www.artbronze.com/libertyenlighteningtheworldbyfrederic-augustebartholdi.aspx At the link is pictured a bronze casting from the model used to promote the project in France.

This was not the Egyptian woman intended for the Lighthouse at the Suez, but a different composition.

IOW, this assertion joins the assertions that Lady Liberty was black, in chains, or lesbian (the last of which which may not have been made yet, but assuredly can't be far behind the rest of the manure being spread).

The rewriting of history, false attribution of heraldry and other icons of our past is only something that can be accomplished with a population largely ignorant of the classical influences on the artists and ignorant of their own cultural heritage as well.

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

In my version of history, Lady Liberty isn't holding a torch. She's holding a ...SAMMICH! Because if she's gonna ask for the tired and hungry, she damn well better have my dinner ready!

One of the early designs did have her still wearing a chain on her wrist. The chain is still there, it now lays at her feet - broken. An undeniable symbol of liberty.
