I'm on my phone due to the ice storm knocking out our power and cable services. So apologies for any errors. [link to m.koco.com] According to the Smithsonian Institute’s magazine, the Statue of Liberty was originally conceived as a Muslim woman in traditional dress. The Daily Beast reports French sculptor Frederic Auguste Bartholdi initially wanted the statue placed in Port Said. The ruler of Egypt at the time, Isma’il Pasha, dismissed the project as being too expensive, according to The Huffington Post. Apparently everything was at one time Muslim or meant to be.

A new study shows, that when you lead anything with "a new study" people buy it as factual when it can be completely based on theory and conjecture. Seems legit.

But. They are misrepresenting it. The statue "originally conceived" is nothing like the statue actually made. They are two different concepts having in common only that they are female. So, no, the Statue of Liberty isn't supposed to be Muslim. The artist, thinking of maybe an oppressed person, thought about making this Muslim woman statue. But, didn't. Maybe because it never would have been popular.

Yes, France gave it to us. If they had given us a stupid statue of a Muslim woman, at best, it would have been tossed in a warehouse somewhere.

I think this link sort of sheds light on the truth and it has nothing to with a muslim woman. "Bartholdi at the time was somewhat obsessed with Ancient Egypt. It was ancient Egypt that interested him rather than Islam. The statue was meant to celebrate Egyptian civilization rather than Islam. In any case the idea that "Egypt" became the Statue of Liberty is a myth. How do we know that? Here's what Bartholdi had to say about it, "At that time my Statue of Liberty did not exist, even in my imagination, and the only resemblance between the drawing that I submitted to the Khedive and the statue now in New York's beautiful harbor is that both held a light aloft. Now how is a sculptor to make a statue which is to serve the purpose of a lighthouse without making it hold the light in the air?" The Statue of Liberty originally functioned as a lighthouse."

Without knowing the background I've always told people that I think TSOL was intended to be black/Asian. Simple reason being that although the statue is now green due to verdigris it's covering is copper and was originally brown.
