Muslim Peasant Woman - The Idea Behind the Statue of Liberty

Did you know that the original plan for the Statue of Liberty was to be a muslim peasant woman located at the Suez Canal in Eqypt?  Did you know that the Statue was not a gift from France, but the combined efforts of the artist Frederic Batholdi and American Joseph Pulitizer?  How about the fact it took 15 years to complete.  It was suppose to be a light house and at one point Thomas Edison wanted to make her talk.  

Do you believe that this symbol of refugees coming to America seeking asylum and religious freedoms would have impacted the world as much if it had been designed as a muslim woman and placed in Eqypt?

I do not !!! - It is because we are America, the home of free and the land of the brave that this symbol has taken on so much meaning.  The words on her book are simple and yet very profound  'Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door!'"

However, the world we live in today is not the same as it was in 1886.  There were 76 million people in the US at that time versus 322,193,622 today.  We saw 5.2 million refugees then verses 42.1 million a year now.  

As a nation one of the biggest changes to the world we live in is our own "Political Correctness" it is destroying the very foundation of our country.

This country was founded, built, fought for and died for on a GODLY foundation.  

Principle 1 - The only reliable basis for sound government and just human relations is Natural Law. Natural law is God's law. There are certain laws which govern the entire universe, and just as Thomas Jefferson said in the Declaration of Independence, there are laws which govern in the affairs of men which are "the laws of nature and of nature's God." 

Principle 4 - Without religion the government of a free people cannot be maintained. "Of all the dispositions and habits which lead to political prosperity, religion and morality are indispensable supports.... And let us with caution indulge the supposition that morality can be maintained without religion." - George Washington 

Principle 5 - All things were created by God, therefore upon him all mankind are equally dependent, and to him they are equally responsible. The American Founding Fathers considered the existence of the Creator as the most fundamental premise underlying all self-evident truth. They felt a person who boasted he or she was an atheist had just simply failed to apply his or her divine capacity for reason and observation. 

Principle 6 - All mankind were created equal. The Founders knew that in these three ways, all mankind are theoretically treated as: 1. Equal before God. 2. Equal before the law. 3. Equal in their rights. 

Principle 7 - The proper role of government is to protect equal rights, not provide equal things. The Founders recognized that the people cannot delegate to their government any power except that which they have the lawful right to exercise themselves. 

Principle 8 - Mankind are endowed by God with certain unalienable rights. "Those rights, then, which God and nature have established, and are therefore called natural rights, such as are life and liberty, need not the aid of human laws to be more effectually invested in every man than they are; neither do they receive any additional strength when declared by the municipal [or state] laws to be inviolable. On the contrary, no human legislation has power to abridge or destroy them, unless the owner [of the right] shall himself commit some act that amounts to a forfeiture." - William Blackstone 

Principle 9 - To protect human rights, God has revealed a code of divine law. "The doctrines thus delivered we call the revealed or divine law, and they are to be found only in the Holy Scriptures. These precepts, when revealed, are found by comparison to be really a part of the original law of nature, as they tend in all their consequences to man's felicity." - William Blackstone 

Principle 10 - The God-given right to govern is vested in the sovereign authority of the whole people. "The fabric of American empire ought to rest on the solid basis of the consent of the people. The streams of national power ought to flow immediately from that pure, original fountain of all legislative authority." - Alexander Hamilton 

Once we became so worried about removing the foundation of our country, we began to crumble, fight among ourselves and lose our focus.  America was and always has been centered around, GOD, country and family.  Today more people are worried about offending than standing up for those principles.

You might be surprised that with true muslim people many of these same principles are in the Quran. The difference as I see it is true muslim's just as true Christians embrace these principles, follow God and seek to make the world a better place.  It is the extremist in both religions as well as follows of the evil one that are creating the negative place we call America.

So ask yourself this "What if the Statue of Liberty were a muslim woman?"  How would you feel about that being the symbol of immigration and safety for the borders of the United States?

How and when do we say "Stop !  We have to evaluate where we are and where we are going?  The United States has not grown in land mass so where are we suppose to continue to put all these people who want to live here?  Who bears the burdens for them? At what cost to our own children, families, veterans and aged do we put the needs of strangers above our own?"

The United States today can not and does not care for, provide for or support the majority of our elderly and our veterans.  We have homeless and hungry, uneducated children that we are not taking care of today.  Until we have leaders who will address these issues rather than their own political agendas, it is really not a matter of not wanting Syrians into our country as much as for me it is "What in the world are we going to do now and how?"
