In statues and other public art, a nation celebrates its heroes and delineates its values. That’s why the conflict over statues continues to rage so heatedly in the U.S.; as the left imposes its sinister socialist and globalist vision upon us, we see statues of George Washington pulled down and statues of George Floyd put up. Across the pond, they’re also engaged in a large-scale redefinition of what the nation is all about: in one English city, a statue is about to go up celebrating women who wear the hijab. Welcome to the New Britain, or more precisely, Sharia Britannia.
There is more. Read the rest here.

“Sharia Britannia” or Britainistan. It’s almost there.
London, which is already there, is often referred to as Londonistan with its own paki mayor. The last time I was there a few years ago on a business trip I actually saw Muslimas in head-to-toe garbage bags working as salespersons in department stores.

I cannot comprehend that they do not know that statues and paintings of humans are forbidden in Islam
PRCS says
Given that Qur’an 33:59 prescribed the veil (jilbab, hijab, niqab, burqa, etc.) distinguished free, chaste Muslim women from kuffar riff-raff 1400 years ago–and still does–it’s difficult to support the notion that garb oppresses hijabis.
Quite the contrary, IMO.
And those who claim Qur’an 24:31 (the so-called modesty passage) is also oppressive ignore that it permitted unveiled Muslimas to be viewed by their slaves and eunuchs.
Neither of those two passages has been abrogated.
Muslims in the U.S. must be told–in no uncertain terms: expressions of Islamic supremacism have no place here.
Waiting, waiting, waiting for Ilhan Omar’s colleagues to point that out.
KoshsShadow says
I thought any depiction of humans was forbidden in Islam; thus Islamic decorations never feature human or even animal figures.
So this insults the very religion it is supposed to represent.
I wonder if the artist and mayor will be confused if the Muslims riot and tear it down?
PRCS says
Muslims once attempted to have the Muhammad depiction removed from the U.S, Supreme Court building’s frieze:

joe lee says
Quite correct in Mecca they have even vandalised Muhammad grave because only Allah should be worshiped. This is where maybe spirituality, atheism, Christianity and Islam could have a meeting, because the God is an abstract idea of feeling and spirituality, BUT Islam refuse to talk because they are all without exception fascist filth
Rufolino says
Apart from its celebration of oppression, this huge thing is aesthetically monstrous. The UK gone mad. Makes me feel nauseous. It suggests a collapse of civilised values in what was once the most civilised country in the world. The UK is ripening for a takeover.
