Who in St. Louis approved this?

#1

A statue described by residents as a “demonic affront to faith” is scheduled for installation on Monday in St. Louis’ Fox Park, right between two churches where families gather and worship. The sculptor describes her inspiration as the “spirit and grit” of fighting for abortion. There has been minimal public notice or opportunity for neighborhood input.

Missourians deserve answers about the secrecy and placement, and we intend to get them.

Exactly how I picture the “artist.”

Shahzia Sikander labels herself as a “Progressive Muslim Feminist.”

Make that make sense……

‘progressive muslim feminist’
“idea is what you have, ideology what has you”.
interestingly ‘muslim’ originally means ‘one who submits’. she submits for sure. imagine the mind of this ‘woman’. what a mess that is!

One unintended consequence of this (impending?) Great Reset is that the resultant resource scarcity and increase in need to “hustle” to acquire enough capital and energy to meet the minimum survival requirement is, and this is just my opinion, mindless wedge issues that appeal to very small but grotesquely loud slices of the population (like this woman’s fixation on offending people over abortion through the vehicle of art) are going to be shoved aside, if not ideologically and philosophically then physically.

There’s only a tiny category of demographics that are this obsessed with abortion. It’s an issue 100000% over-amplified deliberately as an ideological dog whistle to rope in women and redirect their personal health decision into some type of drum beat for mass societal conflict

I bet, in the event of rationing or lock down, you’re going to find a few men among the flocks of the nearby churches that might (and even possibly at the prompt of their wife!) show up with an acetylene torch and an auto-industrial circular saw and unceremoniousnessly DISMANTLE that “piece of art”. Best of luck for you intervention honey, and my initial impression is that even in a city like St, Louis the small blue dot there would be crushed like can by the surrounding red communities, should push come to shove.

The use of and seeing the word ‘submit’ so prevalent on websites drives me nuts, NO I won’t! I’m from the era when ‘enter’ was used after typing information.

Bend-Over & ASSUME the Position.

Never ASSUME!

this is originally submission to God you know. but imagine those people of the Middle-East. there is stone-cold hierarchy. an all-encompassing/ruling God demands submission, not a warm-hearted afternoon tea-party. this is what gives ground to the collective there. ‘love of God’ is not first thing they have in mind.
I asked the AI of Allah’s characteristics:

Key Characteristics

  • Tawhid (Oneness / Monotheism): Allah is strictly one, unique, and indivisible, with no partners, equals, or offspring. This is the core pillar of Islamic faith. [1, 2]

  • Omnipotence (All-Powerful / Al-Qadir): Allah has absolute and unlimited power over the entire universe, creation, and all events. [1]

  • Transcendent and Immanent: Allah is transcendent (above and independent of the physical universe) while simultaneously immanent (close to His creation and aware of everything). [1]

  • Merciful and Beneficent (Ar-Rahman and Ar-Rahim): Allah is characterized by infinite mercy, compassion, and grace toward humanity. [1]

you do not see ‘loving’, do you? the first 3 is mainly about and on God. only the 4th is about relationship to mankind. those are what you here the most in everyday life. merciful to the sinner, and beneficent to the believer. and of course the infinite mercy, compassion, and grace. but the main characteristic - beside Oneness, which is partly to distinguish him from the other ‘gods’ of the region and to kill monotheism - is that you cannot ‘beat’ him anyway. which are of course legit theological statements in Christian theology too.
but they lack

John 3:16

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

only in the works of the Sufis you find love as the main theme, and those Sufis were seldom Arabic, but mostly Persian and other nations of the civilizational kind. this is a wide brush of course, but may clarify the basic psyche of Islam a bit.
most of the Sufis were persecuted by the way, when they experienced theosis and tried to speak about. beautiful works of God’s love, truth and compassion by the way…

so submission in their meaning is an original fact in this case, the recognition of the ontological reality. I would argue this way, if I were a sheikh/mullah :wink:
