The sculpture designed by leftist artist Luke Perry, dubbed the ‘Strength of the Hijab’, will be erected in the English town of Smethwick in October and will stand 16 feet (five metres) and weigh approximately one tonne. According to a report from the BBC, the Birmingham suburb statue is thought to be the first of its kind, with even Islamic countries not celebrating the hijab in such a manner.
That is actually hilarious.
Mr Perry said: “The Strength of the Hijab is a piece which represents women who wear hijabs of the Islamic faith, and it’s really there because it’s such an underrepresented part of our community, but such an important one.
“They need visibility, it’s so important, so working with the community to come up with the designs has been really exciting because we didn’t know what it was going to look like until now.”
Hahahahaha. I don't think he even realizes the absurdity of that statement.
The leftist sculptor previously worked on the ‘Black British History is British History’ sculpture, which was unveiled in Winson Green earlier this year. Shortly after its installation in May, the sculpture was defaced with graffiti.
Makes sense. He's a grifter.
Perry said that while his new sculpture in Birmingham — a minority-majority city according to the latest census — could be deemed as “controversial” for various reasons, he added: “I don’t feel like any of them are valid, but people do, there are a lot of people who object to the differences that we have in our communities and would like them to be more divided.
Of course, making a divisive and offensive work of art will....stop the divide?
“But the future of our country is about what unites us, not what pulls us apart, which is why it’s important to have representation across the whole of the UK, of everybody that lives here.”
The conquerors begin to erect statues declaring their triumph. If any of you live on that sad, rainy, godless island, its time to execute an escape plan.
They believe in cultural essentialism. Oppression of women via compelled wardrobe is an inherent aspect of Muslim culture. Anything less than enthusiastic celebration of such tradition is bigotry.
Violent crime is a part of black culture. Globalism is a part of ******* culture. Talking about sex with children is a part of gay culture. You can’t criticize any of these behaviors without committing a bigotry.
White people have no culture, so none of their behaviors are defensible.
Don't forget, this is a city that is literally bankrupt and stopping "optional" services like road repair for the foreseeable future.
I wonder where all those tax dollars are going...
That is actually hilarious.

Ah, there it is.
The hijab's strength is shutting women up.
Ikr, wait until this pissed off mudslime men and tear it down

Worth noting you will get beheaded if you even try to bring in an xmas tree into your own house in Saudi Arabia.
Keep letting invaders conquer your final corner of the world white man…
I thought Islam forbade graven images.
And a women? The mudslimes will vandalize it, huwite supremes are to blame
I hope people do lose their shit and tear it down.
Just like they did to Sir John A. MacDonald.
Liberals claiming the hijab is a sign of female empowerment is fucking hilarious

It's fitting that it's ugly as fuck, but a few kids just need to use some hammers and chisels to fix it.
This looks ugly. Did they make it just to humiliate the British?
Me: I bet it's England. Yup, it was England.
Lol though.
Didn't even catch that! Lol indeed. Oof.
Would have been even funnier in Birmingham, Alabama
Psst, I heard that whore statue cheated on her husband, but keep it quiet, ok?
Nothing says "humility is the most important virtue" like a 5m-tall statue.
Looks like someone sculpted a literal giant turd.
I dub it the durka dookie.
They'll claim the lumpy, angular style is an "artistic choice".
But we all know the truth is most likely the artist is shit at his job and couldn't sculpt an actually true to form human face to save his life.
Uhh like every woman in England is a muzzy now. Lots of hijabs.
