This history is not taught, so most people have no idea what the “...Shores of Tripoli” in the Marines Corp anthem refers to...Or that the Marines were essentially created to deal with Barbary Pirates against US shipping...Or that literally millions (yes, millions!) of white Europeans were captured and sold into slavery in Muslim countries by these and those like them (Muzzies, all and a few turncoats)...Or that the US paid huge “tribute” to keep its shipping and people from the raiders...
There’s an excellent (IMHO) book entitled “The Pirate Coast: Thomas Jefferson, the First Marines, and the Secret Mission of 1805”, by Richard Zacks available at Amazon that details William Eaton’s secret mission to the Barbary Coast for Thomas Jefferson...Here: http://www.amazon.com/The-Pirate-Coast-Jefferson-Marines/dp/140130849X
If you’re interested in this subject, I highly recommend it...I found it worth my time...
Seems people think the latest atrocities committed by the Muslim ISIS is an abberation...Read this book, and decide for yourself if it is, or just more of the same...
Then start reading Muslim history since Muhamed...Consistent pattern of brutality whenever and wherever able to carry it out...Nothing’s changed at all...
