How Thomas Jefferson Responded to Islam in 1801 Puts Barack H. Obama to Shame
Conservative Tribute ^ | December 29, 2014 | Conservative Tribune

Obama should really pick up a history book sometime, and read about how one of his predecessors, and one of our nation’s Founding Fathers, handled the threat posed by radical Islamic jihadists, way back in 1801.

[snip]

According to Jefferson, Sidi Haji Abdul Rahman Adja replied that Islam “was founded on the Laws of their Prophet, that it was written in their Qur’an, that all nations who should not have acknowledged their authority were sinners, that it was their right and duty to make war upon them wherever they could be found, and to make slaves of all they could take as Prisoners, and that every Musselman [Muslim] who should be slain in battle was sure to go to Paradise.”

The kidnapping, extortion, ransoms and headchopping that were carried out by Islam in the late 1700s along Barbary Coast, including Algiers, Morocco, Tripoli, and Tunis, pre-dated any American colonialism, for which Obama now apologizes, as if Western actions gave rise to these classically-Islamic activities.

Just like the sea-borne Islamic head-choppers back then, today's ISIL (ptui!), Muslim Brotherhood (Hi, Huma!) and Al Qaeda are simply showing their true nature that they manifest without having to point to any supposed Western injustices.

For Barry to claim today's extreme Islamicists are not Islamic does not comport with the historic example. It comports only with Islamic taqiyyah, historically-sanctioned lies to cover up inconvenient truths about Islam.

And how is it Barry, purported by the media to manifest a Christian faith, is unchallengingly allowed to make critique of a concept of true Islamic faith? The media would not allow just any Christian to do that. It's because Barry is known, despite the media lies, to be a committed Muslim--as much as his overriding Marxism would allow, at least--if not a radical Islamicist sympathizer above any and all pro-America inclinations one would expect an American president would manifest.

My loathing of the illegitimate, bisexual, Marxist Kenyan Muslim Usurper requires medication.

America needs a few men like Thomas Jefferson and USMC Lieutenant Presley O'Bannon again.

Come to think of it, the fact that President Thomas Jefferson went after the muslim cutthroats might have something to do with
Obama's open dislike for the Founders.

Preaching to the choir...liberals and US haters like 0blama look at Jefferson as an illegitimate founder, so it doesn’t matter. Sorry, I view an editorial as a waste of digital ink, like my response.

The Muslims always fall back on their accusation that Christians killed Muslims during the Crusades. Well DUH…Saladin, the murderous leader of Islam’s army, was slaughtering his way across Europe. Only by God’s grace did Charles Martell and his smaller forces save France and stop Islam’s march to eradicate Christianity.

Muslims don’t believe in self-defense, only surrender and “submission” to their satanic “religion,” which does its mission work by murdering innocents and raping children.

How Thomas Jefferson Responded to Islam in 1801 Puts Barack H. Obama to Shame

Shouldn't this headline be more general? "How Whoever Responded to Whatever in Whenever Would Put Barack H. Obama to Shame if BHO Had Any Sense of Shame." Only one exception, How James Buchanan responded to the crises leading up to the Civil War...

Add Boko Haram to the mix. They are the true face of Islam.

First why would Barrack Hussein be worried about being shamed.

He is one of them and just following out his orders issued by the his Muslim bosses.

He knows what Jefferson did to Muslims and he hates America for it.

The only way to stop him is to physically remove him from office, NOW.

Arrest, try and if convicted administer what is required by the Constitution and our laws for a traitor.

I do not believe that William Eaton would concur with this assessment of Jefferson.

Any kid in kindergarten can give a better speech. And especially if they are home schooled.

From “When The Warrior Returns,” by Francis Scott Key. “The Star Spangled Banner” was a rewrite of this song dedicated to the heroes of the Barbary Wars:

...In the conflict resistless, each toil they endured,
‘Till their foes fled dismayed from the war’s desolation:
And pale beamed the Crescent, its splendor obscured
By the light of the Star Spangled flag of our nation.
Where each radiant star gleamed a meteor of war,
And the turbaned heads bowed to its terrible glare,
Now, mixed with the olive, the laurel shall wave,
And form a bright wreath for the brows of the brave....

The selfish little punk in the white house doesn’t worry about anything but his selfish little political crap.

His so called foreign affairs policies just amount to a huge double face palm.

The USA has legitimate commercial and national interests in the regions of the world where the Mohammedeans reside.

It is not unreasonable to use military force to protect those interests.

Side Note: When I see the name Holden, I can help but think of the sniveling puSSy in Catcher in the Rye.

The Koran and its enforcement of sharia law is a pseudo religious concoction using monotheistic selected texts taken and misconstrued from the new and old testaments. That institutionalizes disgusting arab tribal views, observances,and customs. Claiming adhearants are authorized by our Creator to demand submission to it or suffer an ignominious death administered by its followers.
