I got this in an e-mail from a military veteran and felt it deserved to be shared.

Wasn’t the US Navy largely founded to go to “Stop Jihad Now” in the Mediterranean?

[Clioman]

“I know, too, that Islam has always been a part of my story.” There. Now it’s corrected.

Great letter.

It’s a shame that Stroker wouldn’t be man enough to (1) actually read it and (2) understand what the writer is saying.

Debate is wasted in Stroker and his ilk. It’s better just to toss him onto the scrap heap of history.

The only thing you will find is a statement by John Randolph of Roanoke that he admired Islam.

Of course, he didn't know much about it.

He also was held insane in a court of law. read all about it.

The Muslims are a part of our history. The very first battle after the war of Independence was a battle against some pirate off the Barbary coast where pirates were raiding our ships. The Barbary pirates were Muslims.

The worthless Kenyan Liar and Democrat strikes again,But he was born and raised that way and with 22 years in the Wright house of Lies as reinforcement also Liar heroes Jesse,Al,Louie and the entire Cast of the NAACP Carnival Side show.

Muslims have been coming into this country since 1895. They settled in Iowa and later built the first mosque in America in 1934 which is called the Mother Mosque.

Depends on what you mean by ‘story.’ Avast! That be pirates!

“...to the shores of Tripoli.....”

[BigFinn]

The only muslim heritage is the murder of 3,000+ innocent Americans, the flood of immigrants now building mosques at an alarming rate from one coast to another and a president with a muslim moniker.

Mooselims = destruction, ignorance, hate & terror.

[umgud]

Would ya’all feel comfortable with muslims being 1% of our population?
How about 5%?
25%?
51%? No?

Then why have any?

[Lera]

They have a history with this country and that history is why our Marines bear the nickname leathernecks.

From the Halls of Montezuma
To the Shores of Tripoli;
We will fight our country’s battles
In the air, on land and sea;
First to fight for right and freedom
And to keep our honor clean;
We are proud to claim the title
of United States Marine

"I know, too, that Islam has always been a part of America's story."

Something tells me George Washington didn't cross the Delaware shouting "Allah Akbar."

[Kirkwood]

“Your own half brother, a devout Muslim, still advocates slavery himself”

I didn’t know that. Does anyone in the extended obama family own slaves now or in the past?

[Stepan12]

One among many of the salutory effects of Columbus’s voyage to America was that America was declared for Christian Europe. If Columbus had not gone (I know he was looking for a route to the East Indies), the Muslims with their superior technology back then — the astrolobe — would’ve discovered America and declared that hemisphere for Islam.

[Molon Labbie]

An equally poignant question might be, “When the muslims have subjugated and/or killed the people of America will they still consider us part of the American Heritage?”

[Billthedrill]

Aw, you beat me to it. Lord Nelson called the burning of the Philadelphia in Tripoli harbor "the most bold and daring act of the age." Praise from the master is praise indeed.

[skeeter]

Good point - the muslims gave the us the United States Marine Corps.

[bfree]

They have already killed Americans on our shores. I will NEVER forget 9/11. Deport them all.
