From what I've read so far, this report was definitely written before the current PC-era.

Great find, thank you!

But apparently right in the middle of the "hitting the nail on the head" era. That's a really excellent piece.

Bttt! I hope a lot of FReepers see this, it's excellent.

Thanks for another reference, SJackson.

Why not copy and forward it to everyone in your e-mail address book and encourage them to do the same?

If you're not familiar with the circumstances of the war with the Barbary Pirates, you might be interested in America’s Earliest Terrorists-Lessons from America’s first war against Islamic terror.

Take, for example, the 1786 meeting in London of Thomas Jefferson, John Adams, and Sidi Haji Abdul Rahman Adja, the Tripolitan ambassador to Britain. As American ambassadors to France and Britain respectively, Jefferson and Adams met with Ambassador Adja to negotiate a peace treaty and protect the United States from the threat of Barbary piracy.

These future United States presidents questioned the ambassador as to why his government was so hostile to the new American republic even though America had done nothing to provoke any such animosity. Ambassador Adja answered them, as they reported to the Continental Congress, “that it was founded on the Laws of their Prophet, that it was written in their Koran, 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 who should be slain in Battle was sure to go to Paradise.”

Sound familiar?

Is this available in html anywhere?

My PCs keep locking up anytime I try to download anything in pdf format.

Ah, the old times when people were not beating around the bush.

Try Adobe's site, http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/access_onlinetools.html. Paste in the URL and it will return a html or text document. Formatting isn't always good, but it's readable.

[SJackson]

BTW, it may still be slow, but shouldn't lock up.

[Fruitbat]

Presumably printable as well.

Do you know why it locks up?

Moslem states a threat? "And the Elelphant Man had a little puffiness around the eyes."

I know just who to send it to. My cousin has an address book the size of a dictionary ;-)

My my, very familiar. At least the ambassador actually told the truth. Now if we could get more people to finally listen.
