Thanks for posting this. Just sent out in email.
Wow. Never seen this comparision before. Thanks for the link.
Yep. Now how do we get everyone else to see that?
I just copied this article & sent it out to everyone on my email list. If we all did this, the word would get out to quite a lot of people. We can't depend on the media to tell it.
Bill O'Reilly would do it. Send this to him.
You may be right, while reading this I can remember learning of it in grade school....which was long before PC educators rewrote history books. I could not have given this history lesson though, I needed the refresher.
Solidarity with white Christians has not statistically been as important to them as solidarity by skin color. This is not racsim. /sarc
Sen. Ellison and Sen. Obama.
Let me correct that, Rep Ellison and Sen Obama......do you think they meant two Congressmen?
Good post. Thanks. Too bad these changes in text only apply to the translations from arabic to english or whatever. If the muslims themelves had newer editions of the Quran where those changes were made that would be a good thing.
What a disgrace that most Americans (including me) are unaware of the history of islam in THIS Country and how Ellison and the ENEMEDIA have twisted this story to imply Jefferson had respect for islam!
"There is no doubt Ellison was right about Jefferson believing wisdom could be "gleaned" from the Muslim Quran. At the time Jefferson owned the book, he needed to know everything possible about Muslims because he was about to advocate war against the Islamic "Barbary" states of Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia and Tripoli."
Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil; Who substitute darkness for light and light for darkness; Who substitute bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!

Thanks for ping, Justa!
Everybody here needs to send a copy of this article to every Christian pastor they know, black or white.
Here is a "History of a Musslelman family" from Lancaster County, PA who say the following on their web site: "One theory supported only by family stories is that the Musselman surname is derived from the word Meuse as in River Meuse, which runs between Holland and Germany. Meus-el-man i.e. the man from the River Meuse gradually changed into …Meusselman…then to Musselman. In our family Bible, it is written Muffelman with a 1799 entry. The double "ff" is an old style writing of "ss". Research indicates a name change occured when leaving the old world."
Thanks!
Wow! Great article.
In 1794, Congress authorized the building of a new U.S. Navy (the Navy of the Revolutionary War had been dissolved at the war's end). If you were to ask Americans "Troubles with what country led Congress to form a new Navy?", I doubt that one in a hundred could give the correct answer, which is: Algeria.
At 18, I was unofficially engaged to an Iranian exchange student 8 years my senior, with an MBA degree. His father had been one of the Shah's ambassadors, he said.
After 6 months of studying NOTHING but Iran and the Middle East, and reading the Qu'ran/Koran, I, who had been brought up in the Presbyterian Church, U.S.A., determined that I was NOT to marry this man and go to Iran to be a teacher. And, I can thank God I never did. "Not Without My Daughter" starring Sally Field, could have been my story. I wanted nothing , ABSOLUTELY NOTHING, to do with that religion!!! Any intelligent, well-read, 18 y.o. Christian ought to be able to figure that out!
