Your great State Dept at work...paid for by YOU (makes you proud, don't it?

While I am certain that Islamo-Americans have contributed to this great country in times of war and in times of peace, I would like to hear the greater Islamic-American community condemn the nutcases who are attempting to destroy this country. Otherwise, all you Islamists can STFU. Thank yew...

Too bad there are no bold Muslims today like the ones in North Africa who helped finance the Revolutionary War (thanks to some smooth salesmanship by Jefferson) or in Morocco who were the first country to recognize the US.

Instead of culturally growing, they’ve regressed back to the 12th Century.

Are there any books which HONESTLY portray the history of Islam in the United States?

This is truly unbelievable. Our own State Dept. is trying to tell us how wonderful this death cult really is. You just can't make this stuff up.

Nothing tells us so eloquently that we should fire EVERYONE at State and start ALL OVER AGAIN.

Right after 9-11, when Condi was still NSA director, she held a press conference where one featherbrained reporter asked her how she could say we were at war.

She told the squishy drooler that maybe he needed to watch the videos of the planes crashing into the buildings again.

Methinks Condi should take her own advice.

Everything, and I mean EVERYTHING, I ever needed to know about Islam, I learned on 9-11.

Well, after all, we must appease these cretins; otherwise, they might get upset and attack us (Twin Towers not withstanding). /s

Slavery enters the story of Islam in America with the early European settlement. One of the myths Muhammad seeks to dispel is that enslaved Africans brought by the settlers had no organized religion and could not read or write.

He cites the story of Ayuba (Job) Suleiman Diallo, who was captured in 1730 in The Gambia and brought to Annapolis, Maryland, where he was sold into slavery. Diallo wrote a letter in Arabic to his father, according to Muhammad. The letter came to the attention of James Oglethorpe, the founder of the U.S. state Georgia, who helped buy Diallo's freedom. Oglethorpe sent him to London and then back to his homeland to work for the Royal African Company of London. While in London, Diallo wrote down in Arabic three copies of the Quran from memory.

The plain truth is that most were illiterate by no fault of their own. This guy claims to dispel a myth by citing one example. This just another example of a positive stereotype being perpetrated without any real supporting evidence.

**One of them was Estevanico, a Moor born in North Africa,**

Who treated the Indians so badly they finally killed him.

But wait. I read that Estavan was born in Spain. He also sent back crosses to Frey Marcos de Niza, a small one for “not much ahead” or a large one for “A great find ahead.”

After Estevan’s death Marcos came back to Mexico with the tale of the LOST GOLD CITIES OF CIBOLA he had seen shining way ahead. Liar.

Those muslims in Africa who were brought to the US probably owned slaves of their own in Africa.

The great geographer Ibn Batuta was himself a slave dealer,
which is how he financed his travels. When he returned from North Africa, he brought 700 male slaves with him.

Slavery—perpetrated by muslims—still exists in parts of North Africa, Arabia, and the Gulf.

When someone writes the history of slavery, he should include ALL of the slave traders and dealers, not just
the European ones.

Yes, and it’s important that they include the treatment of the slaves by the respective civilizations.

The Europeans didn’t make their slaves eunuchs, neither did they take them so as to be part of their harim, nor did they saw their heads off for disobedience and rebellion.

As savage as the early Europeans could be, they could not match the mindless cruelty, the barbaric inhumanity, exhibited by Mahomet’s spawn.

And while the Christian Faith, once it’s source book The Bible became available to the common man, fostered the Reformation and the Enlightenment, from which we obtain our civilized and humane value system today, those who adhere most closely to the demonic babblings of the pedophilic pirate Mahomet, become all the more determined only to grow in their violence and cruelty.

Africa: America's Extensive Islamic Heritage Detailed in Exhibitions

Criminy...this is like a bad flashback to The Cold War.

When Soviet publications claimed that they'd invented everything
under the sun.

That's a major sign of a culture/system that really sucks and
desperately needs to convince themselves (and the rest of the world)
of their suppossed superiority.

In a few more years, we’ll have school history books telling us how everything that’s successful about America is due to it’s Muslim heritage.

When I first read this I thought the CSAM was pretty accurate, because I mitakenly read it as SCAM. Now I’ve adopted the theory they just misnamed the effort and I was much closer to the truth on my first pass.

There seems to be some kind of whacked out effort to convince Blacks and others in this nation, that all slaves brought to the US were from Moslem areas of Africa. It’s my understanding that most of the slaves came from parts of Africa where Santeria (or percursors of it) and other tribal forms of beliefs were in practice. As I understand it witch doctors were about as close to a religious experience most of the slaves came to before being caputured and shipped out.

Does anyone have anything to offer along these lines? Is my understanding of this incorrect?
