My familiarity was introduced as a clan of mountain folk that, with very diverse backgrounds, shunned society.

I have been doing genealogy since 1980. I have been told that the term melungeon refers to a mix of black, American Indian and white. Never heard or read anything about muslims before. In reading about Brent Kennedy, it seems that very few agree with him. Nor does he cite any proofs.

This is a case of Obama finding an unproven and bending over backwards to kiss muslim keister.

I have no reason to dismiss this claim but the fact that they couldn’t get along makes sense. It their way or nothing.

Thanks for the work.

And thanks for yours. I've only been aware of bits and pieces of the story. But this is an excellent article and I learned a lot.

What was his history grade at Columbia? A D?

One fact of history that Obama studiously avoids is that the Luo tribe, HIS tribe, was a tribe of slave raiders and slave traders, selling other Africans into bondage. But he’s soooo proud of them.

"Senegalese educator Amadou-Mahtar M’Bow has written that in 1587 a shipload of Moriscos (Spanish Moors) landed in a coastal area of South Carolina. The Moors, he contends, migrated to the mountains of eastern Tennessee and western North Carolina

If so, they quickly left their Islam behind. Many believe the Melungeons are of Sephardic Jewish descent. They are something of a mystery....Abraham Lincoln is said to be partly from the Melungeons.

The article I posted refers to that. I am here to learn along with everyone else. The local news covered these folks some years ago. It does seem to be quite a mix of all races and beliefs.

Obama can’t tell the difference between diplomacy and lying saccharine flattery.

And neither can the “journalists.”

This will end badly.

Just replace the name Hitler with 0bama. Except 0bama is much much worse.

And the Germans didn't have the internet---beacause Algore wasn't born yet.

"Our understanding of how disease spreads and how it can be healed..."?

More on "Islamic medicine" at both links.

Islam Watch: Islamic voodoos

Curiously, despite a plethora of Islamic Medicines and Surgery, perhaps the only verse in the Qur’an, which mentions Islamic medicine, is 16:69. In this verse Allah says that He instructs the bees to eat from varieties of fruit; then they release coloured liquid from their stomachs (honey) and this liquid (honey) is healing. Ibn Kathir provides the reason why honey is a good medicine. According to him honey is hot, so it is a cure for all cold diseases, because a disease should be treated with its opposite.

Allah has made the body‑waste of cattle as medicines for humans. In verses 36:71‑73 Allah says that he has created domestic cattle to be under the ownership of their owners, some to be used for transport and some to be eaten. To elaborate these verses ibn Kathir writes that cattle urine can be drunk as a medicine.

Allah did not forget the magical healing power of Muhammad's body‑waste. Ali Dashti writes that many Muslims believed that Muhammad's urine and faeces were pure. Ali Dashti mentions that Umm Ayman (Muhammad's wet nurse) drank Muhammad's urine (Dashti, p.67). To learn more about the magical power of Muhammad's urine and faeces please read the episode (episode 5) Islamic Black Magic Voodoo.

Perhaps, the most intriguing Islamic medicine is the healing power of a housefly. Sahih Bukhari (4.54.337) writes that one of the wings of a fly has a disease; its other wing has the cure. So if a fly falls in a drink dip it in the drink, and gulp the water.
If a fly falls in a vessel, dip all of it and then throw the fly away, for in one of its wings there is a disease and in the other there is healing…(Sahih Bukhari, 7.71.673)
One wing of a fly contains poison; the other wing contains medicine, so if a fly falls on your drink dip it inside the drink…(Sunaan ibn Majah, 5.3504, 3505)


And, if you think that it is different now, than it was in the 7th Century:


Islamic scientist: Hadith revealed cure for AIDS ''If a fly falls into your drink, you should dip it in the drink'

Posted: November 13, 2008

An Islamic scientist claim Islam's prophet Muhammad revealed the cure for AIDS, according to the Middle East Media Research Institute.

Hamas TV scientist Ahmad Al-Muzain says Bayer, the German drug giant that developed aspirin, got its treatment for AIDS from "Prophet Muahmmad's Hadith About the Wings of Flies."

Al-Muzain, a Palestinian expert on "Quranic science," said during a program aired on Al-Aqsa Television Sept. 19 that the German company only confirmed what already had been revealed by Muhammad....

“mountains of eastern Tennessee and western North Carolina where they established colonies.” When I think of that area historically I think of Knox county and Knoxville, where about the only thing provided by Muslims were bastards, few are far between.

I don’t buy anything wikipedia sells.

I am careful with the credibility there. But, having some interest in the subject, I scanned the entry and found it very well written and documented.

Obviously there was a ton wrong with this speech, and history was the least of it. In my blog yesterday, "Obama's Velvet Deception in Cairo," he managed to misrepresent the core element of ALL THREE major world religions:

Check out my related comments on how he got religion wrong:

http://www.patriotshistoryusa.com.blogspot

He managed to misrepresent every one of the three major religions.

Also, it's worth noting that while Hispanics are disproportionately represented in the American armed forces, and while German-Americans constituted the largest single subgroup fighting AGAINST Germany in WW I, after 9/11 there was no similar rush by Muslim-Americans to join up, and as a % of soldiers, they remained far, far below their proportion of the population as a whole.

Kennedy’s article stated that DNA showed they were from Mediterranean counties. I find that very vague since that would include Spain, Monaco, Italy, France, Greece........any country on the Mediterranean. At this point the muslim connection looks like conjecture.

the Netherlands became the first country in the world to recognize formal diplomatic relations with the United States in 1782. These relations have never been interrupted, and thus the Netherlands can boast the world's longest record of continuous friendly relations with the U.S. Benjamin Franklin once wrote: "In love of liberty and in the defense of it, Holland has been our example."
