Muslims discovered the Americas long before Columbus sailed the ocean blue in 1492, the head of a D.C.-based jihad-linked Islamic lobbying group told a Saudi TV station Dec. 27.

“There are historical accounts according to which the Muslims preceded Columbus, who is said to have discovered the U.S.,” claimed Nihad Awad, the co-founder of the Council on American Islamic Relations. …

CAIR did not respond to The Daily Caller’s request for an explanation of Awad’s comments, which were recorded by the Middle East Media Research Institute. …

Reminds me of the Great Soviet Encyclopedia, which stated that the airplane was invented in 1878 by a Russian named Mozhaiskii, that the incandescent bulb was invented by a Russian named Lodinov in 1870, etc.

A display of holograms from the Soviet Union that I saw while on a visit to London in 1985 included a note to the effect that the laser was invented in 1958 by a Soviet scientist.

In Muslim speak, this is a declaration of war that calls for terrorism inside the USA. (All former land that was once in muslim control is a call for jihad to regain control)

In English, it is called treason, and sedition.

Where did he get that news...Al Jazeera U.S. version? Muslims, along with “our” extreme left are trying to change history. The evil is so entrenched and all-encompassing that it is beyond unspeakable. Both are using P.C. to destroy our freedoms, then they can destroy religions, nations and people they hate.

The future is unfathomable.

As history records no evidence of any early American explosions, I doubt this theory.

"If this is true, why the heck did they leave? "

Immigration policy was much more rational back then.

There appears to be evidence that the Americas have been visited many times Vikings, Chinese, an Irish Priest, possibly Egyptians, Jews, possibly Phoenicians, certainly some of the Pacific Islanders and was possibly settled by Northern Europeans before the Asians crossed into Alaska.

The difference is that Columbus Mapped it and others came and colonized it. The early Northern Europeans who settled were low in population numbers and had problems surviving drought and other climate changes and migrated West and apparently intermarried and blended in with the Native Americans with an Asian ancestry.
