"Hold this for me, would you?"

Here is some enlightening U.S. history of Thomas Jefferson and the Barbary Pirates (Tripoli):

That whole Barbary Coast war thing was a significant conflict in our early history. Islam
Islam is also a part of US history.
Morocco was one the first nations to fire a salute to the US flag.
Far from being a sign of respect, this was a notification that the fledgling US was no longer protected by British tribute payments to the Barbary Pirates, and the US now had to begin its own tribute payments to these parasites to protect our merchants.
We know that that eventually turned out: “From the Halls of Montezuma, to the Shores of Tripoli...”
"Hold this for me, would you?"
“It was The Moops”.
One of the preludes to WWII, was British PM Chamberlain proclaiming, "peace in our time" after his meeting with the Nazis'. Churchill was one of the few in Britain who knew better.
Today, the West is led by Chamberlains's. The blind are leading the blind. Politicians and Muslims cry 'peace, peace', when there is no peace. Taqiyya !
When we fought WWII we understood the cost of losing. The end game for us was the "unconditional surrender" of our enemies. With Islam, our goal should be no different and yet we have western governments attempting to co-exist with the evil that is Islam.
There can be no compromise with evil ideologies like Nazism or Islam - only victory or defeat!
Christians Unite!
On El Cid
On Charles Martel
On Jan Sobieski - who, after he won the battle and freed Vienna from the siege, wrote to the Pope and stated, “Veni, Vidi, Deus Vici”, meaning We came, “We saw, God conquered.”

A significant conflict. Not a contribution. Islam, the cancer, deals nothing but death. Its followers claim to love death more than life. Allah is death. Jesus said God is a God of the living. Hence, Allah is not God. He’s the devil.
And George Bush was full of falafel. islam in no way means peace.
Better, re: Europe-> Islam is part of our history, Islam is part of our present and Islam will be our future
Islam is part of our history the way Nazism was. Nazism was defeated. Islam has to be defeated too.
Islam... imprisoned Captain John Smith as a galley slave. He escaped and went on to lead the Jamestown Colony.
Islam... is the enemy in our first foreign war, the one against the Barbary Pirates that is remembered in the Marine Hymn.
That’s Islam’s contribution to American history
The Pentagon ring where my dad had his office years ago.
Friends of mine saw the plane going in.
The pilot of flight 77 had been a schoolmate of mine here in SoCal.
Were you at all surprised when you found out who the pilot was?
Or could you tell back in school?
I didn’t know him. I was surprised to find that I’d gone to school with him. He was a senior, I was a sophomore and I’d just moved to California. That year I didn’t get to know many who weren’t in my own classes. His sister was in my graduating class but I only knew her in passing.
And the establishment of an essentially permanent Navy.
the bias against a standing military died a quick death
That’s partly true. Our founders studied the Cherokee Nation constitution. This tribe had a written language and a documented formal system of government.
