HOW AMERICA'S FOUNDERS FELT ABOUT MUSLIMS

Here’s a History Lesson For Obama on How Our Founders REALLY Felt About Muslims

President Obama has repeatedly tried to affix Islam to the earliest reaches of our nation’s history. In fact, the president said that Islam is “woven into the fabric of our society.”

This may perhaps be true, although not necessarily in a good way. In fact, maybe Obama needs a history lesson as to just how the followers of Muhammad have integrated themselves into American society

Historian David Nix looked to find the first of the many “great contributions” our president has talked about.

He found the first “great contribution” in 1856, when Secretary of State Jefferson Davis imported a single Muslim to train camels in the American desert. (Davis would, a scant six years hence, become the lone president of the Confederate States of America. I’m not saying, I’m just saying.)

However, before that, Muslims did manage to “weave” themselves into American history, in much the same way that moths manage to “weave” their way into your sweaters.

You may not have heard of America’s first war post-independence. Or, perhaps, you may not know why the phrase “the shores of Tripoli” appears in the Marines’ Hymn.

Well, it just so happens that, in the early years of the republic, U.S. ships weren’t under the protection of the British or French, and the United States had little in the way of a navy. This made the ships subject to Muslim piracy from what was known as the Barbary Coast.

During the period, the Muslim states refused to deal with a Christian nation like the United States, but agreed to allow them to pay a “safe passage tax.”

When this even failed to sate them, the United States dispatched a dream team of ambassadors, which even then failed to make right with the Islamic states.

“The ambassador answered us that [the right] was founded on the Laws of the Prophet, that it was written in their Koran, that all nations who should not have answered their authority were sinners, that it was their right and duty to make war upon them wherever they could be found, and to make slaves of all they could take as prisoners, and that every Mussulman who should be slain in battle was sure to go to Paradise,” Jefferson wrote of the negotiations.

So, yeah — while they may be woven into the fabric, it’s a thread we might wish to excise.

As for the principles of the Quran, the founding fathers weren’t terribly enamored of them, either.

John Adams, who had his own translation commission, described the book thusly: “This book is a long conference of God, the angels, and Mahomet, which that false prophet very grossly invented; sometimes he introduceth God, who speaketh to him, and teacheth him his law, then an angel, among the prophets, and frequently maketh God to speak in the plural,” Adams wrote.

“Thou wilt wonder that such absurdities have infected the best part of the world, and wilt avouch, that the knowledge of what is contained in this book, will render that law contemptible.”

The last book I saw get that scathing a review was “Fifty Shades of Grey.”

Benjamin Franklin did not quite think it a page-turner, either.

“Nor can the Plundering of Infidels be in that sacred Book (the Quran) forbidden, since it is well known from it, that God has given the World, and all that it contains, to his faithful Mussulmen, who are to enjoy it of Right as fast as they conquer it,” he wrote. (H/T Mad World News)

So, there you have it — what our founding fathers really thought of the Quran and Islam. Far from being “woven into the fabric” of America, they mostly represent an unfortunate bleach stain on a good shirt.

That’s not to say that it might change, but I’m not holding my breath.

My comments: Islam is a False Religion emanating from the Koran that Commands Jihad against EVERYONE, including its own.
