“and in our intelligence communities and in homeland security.”

W. T. F.

That’s certainly true. But still shocking, to hear an American President say that. We certainly don’t have Christian Americans working for their intelligence groups. What’s even more shocking and unbelievable, is that the American people support this. No muslim should ever be considered for any position that handles classified information. That’s just beyond all rationality. You must suspend disbelief as an outsider to even come close to believing that any sane sovereign nation would do something like that.

So, you either suspend disbelief. Or, you realize all those appointments, job offers, and recruiting of said “muslims” were done through malice towards America. If the latter is true, then we are finished. Barring a purge of all moe’s in sensitive positions, near sensitive positions, friends and family of those in said positions. Basically, a total removal and deportation would be the best course. But if the government were infiltrated at these levels, there is only one possible solution.

Obama: 'Islam Has Been Woven Into the Fabric of Our Country Since Its Founding'

In all honesty, I can't think of what he's referring to except the plundering of European (including American) merchant ships and the kidnapping of their crews by the Barbara Pirates. In 1800, 20% of US government expenditures was in tribute payments to these states. In 1801 and 1815, the United States went to war with the pirates to end the tribute payments.

And one of our first military actions was against Muslim pirates.

He means the revisionist claim that African slaves imported to the US were Muslims. Given that over 90% of slaves imported into the New World were to the Caribbean and South America, it would be expected that Islamic influence would be much greater there.

The ‘narrative’ counts, not facts.

One of my Grandads came here on the Hercules in 1609. He wrote quite a bit about the trip and the subsequent times but he failed to mention all the muzzies he was with. And my next nine Grandads missed it also. Maybe they had their own boat?

“If there was not even a mosque in the US until 1929 then how was Islam here at our founding. It is a lie. There were no muslims of any meaningful number at the country’s founding.”

Wait, didn’t I hear the Rev. Al say to look up the history on Sheik Ben al Franklin?

>> but according to President Obama, “Islam has been woven into the fabric of our country since its founding.”

Ugh... we’re now in the 7th year of the Country’s mind-blowing inebriation...

Take solace in the fact that 14 centuries later, Islam has not evolved despite its proliferation.

Islam101 has a comprehensive list beginning in 1178 when they found America. Post 1539, which I think is a reasonable period encompassing the founding of our nation

1539 Estevanico of Azamor, a Muslim from Morocco, lands in Florida with the ill-fated expedition of Panfilo de Narvaez in 1527. Estevanico remained in America to become the first of three Americans to cross the continent. At least two states owe their beginnings to this Muslim, Arizona and New Mexico.

1732 Ayyub ibn Sulaiman Jallon, a Muslim slave in Maryland, is set free by James Oglethorpe, founder of Georgia, and provided transportation to England.

1790 Moors from Spain are reported living in South Carolina and Florida.

1807 United States Congress prohibits the importation of slaves into America after Jan. 1, 1808.

1807 Yarrow Mamout, an African Muslim slave, is set free in Washington DC, and later becomes one of the first shareholders of the second chartered bank in America, the Columbia Bank. Yarrow may have lived to be more than 128 years old, the oldest person in American history.

1809 Al Haj Umar ibn Sayyid is enslaved in Charleston after running away. In jail, he is visited by John Owen and taken to Blade County and placed on the Owen plantation. John Owen later became Governor of North Carolina.

1828 Abdulrahman Ibrahim Ibn Sori, a former prince from West Africa and now a salve on a Georgia plantation, is freed by the order of Secretary of State Henry Clay and President John Quincy Adams.

1839 Sayyid Sa'id, ruler of Oman, orders his ship The Sultana to set sail for America on a trade mission. The Sultana touched port in New York, April 30, 1840.

1856 The United States cavalry hire a Muslim by the name of Hajji Ali to experiment with raising camels in Arizona.

That's it, 1539 to the Civil War. Estevanico is an interesting guy, though he had nothing to do with the founding of Arizona and New Mexico. Was killed by the Zunis.

Everyone who is upset by Obama’s blatant lies might want to look into what your children and grandchildren are being taught in school, not to mention the Liberal “higher education” systems. Whole generations are being brought up on this garbage right under our noses and it gets worse every day. Our founding fathers are being trashed, scandalized and made a mockery of in the very institutions that should be teaching future generations about the miracle that is(was?) America. Our children and grandchildren are being taught that we owe the whole world reparations because we dared to leave oppression and form a free nation. Those that never shed a drop of blood or sweat or made a single sacrifice are being taught that they have a right to a “piece” of us just because.

When all these lies are brainwashed into our future leaders and producers, then all the battles ever fought for freedom and America will be forgotten. We’re just standing by and letting it happen. Perhaps we deserve what we’re going to get.
