Obama recently claimed, “Islam has been woven into the fabric of America since its founding.” This is both true and false.
It is true in the sense that Islam posed a threat to America’s early existence. The North African Islamic Barbary Pirates proved to be a significant impetus towards uniting a divided colonial delegation to sign the Constitution and strengthen their Navy and Marine Corps.
The early Americans knew full well world history, which meant they were well aware that their new enemy had been invading the West since the 7th Century.
The Barbary Pirates had been attacking the West since the 13th Century and began attacking American ships after the War of Independence. Algerian Dey Muhammad declared war on the United States, creating a catalyst for two separate wars America fought against Tripoli (1801-1805) and Algiers (1815-1816).
In fact, their threat was so great that delegates to the newly formed American government urged their states to ratify the U.S. Constitution. They believed their survival depended on a strong federal union and a strong Navy to protect them from the Algerians.
In The Federalist No. 24, Alexander Hamilton asserted without a “federal navy . . . of respectable weight . . . the genius of American Merchants and Navigators would be stifled and lost.” Likewise, John Jay, in his letters, wrote, “Algerian Corsairs and the Pirates of Tunis and Tripoli” would compel the feeble American states to unite, since “the more we are ill-treated abroad the more we shall unite and consolidate at home.”
Conflict between America and Islam is centuries old. “From the Halls of Montezuma to the shores of Tripoli, We fight our country’s battles, In the air, on land, and sea;” U.S. Marines fought Muslims at great human cost. No one can forget the bravery of Marine Lieutenant Presley O’Bannon who famously, tragically, and fearlessly led Marines and mercenaries up the Nile River and across miles of desert to capture the Tripolitan port of Derna.
Nor can one forget that the ongoing conflict resulting from the Ottoman Empire’s demise continues throughout the Balkan, Crimean, Chechen, and Ukrainian regions. Centuries of strife that spanned three continents and caused the Great War and its tragic aftermath appear endless.
Obama’s claim is false if he suggests in any way that Muslims have positively contributed to American culture or history. Such a claim is historically false in its entirety, but also evidences taqqiya, Qur’an instructed deceit.
His claim also contradicts the blatantly obvious truth that no one appears to discuss.
What historians, the media, and political pundits fail to acknowledge is that Barack Hussein Obama’s ancestral legacy is rooted in the Arab African slave trade that would have been very much involved in the Barbary campaign against the West. The very enemies against which early Americans fought.
Obama’s father and father’s ancestors lived in the East African Arabic slave-trading region. Anthropologists point to cultural, mythological, historical and geographical traits to identify the meaning of names. Within the Arabic African lineage, the meaning of Barack Obama’s name is rooted in the violence of Islam.
“Barack” means “Allah’s blessing” and is the name of the winged creature that brought the Muslim prophet Muhammad to Paradise in a journey.
“Hussein” was not only Muhammad’s grandson’s name, but it indicates the status of Arab African traders and entrepreneurs who sold non-Muslims as slaves. “Obama” in Swahili means “lion” and “Osama,” which was the name of one of Muhammad’s key warriors.
Obama’s Arabic African heritage is inextricably linked to Islam, which is inextricably linked to slavery. (Muhammad’s institutionalization of slavery of non-Muslims is described inSira of Ibn Ishaqas well as other historical documents.)
The non-African and non-Arab slave traders who bought people from Muslim wholesalers for 200 years represent a mere blip in the 1400-year legacy of Islamic slave trade— a slave trade that continues today.
Yes, “Islam has been woven into the fabric of America since its founding”—as an early threat to its existence. And Islam remains as perhaps the greatest threat to America’s survival. The only difference today, is that sadly many Americans do not know, understand, and value their history and in most aspects do not resemble their 18thCentury ancestors who were united against a visible enemy.
Too many Americans willfully choose to be ignorant. They refuse to demand their government protect them from threats both foreign and domestic, including removing Jihad training camps from American soil and removing a member of the Muslim Brotherhood from the White House and his colleagues who fund America’s enemies. 18th Century Americans responded with great sacrifice to the cry, “The British are Coming, The British Are Coming!”
Today, however, Americans who redefine the cry issued by “moderates” as “peaceful,” “Allah is our objective. The Prophet is our leader. The Qur’an is our law. Jihad is our way. Dying in the way of Allah is our highest hope. Allahu akbar!” do so to their detriment, enabling imminent and inevitable destruction to their country.
Yep.
I’m actually going to add a bit more content to this and properly format it, so the real history is unmistakable and making it more compelling to read...
Muslims disgust me.
The who say nothing, which is 98% of them, give silent imprimatur to the others acting out as proxies on their behalf as they reach the pinnacle of their vileness...
Excellent post.
More please.
Some of the slaves were muzzies.
The pre-1776 Muslim presence in the US would have been miniscule--some of the slaves imported into the colonies came from Muslim areas of Africa and may have retained their beliefs over here, but I doubt they would have passed them on to future generations. Of the "five pillars of Islam," only one would have been practical to observe (the statement of belief that there is no God but Allah and Muhammad is his prophet). The public prayer five times a day, the pilgrimage to Mecca, the observance of fast from sunrise to sunset during Ramadan, and the giving of alms--those would have been impractical. How would they have kept track of when Ramadan was, or labored all day with no food?

There was a reason the Founders thought a Natural Born Citizen should be born of 2 American citizens.
Barry is loyal to his vision of America, which was influenced by his Muslim fathers and his communist mother/grandparents.
Barry loves their vision of what America should be.
began attacking American ships after the War of Independence

Nope American ships from “New Netherland” were attacked and captured and sailors and passengers held for ransom during the 1600s ...
Excellent post!

Dear Mr. Obama:
Were those Muslims that were in America when the Pilgrims first landed? Funny, I thought they were Native American Indians.
Were those Muslims that celebrated the first Thanksgiving day? Sorry again, those were Pilgrims and Native American Indians.
Can you show me one Muslim signature on the: United States Constitution?
Declaration of Independence ?
Bill of Rights?
Didn’t think so.
Did Muslims fight for this country’s freedom from England ? No.
Did Muslims fight during the Civil War to free the slaves in America ? No, they did not.
In fact, Muslims to this day are still the largest traffickers in human slavery. Your own half-brother, a devout Muslim, still advocates slavery himself, even though Muslims of Arabic descent refer to black Muslims as “pug nosed slaves.” Says a lot of what the Muslim world really thinks of your family’s “rich Islamic heritage,” doesn’t it Mr. Obama?
Where were Muslims during the Civil Rights era of this country?
Not present.
There are no pictures or media accounts of Muslims walking side by side with Martin Luther King, Jr. or helping to advance the cause of Civil Rights.
Where were Muslims during this country’s Woman’s Suffrage era?
Again, not present. In fact, devout Muslims demand that women are subservient to men in the Islamic culture. So much so, that often they are beaten for not wearing the ‘hajib’ or for talking to a man who is not a direct family member or their husband. Yep, the Muslims are all for women’s rights, aren’t they?
Where were Muslims during World War II?
They were aligned with Adolf Hitler. The Muslim grand mufti himself met with Adolf Hitler, reviewed the troops and accepted support from the Nazi’s in killing Jews.
Finally, Mr. Obama, where were Muslims on Sept. 11th, 2001?
If they weren’t flying planes into the World Trade Center , the Pentagon or a field in Pennsylvania killing nearly 3,000 people on our own soil, they were rejoicing in the Middle East . No one can dispute the pictures shown from all parts of the Muslim world celebrating on CNN, Fox News, MSNBC and other cable news network’s that day. Strangely, the very “moderate” Muslims who’s asses you bent over backwards to kiss in Cairo , Egypt on June 4th were stone cold silent post 9-11. To many Americans, their silence has meant approval for the acts of that day.
And THAT, Mr. Obama, is the “rich heritage” Muslims have here in America ...
Oh, I’m sorry, I forgot to mention the Barbary Pirates. They were Muslims.
And now we can add November 5, 2009 - the slaughter of American soldiers at Fort Hood by a Muslim major who is a doctor and a psychiatrist who was supposed to be counseling soldiers returning from battle in Iraq and Afghanistan .
Also, don’t forget the Boston Marathon bombing on April 15.2013 was done by 2 Muslim Brothers. That, Mr. Obama is the “Muslim heritage” in America
EVERY AMERICAN AND CANADIAN MUST READ THIS !!
Be sure to SEND IT TO ALL.
Muslim Heritage, my ass.
I’ve see “Barak” translated as “Lightening” - the name of the horse Mo road to Paradise after the assassins got through with him in Medina.
That would account for all those herds of wild mustang camels running loose in places like Wyoming and Montana today.

Austin, Texas Feb. 23, 2007.

The Puritans who colonized New England would disagree with that.
The Quakers who colonized the middle colonies would disagree with that.
The Anglican cavaliers who colonized the southern colonies would disagree with that.
The Scotch-Irish presbyterians who colonized the back country would disagree with that.
Obama knows full well the indoctrinated victims of public schools have no idea who the barabary pirates were, who the slave traders were, or what the “Shores of Tripoli” means.
That arrogant pos probably doesn’t know it either
