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.
Does “barack” really mean Allah’s blessing? Uck.
Muslims sure want to cause its foundering.
If he believes that America was founded on November 2, 2008, then he’s right.
Muslims did contribute to the building of America - For example they are singly responsible for the creation of the US Marine Corps....
“Decoding”. How sweet of the author to use such a happy, airy term. Kinda like when they call violent black thug rioters “mischievous” and “knuckleheads”.
More like “Debunking”.
As noted in my tagline...there were NO muslims on The Mayflower.
“Barack” means “Allah’s blessing” and is the name of the winged creature that brought the Muslim prophet Muhammad to Paradise in a journey.
“Then he [Gabriel] brought the Buraq, handsome-faced and bridled, a tall, white beast, bigger than the donkey but smaller than the mule. He could place his hooves at the farthest boundary of his gaze. He had long ears. Whenever he faced a mountain his hind legs would extend, and whenever he went downhill his front legs would extend. He had two wings on his thighs which lent strength to his legs.
He bucked when Muhammad came to mount him. The angel Jibril (Gabriel) put his hand on his mane and said: “Are you not ashamed, O Buraq? By Allah, no-one has ridden you in all creation more dear to Allah than he is.” Hearing this he was so ashamed that he sweated until he became soaked, and he stood still so that the Prophet mounted him.[2]”

Clearly, the man is a Christian. /s
If Muslims had an impact on America since its founding... it was by taking black African slaves and selling them across the Atlantic.
What was the answer to then Radical Islam? Medievel Christianity and it was absolutely necessary.
I make no distinction about Muslims. Peacable, indifferent, co-conspirators and vile actors.
Islam is a disease and it won’t be long before the world becomes the cure.
For the so called peacable Muslims, this is their problem to clean up if they truly want to be inclusive, accepting/accepted and live in peace amongst the whole human species, occupying the same planet.
They can work toward to solving the perception and reality problems and my guys don’t have to get killed trying to attrit them and remove any global religious ambitions they have.
Hindus have about 1.5 billion adherents and they don’t mess with us or anyone else.
“Nothing” from the 500 million Buddhists either.
But, Islam has been at war with the rest of humanity for 1,400 years and I am intolerant?
How so, jerk offs?
The Crusades? Christianities answer to Islam taking over the Holy Lands, Portugal and Spain.
Battle of Tours? Held Islam in check for its geographic expansion.
Queen Isabella finally, after three requests gave Christopher Columbus the money and ships to find an alternative route around The Silk Road, which was controlled by the Muslims.
In 1491 the Muslim hordes were finally removed from Europe and as a coming out party, looking for new wealth and worlds to expand the empire and trade, Chris went in search of that Alternative.
Thank God, he made a mistake and discovered America instead.
For the next 300 years, any expeditions for trade were held for ransom and the men carrying treasures, in search of revenues for their respective countries held as hostages.
Any country who sent ships into Muslim waters was taken and demand was made by the Barbary Pirates and Imams for “restitution”.
WTF were they willing to trade of value for anything we had of value? Nothing.
But, if you wanted to get your stuff across sea and then transported over land, you were going to pay heavily and the whole thing really was a lose/lose.
Now, on the day of inauguration for Thomas Jefferson he received a letter of demand for $1 million per year. Our men, treasures and ships would be given right of passage if the demand was met.
This demand was being given to every nation at that time.
Well, we had just smoked the worlds most powerful armed force and Jefferson was in no mood to be pushed around.
He sent a letter back saying we were coming and while the letter was in transport he directed the ships Enterprise and Constitution be built.
He sent those two ships to Tripoli, along with an Armada.
Without firing a shot Tripoli saw the wisdom of not engaging our ships and relented.
American then doesn’t hear a peep from Muslims until the Robert Kennedy assassination.
Around the time of Jimmy Carter Muslims are again on the rise, very much agitated and on the move around the world.
They overthrow the Shah of Iran and take our American Brothers and Sisters hostage.
Reagan comes into office and Iran must’ve got the message, as they released them freely.
For the last 35 years all we’ve heard is their belligerent Bull Shiite.
Over the last 15 I have heard over and over how they are “hurt” that we, the infidels, are in their lands.
Well, D***kheads. We made those lands, helped you explore, tried to set you up with modernity and you have been resisting the whole time.
Even now, I have idiot fellow Americans who think we should try to reason with them and understand them.
I don’t have any capacity to understand killers and will not waste time trying to break bread with them, while they are looking for the opportunity to break open my head.
Burning a man alive? In the name of your Gawd? Uhm, FK allah.
I make no apologies for my views. They are based on observable facts and an extraordinarily long period of religious intolerance, belligerence and outright desire to dominate the rest of us.
Watching in real time the events of the last 15 years ought to inform your conscience and reason should be the basis of your action.
Not some feigned emotion hoping the world will be any different than it currently is.
Those millions in Africa hacked to death for the glory of Allah? That’s a good thing right? Because a bunch of dead Christians is better than peace, the right of the individual to live, pursue happiness and improve the lot of their family.
Boko Haram is more important than 300 little girls? Well, you make sense more and more.
Al Qaeda’s observed acts, stated goals and roach like existence of glorifying death and a heaven that debases women, objectifies them and turns the idea of hope of eternal life into some macabre whorehouse. That idea is worth my respect? The hell it is.
And the latest franchise of ISIL/ISIS? Hacking the heads off reporters and the latest some Japanese guys. In addition to murdering women and children because they didn’t conform to their interpretation of Islam?
Oh yeah. I feel you man. They are beautiful people.
Christians in Iraq? Well, not anymore. The oldest churches, some nearly 2,000 years old have been destroyed.
Christians and their artifacts are now fairy tales in the so called “Cradle of Civilization”.
Don’t you remember being taught about the Pislims landing on the black rock of Plymouth? :-)
That myopic perspective is the only way his remarks make any sense.
I thought it was the sound his mother made, when she threw up!.
Ping for later.
Obama’s father and father’s ancestors lived in the East African Arabic slave-trading region.
So far as we know, his family only became Muslim with his grandfather. While it's likely that Obama has some Arab ancestry, to look at photos of the man said to be his father, it's hard to conclude that there was much.
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.
It's partly a continuation of America's policy of trying to win over moderate Muslims (really, governments don't have to follow the Koran to shade the truth when it suits their purposes), and partly a Black thing. There were slaves in the colonies from early times who practiced Islam or identified themselves as Muslims, so in a sense Islam was there early on, though in a way most Americans weren't aware of.
If you want to say that Obama's trying to turn American history upside down, I won't argue with that, but his audience for comments like this isn't you or me. It's first of all Muslims, secondly African-Americans, thirdly his own non-black supporters, and finally, bystanders who'll believe whatever he says.
Yes, agreed, however I would not be surprised at all if he believes exactly that.
The man is a pure megalomaniac.
[ Muslims did contribute to the building of America - For example they are singly responsible for the creation of the US Marine Corps.... ]
They pushed Columbus to find another way to Asia and also supplied slaves to the south.....
So TWO of the biggest things the LIBS WHINE about......
(Christopher Columbus & American Slavery)
Caused BY MUSLIMS.....
And Crickets from the LIBS....
Let’s get one thing straight. Obama has never told the truth about anything except that he was going “to fundamentally change America” into a 2nd rate Marxist economic and political shithole.
And that is just what is happening. The Republicans caved again on DHS/immigration and Net Neutrality, a creation by Marxist professor of media Robert McChesney and one of his colleagues. See McChesney’s bio at www.DiscoverTheNetwork.org, under “Net Neutrality” or his name.
www.keywiki.org also has more on his leftist background.
This was Obama’s man behind Net Neutrality, a project aided by George The KAPO Soros and his money.
