Hillary raises eyebrows with Muslim claim

Were Muslims partially responsible for American independence?

Hillary Clinton raised eyebrows with a questionable claim during Sunday’s fiery presidential debate by stating Islam was always part of American history – even since the Revolutionary War.

After recycling the Khizir Khan controversy, the Democrat nominee claimed “we’ve had Muslims in America since George Washington.”

Here is what John Quincy Adams wrote about the Islamic prophet Mohammed:

He poisoned the sources of human felicity at the fountain, by degrading the condition of the female sex, and the allowance of polygamy; and he declared undistinguishing and exterminating war, as a part of his religion, against all the rest of mankind. THE ESSENCE OF HIS DOCTRINE WAS VIOLENCE AND LUST: TO EXALT THE BRUTAL OVER THE SPIRITUAL PART OF HUMAN NATURE. [emphasis in the original]


In a March 23, 1790, letter to the editor of the Federal Gazette, Ben Franklin wrote:

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.

The big thing for me was that she wanted to increase the 10,000 refugees to 65,000. That should be repeated over and over.

There is no way to properly vet them.

It should be fun to watch Hillary explain the Barbary Pirates incidents.

“Well these male chauvinist imperialist pigs invaded sovereign Muslim territory...”

[kearnyirish2]

I assumed she was talking about West African slaves; wouldn’t that make sense?

Silly-looking little disciples of hate, those two demon-infested non-Americans.

Remember that moron who was sworn in on Thomas Jefferson’s copy of the Koran? (Ellison I believe)

What the gushing media forgot to tell anyone is that Jefferson owned and read the koran (now in two-ply!) for one purpose - to KNOW YOUR ENEMY.

Even in his day, they were viscious savages trying to kill anyone who wasn’t them.

That is part of the reason why the Marines were formed and that is what the “shores of Tripoli” refers to in the Battle Hymn of the Republic... fighting the muzzies

[eyeamok]

Islam was always part of American history”

CORRECT, See Thomas Jefferson and the Barbary Pirates.

"Hillary is right. Muslims discovered America---says so in the Koran."

[Bringbackthedraft]

I’m sure Columbus had a few on his crew when he came over here in 3 ships.

Hillary’s outfit last night resembed Khomeini’s cleric garb.

[DesertRhino]

Bullcrap. The first mosque was built here in 1929. Jefferson had a Koran and red it as some sort of informative exotica from far away.
In 1786 Jefferson and Adams went to London to meet the emissary of the Barbary pirates and to see why they were attacking our ships.

They had no idea of what moslems were or how they thought. This tells me they had quite literally never met one and were clueless.

I have never seen a single documented instance of a moslem being here in that era. Not even a diplomat. Not one. Anyone else know of one?

[<1/1,000,000th%]

Muslims were enslaving Americans throughout the Revolutionary War. Maybe that’s what Hillary means.

[henkster]

Yes, there were probably Muslims in the United States during the founding of the country. But they were very small in numbers and played no significant role in establishing our independence. They certainly played no role in the writing of the Constitution or Bill of Rights, as those documents are fundamentally incompatible with Islamic Sharia law.

So like “Black History Month,” whatever role they played will be blown out of all proportion with historical reality to push a political agenda.

[jazminerose]

And we got the term “leatherneck”.

[umgud]

I don’t invite people whose teachings/commandments require them to hate and kill me into my home. Kinda like pit bulls, you never can fully trust them and I’m not a gambler.

Enough of us are so far gone we even elected a muslim.

[Reily]

You mean the Marine Corps song!

[Mouton]

Well, in fairness they was Bin Washington and Mustafa Franklin and Ali Adams.

I would love for these A holes who make these ridicules comments explain how British, Spanish and French colonial areas were comprised with Muzzies. William Penn the quaker? Lord Baltimore in MARYland, James Olgelthorpe, etc. Maybe some of the native americans were muzzies?? Doubt that. Cortez, Drake, Sierra as in Padre, Ponce Deleon on and on. Not a Bin, Mustafa, or Ali on the manifest.

Their greatest invention is the suicide vest.

[MeneMeneTekelUpharsin]

Absolute insanity.

Name said moslems
