The usual claims relate to Luis de Torres Columbus' translator since he spoke Arabic. Hebrew, Portugese, Aramaic claiming Jewish conversos were Muslim. A slave, Estevanico, was shipwrecked off Florida in the early 16th century, traveling through the southwest to Mexico City. No doubt some slaves were Muslim.

Can't see the relevance of this to HRC's claim about Muslims "here" at the time of George Washington. This connects to Spanish America, not to the English colonies that later became the US and not to the earliest days of the United States in the late eighteenth century.

Can anyone name a single Muslim who played any role at all in the founding of the United States?

It's clear that HRC's statement is nothing but pandering to current-day Muslims.

No Muslims were involved in a positive way in the founding of the United States. And the surrent practice of claiming Islam was common among slaves is simply a modern revisionist lie. There were a few, true, but they were almost celebrities by their oddity.

Pandering to Muslims is 'money in the bank' for the Clinton types... the ME is awash with CASH for 'speeches'...

The only thing around at the time of George Washington were the Barbary pirates which I think Thomas Jefferson finally dealt with. But they were not in America except for their emissary.

The Barbary pirates gave Thomas Jefferson a convenient enemy to boost his approval ratings. This was all worked out in advance, of course./s

Uh... Duh..., let's see.... The Muslims helped fund the first decent U.S. navy because Pres. Thomas Jefferson decided to raise one to stop the depredations of the Muslim Barbary pirates. Maybe that's what Hitler meant.

No, but the Democrat Left always redefine history to suite themselves via propaganda.

One of the soldiers rowing Washington across the Delaware was Muslim.( sarc.).

After all, Utopia is just around the corner?
