In eleven hundred and seventy eight
Muhammad sailed through the Hormuz strait.
He had three ships that left from Persia;
Heading out and sailing further
Than anyone had sailed before
To land upon Americas shore.

And that, my friends, is the legend of how Muslims discovered America, 300 years before Columbus. And thats great news, just in time for Thanksgiving! It means Western Imperialism is off the hook for stealing and raping the Indians land, brutally killing Native Americans with long guns and small pox and introducing everything from racism, sexism, anti-gay bigotry, and the class system to the Americas; by all rights that credit rightfully belongs to the Muslims now.
And since they have not been given any credit for it, can you blame them for wanting to kill all of us?
Oh sure, Big Guy tried to give them credit belatedly on Eid al-Fitr last August, saying:
Eid also reminds us of the many achievements and contributions of Muslim Americans to building the very fabric of our nation and strengthening the core of our democracy.
Since most people couldnt even think of one, let alone many achievements, without resorting to as Father Sarducci might say two of them being-a card tricks.

So Robert Spencer (director of Jihad Watch) was good enough to list five for us. Here they are in chronological order:
1. Getting us here in the first place: No, not discovering America, butt by blocking the eastern route to Asia. Because the fall of Constantinople to the Muslims in 1453 closed the trade routes to the East. Thus forcing Christopher Columbus to set off to find a western route.
2. Slavery: Oh yes; Muslims didnt invent slavery butt they certainly did capitalize on it: Arguably, then, if it werent for the Islamic slave industry on the African continent, there would have been no slavery in the New World, and none of the attendant national traumas that reverberate down to this day.
3. The Marines: From the halls of Montezuma to the shores of Tripoli The Marines became a permanent fixture of our fighting forces during the first war the U.S. fought against Islamic jihadists on the Barbary Coast in 1801-05.
4. A drastically weakened economy: 9-11: nuf said, I think. We experience the effects of this every day in a thousand ways, large and small in an America that is poorer, uglier, meaner, more dangerous, less productive and less efficient than it was on September 10, 2001.
5. The TSA: the TSA and the Department of Homeland Security are two new bloated and ever-growing bureaucracies, further draining the already depleted American taxpayer.
Perhaps this up-till-now oversight of Muslims proper place in history explains why they have been at war with us for the past 500 years. I dont really know how to explain the first 900 years however at least not in any politically correct manner.
So in an attempt to make amends for this slighting of Muslim accomplishments in world history Im launching a new feature Im calling:
Here are a few of my favorite entries:
1. Muslim engineer accidentally invents the wheel, still working on the concept: (h/t DeweyFromDetroit)
2.Muslim scientist in weapons lab, praying to discover cold fusion:
3. Muslims in space:
Next I suppose were going to be hearing from the Chinese, claiming that they discovered America. I guess thats plausible; how else do you explain all those Chinese restaurants?
Thats fine by me too; theres certainly enough guilt to spread around.
Why should the white man get all of it?

Yeah, I do think it’s a funny irony that Muslims WERE greatly responsible for the discovery of America,
because they are a bunch of thieving bandits and pirates that forced honest traders to find another route to their trading partners.
Kinda like when lefties insist that Obama isn’t a socialist. I say, “you’re right, his obvious ideology tends more towards being a fascist than a socialist”.
Whew! And I guess the turkey was named after one of their conquests?
In 1873 the British somewhat refined the idea by taking the intestine out of the goat first.
Bah, ha!
That’s a hoot - thanks....
