Didn’t North African muslims favor a Meditteranean galley type of vessel as opposed to the cog/galleon type sailing vessel. Not saying that they couldn’t make the voyage, but exploiting such a discovery requires vessels with large volume and good sea-keeping abilities.

I got their "Islamic Heritage" right here.
To claim “muslim heritage” is standard muslim procedure. They claim to have been first in Australia (the aborigines had a town called “Mecca”), in Israel (Abraham “wished he was a Muslim”), and Obama claims they have been first in America.
These creatures are a blight that humanity will not survive.
In March 1785, Thomas Jefferson and John Adams went to negotiate with Tripoli’s envoy to London, Ambassador Sidi Haji Abdrahaman (or Sidi Haji Abdul Rahman Adja). Upon inquiring “concerning the ground of the pretensions to make war upon nations who had done them no injury”, the ambassador replied:
It was written in their Koran, that all nations which had not acknowledged the Prophet were sinners, whom it was the right and duty of the faithful to plunder and enslave; and that every muslim who was slain in this warfare was sure to go to paradise. He said, also, that the man who was the first to board a vessel had one slave over and above his share, and that when they sprang to the deck of an enemy’s ship, every sailor held a dagger in each hand and a third in his mouth; which usually struck such terror into the foe that they cried out for quarter at once.

The United States Marines have been killing muslims since 1804.
Who am I to argue with tradition?
ISLAM is part of the US’s heritage. Islamic terrorists commandeered US civilian ships. Hijackings that is. Acts of piracy. The US projected it’s military might for the first time after becoming a nation to defeat those terrorists. Since that time, Islam has claimed to been at war with the United States. So, yes, heritage. Islam plays a part, a terrorist part. Mr President, before oyu rewrite history, know this: Nobody knows history better than those of us who attended school in the US. You, sir, attended school in a Muslim Madrassa in Indonesia. You know nothing of US history other than was taught my an Imam that seeks to hate and destroy the US. You can thank me later for the lesson
mooslim credo: I love you. I will kill you and your children. Boom! Slash! Hack!
When I was stationed in Jordan in 1975-1977 I frequently visited the RJAF air base at Mafraq, Jordan. One of the waiters in the officr’s club there was from Kenya. He had been sold into slavery by moslems and had been bought by a Saudi. After living in Saudi Arabia for a number of years, he managed to escape to Jordan where slavery was not legally allowed. He said that if the Saudis ever managed to grab him and take him back to Saudi Arabia his owner could legally put him to death.

Of course we could all be wrong, then we'll have to apologize.
I already promised to apologize when anyone produces proof of a muslim, working his entire lifetime in a muslim country, having won a nobel prize in the sciences, medicine or mathematics. Just one.
Of course, I wouldn't want to give the Nobel committees ideas... in the absurd world of today, it may happen just to make muslims "feel better about themselves," as the head of NASA put it...
While the mortality rate for slaves being transported across the Atlantic was as high as 10%, the percentage of slaves dying in transit in the Trans Sahara and East African slave trade was between 80 and 90%!
Where are the images of that "mother mosque?"
Good pic/link, Nateman. Thanks to all posters/linkers/researchers/educators.
Wasnt the US Navy largely founded to go to Stop Jihad Now in the Mediterranean?>>>>>
“To the shores of Tripoli” they were sent to stop the Barbary Pirates and to stop having to pay tribute to them
I like to think of "...to the shores of Tripoli in the Marine Corps anthem...
Cheers!
The Grand Mufti set up shop in Berlin, when he went on the run from the British in Palestine.
I think it was after he'd met with Hitler and his men, in 1941, or so, that the Final Solution was planned. I don't think that was a coincidence.
Not true. Tthe Muslims were present and causing trouble.
