How many wars have we already fought against them?
There was no D.C., to speak of, at the time of George Washington, who died in 1799. The national capital was first in New York City and then in Philadelphia during Washington's Presidency, with a brief refugee period in Princeton, N.J.
The District of Columbia was authorized by legislation in 1790. John Adams was the first President to reside there (as little as possible) beginning in 1800.
In summary, any Moslems resident, during George Washington's lifetime, in the area that is now D.C. would almost certainly have been plantation slaves.
Thanks for correction. Im glad that somebody is keeping an eye on me.
We have NEVER fought a war against Mooslims. MOOslims are agents of peace. The bad guys have nothing to do with TRUE Isalam, and its command to kill infidels.
Yep, more than were ever brought to North America from Africa as slaves. Although the total number of eventually were a greater number by births.
Extremely few, and what is of most relevance, making no appreciable contribution to the creation and development of this great country. Liberals are trying to propound this huge LIE that Muslims have been IMPORTANT to this country from the beginning, and that is simply b.s.
The main aspect of Muslim interactions with the USA before recent decades was all the piracy and enslavement practiced by the “Barbary Pirates” in the late 18th/early 19th centuries.
Truthfully, the US did bring back some Barbary pirates for hanging. But it remains to be seen if afterwards they contributed to our land by fertilizing it; or if they were dumped at sea to feed the fishies.
Does she know we fought the Libyan pirates back then? Does anybody?
This reminds me of the young boy who asked his father why was there no muslims on Star Trek. The father replied “...because it’s in the future.”
We can only hope that art imitates life.
You did ask! I don’t think we can have too many largely-irrelevant historical facts ;-).
I graduated high school in 1964. We had a Muslim girl for
an exchange student that year. I had never heard the word
“Moslem” nor did I know a thing about it. She was a nice
girl, at least outwardly; but she had a real problem in our
school just finding something she could eat at lunch. The
cafeteria did not quit serving hot dogs,a mainstay.
I hope that Mine’ found Christ. She went back to Turkey &
married a Muslim guy her parents chose for her. She died
several years ago.
I remember in Ben Franklin’s biography when he was discussing freedom of religion, he said that if a Muslim wanted to preach here, he’d have that right. If Muslims were here, he wouldn’t have said that.
Treason
Didn’t Mohammed Atta sign the Declaration of Independence or something like that? Why else would I know that name?
Yeah, three of four, no doubt about it.
I've heard rumors that George Washington's horse was a Muslim........
Kunta Kinte from Roots was supposedly Muslim. Another slave said when he refused pork fat, “Oh, you be one o’them Guinea-men what don’t eat Poke”.
