When America Paid Tribute to Muslims
American Thinker ^ | 20 Nov, 2024 | Raymond Ibrahim

Posted on 11/20/2024 4:10:45 AM PST by MtnClimber

During his November 1 Friday mosque sermon at the North Hudson Islamic Center in New Jersey, CAIR official Ayman Aishat made a seemingly starting claim:

We live in America, the United States of America. Brothers and sisters, those who do not know history, not too long ago, the USA was paying the jizya to the Ottoman Caliph.

Could this be?

First, let us define jizya. In brief, it is the monetary tribute that conquered or cowed infidels pay their Islamic overlords in exchange for peace, according to Koran 9:29:

Fight those among the People of the Book [Christians and Jews] who do not believe in Allah, nor the Last Day, nor forbid what Allah and his Messenger have forbidden, nor embrace the religion of truth [Islam], until they pay the jizya with willing submission and feel themselves subdued.

And yes, Aishat is correct: once upon a time, in its fledgling youth, the United States succumbed to paying jizya to appease Muslim terrorists. That story is instructive -- not least as it includes the genesis of the U.S. Navy.

Between the sixteenth and eighteenth centuries, the Muslims of North Africa (“Barbary”) thrived on enslaving Europeans. According to the conservative estimate of American professor Robert Davis, “between 1530 and 1780 there were almost certainly a million and quite possibly as many as a million and a quarter white, European Christians enslaved by the Muslims of the Barbary Coast.” (With countless European women selling for the price of an onion, little wonder by the late 1700s, European observers noted how “the inhabitants of Algiers have a rather white complexion.”)

When they were let into Europe and the USA, everyone should have known they were jihadis.

When LORD Jesus returns and sets up His Kingdom, guess how many muslims He’s going to leave to live on earth? If you guessed exactly zero out of everything you would be correct. If you have anything to say to any muslim friends, now would be a good time.

What Every American Needs to Know About the Qur’an

William Federer talked about his book, What Every American Needs to Know About the Qur’an: A History of Islam and the United States. He used slides as he talked about the political and military aspects of the life of Muhammad and how they inform Islam.

He also responded to questions from students in the audience at the 20th annual Eagle Forum Collegians Leadership Summit from the Allison Auditorium of the Heritage Foundation in Washington, D.C

These people need to be part of the deportation plan as well. With their presence growing in our country through mass importation under Obama/Biden we are witnessing their destructive behavior on our society.

WELL DUH!!! Do you understand we're in spiritual warfare???

"MUSLIMS" ....A mass of people who carry a "holy" book that says to murder all Jews and Christians who won't bow to their prophet.

And now we're flooding them into our country and even putting them into our government!

Can American citizens be more stupid or are we trying to destroy ourselves ??? That first Muslim president Obama said he "had a plan for America" .... and it was not for our good!

The United States Navy was created to end the payment of tribute to the mohammedan Barbary Pirates.

It succeeded.

Plus the Navy has that cool motto: “Semper Fi”.

That explains all the millions Obama and others sent to Iran.

Both of you should do some reading on the Barbary Wars and remember that the Marine Corps is part of the Navy.

You should walk up to a group of Marines and call them “ sailors”.

< sigh >

I’m talking about the 1790s and early 1800s. The present-day idea of the Marine Corps as its own separate (almost) co-equal “branch of service” is largely the product of WWI.

Again, the Barbary Wars are well worth knowing about; they are the reason the United States Navy was created; the Marine Corps’ contribution to them (memorialized in that famous phrase from their hymn) was a relatively small part of a much larger operation. That phrase has, however, become the most famous reminder that we’ve been kicking mohammedan tuchus from nearly the beginning of our existence as a nation.
