In studying historical events, there’s a tendency to apply a “what if” analysis. This involves pondering “what if” some other influence had intervened and whether it could have resulted in a more favorable outcome.
For example, what if Colonel George Custer had waited for the reinforcements which were already on the way to assist him before charging into the Battle of the Little Big Horn? Or what if the captain of the Titanic had opted to hit the iceberg straight on rather than trying to glance off its side? Or what if a German soldier during World War I named Adolf Hitler had been killed on the battlefield rather than merely wounded?
In this vein, what if two influential people, who lived in separate eras in history, had lived during the same time frame? Would they have influenced each other in some way?
Take, for example, President Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826), born in the Virginia Colony, and English journalist and poet Rudyard Kipling (1865–1936), born in British India. What if both were able to share insights with each other into a topic of mutual interest—Islam?
It is well known that one of the most knowledgeable presidents in U.S. history on Islam was Jefferson. Having a curiosity about the religion, young law student Jefferson purchased a 1734 translation of the Quran in 1765 that today is part of the Library of Congress collection.
While in London in 1786, Jefferson earned a quick education from Tripoli’s Muslim ambassador when he queried him as to why his Barbary Coast pirates were attacking U.S. merchant ships for no reason. The ambassador did not hesitate to make the bold declaration that, as Muslims, it was their right and duty to make war on non-Muslims and to enslave them as prisoners.

Thank you very much and God bless you.
Muslim illegal invaders should be among the first to be deported.
Islam is incompatible with civilization.
We know what has to be done.
Any legalized religion that does not promote Love for God and mankind is not compatible with democracy. That includes many claiming to be Christian.
This is very ancient news.
Islam is incompatible with civilization.
We know what has to be done.
Islam Is Incompatible with anything.
Yes. But so many have not learned the lessons of history.
Islamists are Deep State’s Hessians.
We need to get rid of Deep State.
Ender Wiggin knows.
There should not be one mosque in the USA.
islam is a totalitarian death cult founded by a child rapist.
I keep telling people:
Nazi’s:
- Supremacist ideology
- Conquers by war
- Eradicates Jews
- Hate homosexuals
- Responsible for the murder of millions
Islam:
- SAME AS THE NAZI’S
+ Intends GLOBAL domination
+ Comes with Sharia Law
+ Moral ‘crimes’ are death penalty
Yet if you discuss ‘Nazi’s’ there’s an allowed, if not required, explicit negative perception. If you discuss Islam you’re required to imply the positive, otherwise you’re an ‘Islamophobe’.
The Nazi’s had nothing on Islam, Islam is far worse. That the west refuses to recognize this seems to be some sort of hazy spell over everyone. It’s bizarre.
Simply making this assertion is evidence of this spell...OF COURSE it isn’t compatible. How is this still even a question? Listen carefully to Islamic scholars and they’ll tell you what the goals of Islam are.
Thank God our government is a republican type, not democracy.
so is feminism ...
Yes it is James Zumwalt. Yet jihad continues apace. Islam’s current advances are greater mow than at anytime in their history. Civilization shrugs.
Islam has been anti-Democracy since well before Tripoli. Islam is taylor made for oppression and tyranny.
I’m going to Epic City, Epic City here I come
I’m going to Epic City, Epic City here I come
They got some crazy little women there and I’m-a gonna get me one
I would say that the Leftist vision of “democracy” is even more incompatible with democracy.
