Hey, y'all down there in Texas! Did you know that the Alamo really was Islamic?
That stunner was included in a letter to state education officials warning them against the "false history" that some interests are trying to inject into the state's history.
"It has come to our attention that an extensive lobbying effort is underway to have the Texas State Board of Education (SBOE) alter curriculum standards in a way that would diminish American and Texas history," Rep. Brandon Gill, R-Texas, and other Texas Republicans wrote to education officials.
"The petitioners' efforts claim that Islam influenced our founding, culture, and way of life. For instance, the (board) recently responded to public testimony asserting that the Alamo is an Islamic building
Members of the Islamic community long have demanded positive portrayals of their religion, which advocates for the beheading of those who are not what the Founding Fathers would have known as "Mahometans," to the point some have claimed that Muslims were active and integral in the founding of America. There is no evidence for that, although the Founding Fathers did provide protections for religion in their work.

They were speaking Islamic Spanish.
Wasn’t the Alamo built by the Spanish, as they conquered Mexico, and came up across the Rio Grande to spread CHRISTIANITY.
There was ZERO Mohammadean or Islamic influence. Other than to FIGHT them.
WTF?
Look! Stone arches! Stone towers! Sloped tile roof!
The 4x original enclosures surrounding the door are for statues. EXPLICITLY forbidden by Islamic law!
Well, a lot of Spanish words beginning with al- are of Arabic origin (like “alcohol” and “algodon” [cotton]), so why not Alamo?
Deport everyone of these cretins and anyone else that supports this nonsense, citizen or not.Enough of this crap from sand people.
Well, Alamo Ackbar.
Question is, when the battle starts, which side is in the Alamo and which is outside.
“While not an Islamic building, the Spanish colonial architecture used for the Alamo was influenced by the 700+ years of Moorish (Islamic) rule in Spain, which included design elements like arches or geometric patterns.””
Not only that the 15 families and their garrison of soldiers that came in May of 1731 from the Canary Islands and the Basque country of Spain were a significant percentage of North African DNA again because of the Moorish rule for 700 years and the Canary Islands being 100 ish miles off the shore of Morocco. This can be easily confirmed by DNA testing of their blood descendants. They were however not practising Islam at all they were people leaving a previously conquered land. What’s really going to trigger them is the same group also has about equal DNA of Sephardic Jews a group also who left a mark in Spanish DNA the word Sephardic literally means Spanish in Hebrew.
Our 300th anniversary for the arrival of those 15 families at l the presidio de Bexar is in May of 2031 many Canary & Basque descendents will be there celebrating the tricentennial. This one included who has 10% North African Arab DNA and 9% Sephardic Jew from both the Canary Islands and the Basque country. We have land grants and ship records from well into the 1600-1700s the DNA just backs up what we already knew.
Oh and I have a 300 year old written recipe for chili con carne lit. Chilis & Meat slew which Anglos now call chilli it’s the original version brought here from the Canary Islands.
Did you know that the Alamo really was Islamic.
Couldn’t be some people in the area are still alive.
"came up across the Rio Grande to spreadCHRISTIANITYCatholicism"
They were the bad guys & still are. High time ( past time actually) that we got every last one of them out of our USA.

(gives both explanations)
Leatherneck Magazine (this text no longer available online):
“leatherneck: A U.S. Marine. (The Marine uniform originally had a leather-lined collar.) Since the days of the Barbary pirates, U.S. Marines have called themselves “leathernecks.” Legend and lore have it that the term leatherneck was derived from leather neckbands worn in the late 1700s to protect Marines from the slash of the cutlass. Another more likely reason is that the high stocks were worn for discipline to keep the Marines’ heads high and straight. Neither explanation has ever been verified. Whatever the reason, the name leatherneck stuck and the distinctive dress blue uniform blouse still bears a high stock collar to remind Marines of the leatherneck legacy. Leatherneck: Magazine of the Marines.”

Your choice.
Not really a choice, the myths or the National Museum of the Marine Corps.
“The National Museum of the Marine Corps is the historical museum of the United States Marine Corps.”
The AllahMo.
Go with the older version, whichever that is.
History likes to “discover” new things and contradict existing ideas; newer materials tend to be more politically correct.
For crying out loud it isn’t some lefty blog, it is the Marine Corps museum doing real history.
“Our Navy was founded because of the muslims.”
Not exactly, as those were founded in 1775, long before our troubles with the Barbary pirates. What the pirates did cause was convincing Jefferson to build more powerful frigates instead of the original idea of small gunboats.
You are talking about the old Continental Navy that was formed in 1775 to disrupt supply lines to the British forces.
