American Muslims: A History Revealed (PBS TV series)
PBS ^

Posted on 05/20/2026 9:25:46 PM PDT by UnwashedPeasant

The six-part documentary explicitly claims that Muslims played a notable, often-overlooked role in U.S. history. The framing is not just that Muslims were present, but that they were โ€œintegralโ€ to the American story. It presents this as "untold histories" and "reexamines well-known chapters of U.S. history through stories often overlooked," emphasizing that Muslims have been part of American life since before or during the nation's founding โ€”โ€” not as central political founders, but as a presence in the population and in intellectual/religious freedom debates.

You can call it the “Atlanticist Media” which includes the BBC, CBC in Canada, US mainstream media, et... - they are all united in their non-stop and even increasing their narrative of Muslims as victims, Muslims as creators, Muslims as your neighbors.

This use of Islam as a political weapon and social-engineering wedge seems absolutely critical to their maintenance of power and future plans for the west..

You know that liberal PBS will sugar coat the heck out of its interpretation of the Islamic worth to the US. I suspect it will be a Propaganda piece, nothing more.

If it weren’t for Muslim savagery Columbus wouldn’t have discovered the New World while seeking a Westward passage to the East.

BS Propaganda alert!

Adams, Jefferson, and Madison are probably rolling over in their graves because of this stinking crap...

In a new Netflix documentary, Thomas Jefferson will be seen praying to Mecca five times a day.

"Hey now! This country was founded by islam."

Glad you've acknowledged that fact! Did you also know that Whiteyโ„ข stole all the things invented by Musloids including radio, TV, the electric light, the airplane, train and automobile, nuclear power and the space shuttle? In fact, everything in America is the result of the superior intelligence and innovative thinking of Musloids!

The same is true in Europe, where Ludwig von Mohammed, Mohammed bin Voltaire, Ahmad Sebastian Bach, Abdul Mohammed Picasso and many, many other Musloids built Europe's cultural legacy, along with the proud inhabitiants of Wakanda.

There were very, very few MooseLimbs in the USA until AFTER the Vietnam war ended in 1973. It accelerated in the 1990’s when the Soviet Union collapsed (Bill Clinton nudged the door and Chimp Bush widened it further) and then the stampede really took off when Hussein Obama took power and opened the flood gates. We saw what Mayorkas did under Puppet Biden.

And now you know the rest of the story.

I was just going to ask, “Are taxpayers still funding this tripe?”

Unacceptable. This is a relatively easy thing to deal with, but it hasn’t been dealt with. ๐Ÿคฌ

It’s true. The Barbery Pirates (muzzies) were the catalyst for Jefferson creating the US Navy. Thank you muzzies!

Might have been founded because of Islam. The overland merchants who were bringing goods from CHYNA were getting slaughtered by Muslims. The European armies protecting them were slaughtered too. They had to find another route. This created the great sailors, Magellan, Vasco DeGama, etc. Columbus was going another way when he came upon a different continent.

The plants in Detroit and Dearborn opened up to the Arabs way back.
