Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said Saturday that the Americas were discovered by Muslims in the 12th century, nearly three centuries before Christopher Columbus set foot there.

"Contacts between Latin America and Islam date back to the 12th century. Muslims discovered America in 1178, not Christopher Columbus," the conservative president said in a televised speech during an Istanbul summit of Muslim leaders from Latin America.

"Muslim sailors arrived in America from 1178. Columbus mentioned the existence of a mosque on a hill on the Cuban coast," Erdogan said.

Islamic supremacists wanna be supreme.

The muslims were busy raping goats and camels.

[Salvavida]

And Jesus didn’t die on a cross, so there wasn’t a resurrection....because Muslims say so......700 years after the FACT.

[boycott]

LOL. Muzzies never did anything but kill,be perverts, terrorists,steal, and rock worshipers.

[a fool in paradise]

By all means, with this claim they can “retake” this muslim heritage site. < /sarc >

Once muslim land, always muslim land. It’s the Islamic supremacist’s code.

[morphing libertarian]

For the queen of spain and God. Asalaam alaukim!

[driftdiver]

So during the crusades they were crossing the Atlantic in their slave ships?

That was not a mosque, it was a moose.

And it bit Columbus’s sister.

That why the Santa Maria ran aground.

Next, the Muzzies will say there is a mosque on the Rosetta comet.

Don’t you remember Imam Reagan talking about a
“shining mosque on a hill”?

Jeez, goats are smarter than these folks.

[Regulator]

Oh good, another illegal alien who claims the U.S.

[sjmjax]

Muslims! So that’s who killed off all the native Americans!

[Mastador1]

No Way, if the muslins had discovered the Americas first there would have been many many Hispanic and Native American slaves taken home for sale.

[Leaning Right]

This just in:

Erdogan says Muslims, not Americans, put the first man on the moon. According to Erdogan, this was in 1270, and was done with “a camel that could jump really high”.

[rockrr]

And yet they will encounter no protest or derision from the indians or the secularists like Christians have.

[exit82]

Of course, Erdogan would not say what caused the camel to jump so high.

Let’s just say that the camel in question did not return the sand jockey’s affections.

[exit82]

Wasn’t the charge up San Juan Hill in Cuba by the Rough Riders made to get to the mosque?

[Eric in the Ozarks]

Which accounts for the “Great Spirit” reference by the indigenous people...

[ChicagahAl]

... the conservative president...

Projection.

The Left-Stream-Media refers to hard-line totalitarians in other countries as "conservative". While in the US, the totalitarians are all liberal democrats.
