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.

Muslims also colonized the Moon in the 2nd century after building the pyramids and digging the Atlantic Ocean. BTW, Bach, Beethoven and Mozart were Muslim as were The Beatles.
NO, Columbus was not Jewish unless it was by birth, because he was a spirit filled Christian, and so were the King and Queen of Spain who sent him....his diary is not available but it was translated, and he was guided by God.
Peter Marshall, son of Chaplain Marshall of Senate in 50s??, and Catherine Marshall the writer, who wrote about and studied Columbus wrote a historical account in one of his books. (Yale)
The Avalon Project at Yale Law University is the one place you can find all DOCUMENTS related to the founding of the New World (USA)...while they are still in original form.
Of course, who knows if the next step won’t be the Democrat educators won’t try to rewrite history.
Two things have to be proven for this assertion to be correct:
1) the Song document has to be real
2) the reference to “Mu-Lan-Pi”
“The Sung Document is a work of a Chinese author circa 1178, during the Song Dynasty. It states that Muslim sailors reached a region called “Mu-Lan-Pi”, which, though normally identified as Spain, has been claimed to be some part of the Americas (specifically, present-day California.)
If the document is authentic, and furthermore if the identification of Mu-Lan-Pi with America is correct, then it is one of the earliest records of pre-Columbian trans-oceanic travel from the Eurasian continent to the Americas.
However both the authenticity of the Sung Document and the identification of Mu-Lan-Pi with America are doubtful. The historian Joseph Needham is open to the possibility but doubts that Arabic ships at the time would have been able to withstand a return journey over such a long distance across the Atlantic Ocean and points out that a return journey would have been impossible without knowledge of prevailing winds and currents. Needham states that there is no evidence that these were known five centuries before the Portuguese used them.”

I have studied Islam for over 50 years. In NONE of the books I originally had was any of this mentioned or taught.
This is part of the Islamization of America. Fight it. Fight it NOW. Do not let this in history books or common parlance and understanding. Do not think of these effort as non-sensical. They are backed with Saudi and Emirate/Qatar $$$$$$$$
Interesting stuff on that ... do a search on “Columbus and his crew were Jewish” ....
NO, read the free ‘look inside’ pages for the history of Columbus and the voyage...
All this was just before muslims discovered electricity, penicillin, blood transfusions, anesthesia, won the Civil War, gave women the vote, and put a man on the moon and invented the Internet.
All American school kids know this.
And before that the Jews discovered America, remember. So there, they still beat you! Good grief these people are impossible.
I cannot recommend any other book that should be required reading in what was known as American History...
I read it many many years ago and still reread it every couple of years...
Pretty much blows away the libtard myth of the noble savage Indian...
Bill Bennett books on American History are excellent as well
“NO, read the free ‘look inside’ pages for the history of Columbus and the voyage...”
I have no idea of what you’re saying “NO” to. Here is what happened with Columbus and the “mosque”:
Remarking on the position of the river and port, to which he gave the name of San Salvador, he describes its mountains as lofty and beautiful, like the Pena de las Enamoradas, and one of them has another little hill on its summit, like a graceful mosque. The other river and port, in which he now was, has two round mountains to the S.W., and a fine low cape running out to the W.S.W.

My word... the bogus stuff people actually believe...
In 1492 Ferdinand and Isabella threw out 200,000 Jews living in Spain after finally unifying the country after winning the war against the Ottoman empire after 400 years...
In winning that war it depleted the treasury and that was the main reason they approved Columbus to take his expedition ...to fill the coffers of the Spanish treasury again...
You think they would entrust that type of expiation to the Jews they just throw out under punishment of death ?
They must have dropped Koran off with the Aztecs.
I never knew Eric the Red, (The Viking, not the POS AG) was a Muslim..
Who knew?
They aught to at least have done some research -
Erik the Red set up a community that grew to 30,000 - in 1,000 AD
and His son, Lief Ericson, explored to whole eastern coast of North America. They tried building a settlement up the Hudson River but the first bitter winter made them change their mind. They had a summer camp on the south shore of Cape Cod.
300 years later, the Little Ice age made travel back and forth to Europe for trading, impossible - and Greenland became too cold. Research pretty much establishes they sailed down the St. Lawrence and other seaways to settle in areas of what are now southern Canada, northern New England. Ergo, the Longhouses of the Iroquois and the Mandans, further west.
Sorry, Islam - major FAIL again

What will it take to kick Turkey out of NATO?
+1.
Of COURSE it was Muslims who covered the American continents, led by Turkish sailors .... How do you think that large, foul [sic] native bird got its name ;?
you post: “Columbus was not Jewish unless it was by birth, because he was a spirit filled Christian”
Question is - what ‘spirit”?
Holy Spirit...you know Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.
Only if they didn’t know that Cristóbal Colón (Columbus’ real name) and his navigator and doctor and many of his crew were Jewish.
