Although he was not a founder, he was the son of one of the founders and worked alongside his father from an early age, so his words fit here.

John Quincy Adams on Islam

In the seventh century of the Christian era, a wandering Arab of the lineage of Hagar, the Egyptian, combining the powers of transcendent genius, with the preternatural energy of a fanatic, and the fraudulent spirit of an impostor, proclaimed himself as a messenger from Heaven, and spread desolation and delusion over an extensive portion of the earth. Adopting from the sublime conception of the Mosaic law, the doctrine of one omnipotent God; he connected indissolubly with it, the audacious falsehood, that he was himself his prophet and apostle. Adopting from the new Revelation of Jesus, the faith and hope of immortal life, and of future retribution, he humbled it to the dust, by adapting all the rewards and sanctions of his religion to the gratification of the sexual passion. He poisoned the sources of human felicity at the fountain, by degrading the condition of the female sex, and the allowance of polygamy; and he declared undistinguishing and exterminating war, as a part of his religion, against all the rest of mankind. THE ESSENCE OF HIS DOCTRINE WAS VIOLENCE AND LUST: TO EXALT THE BRUTAL OVER THE SPIRITUAL PART OF HUMAN NATURE.

Between these two religions, thus contrasted in their characters, a war of twelve hundred years has already raged. That war is yet flagrant; nor can it cease but by the extinction of that imposture, which has been permitted by Providence to prolong the degeneracy of man. While the merciless and dissolute dogmas of the false prophet shall furnish motives to human action, there can never be peace upon earth, and good will towards men. The hand of Ishmael will be against every man, and every man’s hand against him. It is, indeed, amongst the mysterious dealings of God, that this delusion should have been suffered for so many ages, and during so many generations of human kind, to prevail over the doctrines of the meek and peaceful and benevolent Jesus (Blunt, 1830, 29:269, capitals in orig.).

Islam has had about 10 years of peace out of 1300. Congress was so concerned about the Muslim Barbary Pirates that they commissioned the construction of the USS Constitution was the most powerful warship of the time. Cannon Balls bounced off of the New England Oak sides of the ship.

we know not all Muslims want to kill Christians and Jews

They may not want to but are obligated by their book to seek our submission or death.

Mad Mo made it so

The phrase “To The Shores Of Tripoli” in the Marine Corps Hymn refer to the conflict of 1895 when Marine Lieutenant Presley O’Bannon and his Marines
marched across 600 miles of North African desert to rid the “shores of Tripoli” of muslim pirates and rescue the kidnapped crew of the USS Philadelphia.

This historic engagement was the first Marine Corps’ battle on foreign soil.

And the US Marines have been kicking muslim butts ever since.

In recognition and in appreciation of Lieutenant Presley O’Bannon’s victory in this historic battle the Mameluke

chieftain in North Africa awarded Lt. O’Bannon The Mameluke Sword, now known as the Marine sword.

All Marine Officers now carry The Marine Sword which is the oldest weapon still in service to the U.S. armed forces.

God Bless America and God Bless The US Marines.

“If the Army and the Navy
Ever look on Heaven’s scenes;
They will find the streets are guarded
By The United States Marines.”
