Correcting Wiki - No major or minor invention or discovery has emerged from the Muslim ever until recently with the invention by a Palestinian genius of the cell phone bomb.

Will the course contain a revisionist history discussion of the incident involving the 18-year-old Somali man who was shot and killed after a car and knife attack near an engineering building on the OSU campus on November 28, 2016?
11 were injured, 1 critically.

There was a FReeper list of Muslim attacks here in the US, going back to the murder of Robert Kennedy. A long one, and all Muslim related. Eye opening.

They (academia) have already created a whole alternate history for black contributions to American history, where they were the innovators and creators in every field, but credit was claimed by the evil white devils. I’m sure it won’t be difficult to do something similar for the Muzzies.

Gee, I wish Ohio had a Republican Governor who could cut the funding and stop this.

Wait a minute...

NOW I know why I haven’t sent in my alumnus donation! In my day, OSU was a fine university. Now, it’s apparently sunk to the Muzzlime butt kissing level. No donations from me to support baloney courses like this.

The Muslim role from the Founding Father’s days would be the Barbary pirates and the USMC.

Muslims gave us a fitting end to the first line of the Marine Corp hymn.

Notice they write an intricate rather than integral role... interesting given the Latin roots of the word: in (into) and tricae (tricks/perplexities).

Muslims have been an intricate part of the U.S. experience. Yeah like beheading, blowing up things, etc.

“A new class rolled out this spring at Ohio State University aims to tackle misunderstandings about Muslims in America, suggesting that from the country’s founding to modern day, Muslims have been an intricate part of the U.S. experience.”

This is true, which is why Islam is featured in the Marine Corps Hymn, in the history of RFK’s assassination, and in the 9/11 Memorial, among many other similar contributions. Every American should learn the objective facts about what Muslims have done throughout history.

Its True. Only they must clearly state what that "experience" was. They were independent America's first enemy. They helped mold our new Navy and form the Marine Corps. The words and slogans used by the Barbary Muslims 216 years ago are the same Muslim enemies are using today.

Yes, that is why they affectionately call of the ‘big snake’ and have made repeated threats to blow up the statue of Liberty.
Not to mention they hate our freedoms.

Academically her expertise is in folklore and fantasy. She does not speak Arabic, but she does read it “with difficulty.”

The only positive role muslims played in the founding of the country was providing early proof of the necessity of the Marine Corps.

This must be a new course for THE Ohio State University football players can enroll in. The textbook must be the thickness of a comic book.

LOL. They have to get the prison guards to read it to them.
When they finish with the pamphlets they send them to Fla. State.
(until the debacle with Jamis Winston FSU was one of my favorite teams)

I wonder if Ayaan Hirsi Ali will be a guest speaker.
