I knew about the Barbary Wars

The only good thing Muslims have done for America is to cause the beginning of the U.S. Marine Corps!

Hmmm, the Marine Corps dates it’s founding to the establishment of the Colonial Marines in 1775. The modern Corps was reestablished during the The Quasi-War with France in 1798. The Barbary Wars didn’t begin until 1801. It did contribute a line of lyrics to the Marine’s Hymn though.
