Muslims think the entire world was Islamic and that they are just taking back what belong to them at some point in the past.

How long is it? (word count)

Sounds like a good thing we should make into an audio book for more convenient consumption. I have taken a look around, and don’t see an original source so far for Quincy’s work.

Irony is that Hussein Obama was sworn in on Thomas Jefferson’s Quran, that Jefferson used to learn about the muzzies in order to battle them.

You can find references to it searching for John Quincy Adams 1827 “Essay on Turks”. You might find it at the link below but the publication is over 800 pages

lunt, Joseph (1830), The American Annual Register for the Years 1827-8-9 (New York: E. & G.W. Blunt), 29:267-402, [On-line], http://www.archive.org/stream/p1americanannual29blunuoft

The Quincy Adams speech Americans should read is the July 4th 1821 oration, ending with...
“ America goes not abroad in search of monsters to destroy...”

Thank you. Yes, all roads do seem to lead back to this “Annual Register”, which is unfortunate.

The writing does exist in the proper time period, but it doesn’t appear as an essay. It’s a part of the whole of Chapter 10, and there is no attribution that I can find to where that middle part of Chapter 10 was contributed by Adams.

To say this more plainly, the author appears to be Joseph Blunt, not John Quincy Adams. I have been hoping to find something else that actually says Adams is the author, but nothing so far.

I have found plenty of people who claim Adams wrote it, but how did they arrive at that?

I don’t see a bridge between one and the other.

Here is that oration. It caused quite a stir at the time.

Just as Yuri Bezmenov tried to warn us about Communism, Adams did the same with regard to Islam. Few believed them at the time or gave them their due recognition. Now we find ourselves at the precipice of falling victim to both these evils of which these two insightful oracles tried to warn us.

Obama is a skid mark on this nation. A disgusting tyrant who only worshiped himself and his own glory. He is the most evil president we ever had who gave us Biden, who is the most destructive. He truly did “fundamentally transform” America.
