Now the Muslim Michigan voters chose to represent them in the U.S. Senate, Abdulrahman Mohamed El-Sayed, has confirmed he'll swear his oath of office holding those statements.
Muslim advocates and promoters justify the statements of hate as being instructions for "defensive" warfare.
And they cite Thomas Jefferson's ownership and study of the Quran as if he subscribed, when in fact he likely studied the book to understand the Muslim Barbary Pirates who at that time were marauding across North Africa and the Mediterranean Sea, killing travelers randomly and stealing cargoes.

They lie to our face. They laugh in our faces. And we allow them to continue to work inside our systems? Why are we doing this? We all know what the result will be and yet WE ALLOW THIS!?!?
This is why i have lost so much faith in our system and the majority of Americans in general.
Peaceful. Until the instant it isn’t.

As I have noted previously, maybe, maybe 15% of folks have a clue. The rest? They wouldn’t know who to buy a clue from.
Evil.
I’ve taken an interest in the Christian revitalization of the Arab world and Evangelism among Arab-Americans.
Here on FR, I posted last year about Thomas Jefferson’s Quran and why George Sale’s English translation was a bestseller among early American colonists in general. Will link below.
But here’s some Google summary points to consider:
• As a law student, Jefferson viewed the Quran largely as a book of law and governance rather than just religious scripture. He shelved it in the “Law” section of his personal library. He even referenced Islamic marriage and divorce customs in his legal notes for a 1772 Virginia divorce case.
• In the 18th century, educated Westerners studied Islam to better understand major global powers like the Ottoman Empire. Understanding Islamic law and culture was seen as practical knowledge for international trade and diplomacy.
• Jefferson was an avid collector of books who studied many world religions and philosophies. Reading the text influenced his expansive view of religious liberty. When drafting the Virginia Statute for Religious Freedom, he explicitly argued that civil rights should apply equally to everyone, including Christians, Jews, and Muslims.

What does the book of Joshua call for doing to the Canaanites?
Don't forget the slave trade. For centuries, Muslim Corsairs raided European coastlines to supply a slave trade eventually numbering in the millions. That trade became part of the emotional justification (however illegitimate) for the Spanish inquisition to purge the nation of anyone believed to be associated therewith. The religious demarcation became an easy means of making distinctions. The Spanish Church ran with it as a matter of social and financial power.
See post 8.
This makes me sick...
One time or another, EVERYBODY has been oppressed, distressed, subjugated, repressed, regressed and spat on by someone. Some more than others. Moving on.....🤔🙏👍🇺🇸
Yup! Ignorance? We have a YUGE surplus of it.
