I think HipShot is taking a look at it.
I recognized some words....but the online translator is not helping.
They're taking credit for everything but the sunrise, it looks like.
Are there any links to information about the muslim discovery claim?
From a newsletter:
Native American Muslims
The Message, July 1996
My name is Mahir Abdal-Razzaaq El and I am a Cherokee Blackfoot American Indian who is Muslim. I am known as
Eagle Sun Walker. I serve as a Pipe Carrier Warrior for the Northeastern Band of Cherokee Indians in New York City.
There are other Muslims in our group. For the most part, not many people are aware of the Native American contact with
Islam that began over one thousand years ago by some of the early Muslim travelers who visited us. Some of these
Muslim travelers ended up living among our people.
For most Muslims and non-Muslims of today, this type of information is unknown and has never been mentioned in any
of the history books. There are many documents, treaties, legislation and resolutions that were passed between 1600s and
1800s that show that Muslims were in fact here and were very active in the comunities in which they lived. Treaties such
as Peace and Friendship that was signed on the Delaware River in the year 1787 bear the signatures of Abdel-Khak and
Muhammad Ibn Abdullah. This treaty detailes our continued right to exist as a community in the areas of commerce,
maritime shipping, current form of government at that time which was in accordance with Islam. According to a federal
court case from the Continental Congress, we help put the breath of life in to the newly framed constitution. All of the
documents are presently in the National Archives as well as the Library of Congress.
If you have access to records in the state of South Carolina, read the Moors Sundry Act of 1790. In a future article,
Inshallah, I will go in to more details about the various tribes, their languages; in which some are influenced by Arabic,
Persian, Hebrew words. Almost all of the tribes vocabulary include the word Allah. The traditional dress code for Indian
women includes the kimah and long dresses. For men, standard fare is turbans and long tops that come down to the
knees. If you were to look at any of the old books on Cherokee clothing up until the time of 1832, you will see the men
wearing turbans and the women wearing long head coverings. The last Cherokee chief who had a Muslim name was
Ramadhan Ibn Wati of the Cherokees in 1866.
Cities across the United States and Canada bear names that are of Indian and Islamic derivation. Have you ever wondered what the name Tallahassee means? It means that He Allah will deliver you sometime in the future.

Thank you. My reality is somewhat different. My family has been in north GA, east TN, and w NC for 300 + years with the Cherokee as neighbors. What planet is this from?
A LOT OF files.
Yes. Was there something particular that we're looking for in this mess?
The way history is blindly being rewritten is very scary.
you will find it on the history sites, where they talk about how great they are.
i stumble on it every so often.
