Well dang -- I'll be.

I remember reading the biography of Stephen Decatur as a kid, and his adventures defeating the pirates.

I don't recall them mentioning that this was a religious war, with the Christian Americans fighting the Islamic Terrorists who thought they could go to heaven by killing Christians, and with the Americans having to save the European backsides.

Somethings never change. And somethings never seem to get reported honestly.

The Muslim faith took root in northwestern Africa in the seventh century, and for generations the region served as a base for piracy — the looting and confiscation of ships as well as the murder of crew members.

The more things change the more they remain the same. ROP alert.

I must have missed something - why do you mention Falwell here?

I thought that the Barbary pirates took Americans as slaves.

The ending didn't happen that way...according to the history channel. We still had problems with them.

It's like dealing with a play ground bully who steals your lunch money.

I found out the hard way. "If I'm nice to you...will you go away?"

" the 1797 Treaty of Tripoli declared the United States’ religious neutrality, “in an attempt to prevent further escalation of a ‘Holy War’ between Christians and Muslims.” Article XI of the treaty states that “the government of the United States of America is not in any sense founded on the Christian religion . . . it has in itself no character of enmity against the laws, religion or tranquility of [Muslims].”

But the 1797 treaty failed"

No surprise there.
