abu: "It may seem like the terrorist war against the United States is only a few weeks old,"

The otherOne: """I just don't get this sentence. Who thinks terrorism against the US is only weeks old?""""

Check the article date.

It was written in 2001 .. just after 9/11
thus the "few weeks"

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].”

This line, as I understand it was an unauthorized addition by one of the diplomats tangentially involved in the negotiation of the treaty. He might have been merely the scribe.

In any event, it's remarkable that no on caught the embarrassing addition to all the copies of the treaty for decades!

It goes back even further. The Greeks were Moslem slaves for hundreds of years. Western Civilization owes its life to the Orthodox peoples who staved off the Moslem horde the best they could.

I have been saying this all along. We were studying pirates around the time of 9/11. By coincidence I got a video on the Barbary Pirates and wouldn't be surprised if that was part of it. Talk about carrying a grudge!
The other day my husband said he remembered a story about a guy who gathered 1000 of these types abd shot them with bullets covered in pig blood. We didn't have a problem for a century.

Indeed, those who do not study History are doomed to repeat it. Islam has a long history of being the Religon of Piracy and the Peace of the graveyard.
