Did Muslims Visit America Before Columbus?

And now I suppose they want "the right of return." This has something in common with the Mormon theory that Jesus came to America.

"...Muslims also invented the safety pin, didn't they?"

Wouldn't surprise me a bit.

lol

and AR Izona and AR Kansas

Portuguese cod fishermen were here fishing the grand Banks prior to Chris too.

I'm wishing now that a lot of them hadn't visited SINCE Columbus.

The significant thing about Columbus is that he helped make the relationship permanent.

 

That's a good point.  I like to tell the PC types that all humans are indigenous to eastern Africa, and everyone everywhere else migrated. The only thing different about migrations from Europe is they they has the inclination and wherewithal to keep records.

Well, that would explain the Mayas and Aztecs penchant for cutting up people while they were still alive........

And their tendency to get their primitive asses kicked

WHO CARES?

[Mr. Jazzy]

For Pete's sake!


These muslims are as bad as the cold war soviet union with their lies!!! "We did it first, but we didn't tell anyone about it!" What a bunch of crap.

If the muslims HAD discovered the western world first, there would be mosques on every corner! They are floating this LIE to justify the idea that that muslims need to TAKE AMERICA BACK for muslims because THEY had it first!

And Calypso Louiey will tell you the muslims were here first because the space wheel mothership came here, just after the finished their bases on the moon.

[stop_fascism]

That was also my first thought.

[pgyanke]

They want to establish that America was once part of the Caliphate and under Sharia law. If they can make this claim stick, they will add our country to the "occupied territory" and will wage a never ending jihad to make sure it is once again governed by Sharia.

[50sDad]

It is clear that Muslims could not have visited the Americas in advance of Columbus, because there were non-Muslim Indians left alive by the time Columbus arrived.

Don't forget the Allah-gheny mountains.

"Under the Banner of Heaven" is in re: Mormons. After I read it I was left with the impression that John Smith founded that religion so that he and his buddies could cheat on their wives and not feel bad about it b/c "it was written". Bunch of BS to me. More self-interpretation to ones own likes.

***Everybody knows Irish monks were here way before 700.******

Anyone remember an old book published back in the early 1960's? I used to have a copy. THEY ALL DISCOVERED AMERICA. I don't remember the author.

[Publius6961]

A book by a Muslim historian details the story of a Muslim navigator on a journey across the ocean to an unknown land, where they found much treasure.

This does not speak highly of the competence of the History News Network.

A book by a muslim historian which is unnamed and undated and is probably apocryphal, or flat out fraudulent?

Give me a break!

[zimdog]

I've heard that several times before and I sincerely hope it's true. But was the name coined by Columbus himself or Las Casas?

[pgyanke]

TO me its not a religious issue but a historical one...

The problem is they see it as religious. Once a land is under Sharia, it can never be otherwise. They will fight tooth and nail to "reclaim" it. This is the first salvo to change the fight from a clash of cultures to a liberation of "occupied lands". They will work hand in hand with the MSM and Mexicans and we will see the horror of Palestine before this is over...

Sinbad the Sailor?
