Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said Saturday that the Americas were discovered by Muslims in the 12th century, nearly three centuries before Genoese explorer Christopher Columbus claimed the discovery in the name of Spain.
"Contacts between Latin America and Islam date back to the 12th century. Muslims discovered America in 1178, not Christopher Columbus," the president said in a televised speech during an Istanbul summit of Muslim leaders from Latin America.
"Muslim sailors arrived in America from 1178. Columbus mentioned the existence of a mosque on a hill on the Cuban coast," Erdogan said.
Erdogan said that Ankara was even prepared to build a mosque at the site mentioned by the Genoese explorer.
"I would like to talk about it to my Cuban brothers. A mosque would go perfectly on the hill today," the Turkish leader said.
In an article published in 1996, historian Youssef Mroueh refers to a diary entry from Columbus that mentions a mosque “on top of a beautiful mountain” in Cuba. But the diary entry is widely understood as a metaphoric reference to a protuberance on the summit of a mountain that resembles a mosque's dome or minaret.

Christians inhabited what is modern-day Turkey before Mad Mo ever spread his pestilence, so ESAD, Erdogan.
They discovered it when they were fleeing the evil Crusaders, who were massacring piece-loving Muslims and making them use sex hormone chewing gum. In desperation, they rowed westward, and there was Cuba, where they started a new life, inventing good cigars and jazz, until Columbus came along and started desecrating the Koran.
Sure they did. then they got the Haitians to help them put a Muslim on the moon.
“[Muzzies] haven’t even discovered basic civility yet, and it’s looking them in the face all the time.”
Ding! Ding! Ding! Folks, we have a winner!
Money quote of the day! Further proof if proof were needed of the intransigent nature of Islamic supremacism, which regards civility toward muzzies by “infidels” as weakness & subservience.
UH HUH
Muslims landed on the moon in 975.
Muslims discovered America!
Good, they can be the bad guys then. It’s Muslims’ fault that indigenous people got exploited and had their land stolen, yada yada yada.
If Columbus was really a Muslim, Columbus Day would magically become respectable again. It would be the most important holiday second to MLK day.

Yeah. They supposedly invented Arabic numbers and algebra too. A lot of good it did ‘em, huh?
It’s like the La Raza types claiming Atzlan as their ancestral home. We all remember how the Aztecs would overpower their enemies by moving into town, signing up for welfare, and driving drunk.
Mulisms made air so I could breathe so they could cut my head off.
No documentation, no discovery.
You know what islamists can do with their prophet?...
The Aztecs were a bunch of cannibals, as presumably La Raza types still are.
I know for a fact Aztecs never got north of disneyland
Most now gather around San Diego state
dear Honkie arab Erdagan,
I think NOT! I have yet to be shown that the Rune language, found in the deep northwoods of New England, is anything of a variation of that left-handed chicken scratching that you call ‘a language’.
I think that you are gasping odors from somebody’s alimentary canal, and why have you not declared this in the last five millenia, before now?
The muzzies believe that Alexander the Great went WEST to where the sun sat and saw it go down in a muddy spring.

Abdullah Yusuf Ali translation:
18:86 Until, when he reached the setting of the sun, he found it set in a spring of murky water: near it he found a people: We said: “O Zul-qarnain! (thou hast authority), either to punish them, or to treat them with kindness.”
Pickthall translation:
Till, when he reached the setting-place of the sun, he found it setting in a muddy spring, and found a people thereabout. We said: “O Dhu’l-Qarneyn! Either punish or show them kindness.”
Modern English versions also now say a “dark sea”.
