Were Muslims partially responsible for American independence?
Hillary Clinton raised eyebrows with a questionable claim during Sunday’s fiery presidential debate by stating Islam was always part of American history – even since the Revolutionary War.
After recycling the Khizir Khan controversy, the Democrat nominee claimed “we’ve had Muslims in America since George Washington.”

I looked it up and the best I could find was some guy names Ali something was listed as being with the Continental Army. It was a pro-Islam site so I have reservations about the accuracy.
If there were muslims here, it was nothing more than a handful. I also know of several former muslims who haven’t changed their names.
Interesting. So will you please tell us where Columbus landed in America? You are about to change history if you have been sitting on that information!
Columbus never landed here.
The only influence muslims had was creating the Marines to go over there and stop them from enslaving Americans, the Barbary pirates.
Maybe some of the native americans were muzzies?? Doubt that.

Exactly! Hillary is FOS. She should be made to name some of those great muzzie founding fathers.
“Yes, there were probably Muslims in the United States during the founding of the country. But they were very small in numbers and played no significant role in establishing our independence.”
Ive never seen or heard of any documentation of this claim. Zero.
Maybe converts to Christianity, remember Columbus’s voyage was right after thru final act of the Reconquista - the taking of the last Moorish state, Granada.
Beat me to it.
Sing her the Marine Hymn. Point out where Tripoli is.
This is what should be considered for immigrants from those countries which follow Islam.
These are not lovers of America. Their allegiance is to Mohammed the murderer.
It is a problem. And until we get the title "religion" removed...and state what it really is....a political system engaged in total domination by force.
Isn’t that the same thing?
My mistake - thank you
Also Columbus never came to the land that would become the USA. he hit the Caribbean and Central and South America.
He never came here.
She was just repeating a Muslim lie from that Muslim Obama.
Maybe some in New York City, it was an international port. So sailors either tired of sailing or just jumping ship could mean a few here and there from almost any port in the world that engaged in international trade. I remember reading about colonial NYC even having a few Chinese.
Nope!
wasnt that plymuoth rock?
Or was that Vasco Di Gamma...?
Liz, I was in the supermarket yesterday and I looked up and saw a muzzie with a dyed red beard in front of me. Whenever I see that bit of radical islam I think about reporting him to the police. To me it is like seeing a teenager back in the late 90s wearing a duster coat - a sign of radical, psycho behavior. Of course, the cops in my area are always, always asleep at the switch.
There she goes again. A Reagan line, but appropriate.
We should put together a list of her lies last night, from guns to coal mining, muslims and on-and-on.
To his credit, Trump pointed out the “gold standard” lie from the first debate. She’s not used to being corrected.
Yeah I know, once on vacation in the Caribbean I stood at the spot where he supposedly first made landfall.
Who cares if they are vetted? Importing Islam into America is planting a time bomb here like what is happening to Europe. We decide who gets to come here, not the “migrants” and their stooge politicians like Hillary and No Borders Paul Ryan.
“The big thing for me was that she wanted to increase the 10,000 refugees to 65,000. That should be repeated over and over.”
Fact checked by CNN post debate, and they admitted it was true.
I agree with you but Trump cannot say that. He’s trying to win an election.
