Here is what John Quincy Adams wrote about the Islamic prophet Mohammed:

He poisoned the sources of human felicity at the fountain, by degrading the condition of the female sex, and the allowance of polygamy; and he declared undistinguishing and exterminating war, as a part of his religion, against all the rest of mankind. THE ESSENCE OF HIS DOCTRINE WAS VIOLENCE AND LUST: TO EXALT THE BRUTAL OVER THE SPIRITUAL PART OF HUMAN NATURE. [emphasis in the original]


In a March 23, 1790, letter to the editor of the Federal Gazette, Ben Franklin wrote:

Nor can the Plundering of Infidels be in that sacred Book [the Quran] forbidden, since it is well known from it, that God has given the World, and all that it contains, to his faithful Mussulmen, who are to enjoy it of Right as fast as they conquer it.

I have a very strong feeling that if in 1492 Trump financed a trip to ??????? and C Columbus and his 3 rowboats set off with a bunch of Shanghaied crews, HRC would be sitting on the dock telling all that the 3 ships would sail off the edge.

And algore etal would be standing by her side ...

AND, when C Columbus and his merry band returned, HRC etal would have been on that same dock to collect taxes from the adventurers...

IMNSHO.

The Marine Corps Hymn shows us how long Muslims have been involved with our history. Even at the founding of the USMC, they were just as involved in America as they are today.

“From the Halls of Montezuma to the Shores or Tripoli . . .”

“we’ve had Muslims in America since George Washington.”

fixed it:
“America has been at war with Muslims since Thomas Jefferson”, the Barbary war.

Hillary and Obama operate from the same playbook.

Muslims were active at the founding of the United States because they engineered the slave trade. It was the Muslims who captured and sold slaves in Africa. They still practice slavery in many Muslim countries.

Interesting that John Quincy Adams, considered a stalwart in the Abolitionist movement before the Civil War, had such negative comments about Islam. Maybe it’s because slavery was so prevalent in Islamic philosophy and practice.
