“Muslim culture has been woven throughout American culture from the very start”
Translation: We’re bringing a few million so get used to them, you bigots!

No matter which puppetmaster was responsible, the entire ChiComjoe kakistocracy are traitors to the United States of America.
I guess it could have been worse. Biden could have claimed that most the northern abolitionists were actually Democrats, and practicing Muslims. But they had to keep it secret.
Who knows? Maybe they’re saving that line for President Harris’ inaugural address.
(I was going to add the sarcasm tag. But we now live in a sick, bizarro world where anything is possible. History is whatever the left wants it to be.)
Ping.
Don’t get me going.
The author should also get into how actual regular “culture” is being pushed on us in general, and not just history.
All the “Months” for everyone but whites and men, etc. Growth of Mexican food push and that weirdo Day of the Dead garbage even for kids’ movies. Blech. And everywhere everything in Spanish. All to accommodate ILLEGAL aliens (it was not about legal people).
Our education system has been obliterated!!!!!
Kids learn nothing of real American History anymore...
The American education system started falling apart in 1979 when Jimmy Carter started the Department of Education...
Downhill ever since...
It’s 1984 every day.
That timing sounds about right. And the GOP has done absolutely nothing to stop it.
I believe the Clintons and their activities and enduring popularity brought an entire generation of young aspirees to Wash DC with the idea of "Damn, if I could get away with 100th of what those jokers did in terms of raw grift, I'd be in Fat City." I've come to believe that 85% of the people in Wqsh DC are there solely for the purpose of self-enrichment.
And here we sit, the so-called intellectual elite of the country, the best and brightest, cannot wait but to formulate the next piece of America Hate Theory.
Don’t worry, Kevin “deer in the headlights” McCarthy will get right on it.
Years ago, this country could’ve split peaceably. That window has probably passed by now. I’m relieved to be deep into the fourth quarter of my lifespan. Life in “America” is going to be ugly beyond description in the future.
In other words, a true American identity is being replaced by things invented out of thin air or based on physical traits or sexual behaviors. Notice that these identities focus on “self”.
I’ve been passively thinking about this recently and I have a hunch than it is related to the sin of pride. I just haven’t formulated a cogent argument yet and put it in words. Any help is appreciated.
> Our education system has been obliterated!!!!! <
It’s all very Stalinist. Stalin erased any part of history that didn’t fit his needs, and replaced it with something else.
Side story: I taught for years in an urban school district. Well, one day the school board decided to make Civics an optional class. That’s just crazy. Students no longer needed to know how our government works?
Every social studies teacher hated that idea. No matter. Civics is now an optional class. It can be replaced by World History, Africa History, etc.
Interesting article, but I’m not entirely convinced that its central premise is 100% true.
A quick internet search unveils claims that many of the slaves who were brought here from Africa were Muslims, and that some of them converted to Christianity while on the plantation, and others didn’t.
American slaves as a rule passed down their stories and African tribal and cultural traditions orally to their children, and since Islam is essentially competitive to Christianity, it makes sense (to me) that if there were Muslim slaves who carried on their faith and customs on the plantation— a form of resistance — they probably would have done so quietly, out of earshot of their owners.
Further, the dearth of evidence of early Muslim presence in America in our history books could be easily explained by the fact that illiterate slaves weren’t the ones writing them. That doesn’t mean they weren’t there.
It’s an interesting question. I’d like to see the scholars roll up their sleeves and dig into it. I’d be willing to bet there are a few heretofore overlooked nuggets in the writings of Thomas Jefferson.
Mohammedanism was fundamental to the early United States Navy and United States Marine Corps.
Of course. mohammedanism played the part of “The Enemy” in that drama ...
“Curtin’s study of the Atlantic Slave trade reveals that the bulk of the slaves were brought from the Congo basin and the Guinea coast—non-Muslim regions. A small percentage came from the Senegambia, and even those numbers would not have been necessarily Muslims as they included people brought down to the coast from the interior.
“The regions from which most of the slaves were taken was not Muslim. It did include great numbers of Yoruba and FOn and related peoples, whence the existence of Voodoo (Vodun) in Haiti and the Caribbean, and the worship of Yoruba gods to this day in Brazil and throughout the Caribbean and even the American south.”

“Muslims came to the Americas from two distinct regions. First, in the early eighteenth century the Senegambia was an avenue from which the sons and daughters of Allah were sent to the Americas.
“Later, in the early nineteenth century, captives from the Central Sudan states began to appear in the Americas. The latter group landed primarily in South America and in the Caribbean because they came, for the most part, after the prohibition on slave imports into the US.
“Nevertheless, within the boundaries of the modern United States there is eveidence of Muslim slaves in South Carolina, Georgia and Louisiana...”
