The first of the Crusades began in 1095, when armies of Christians from Western Europe responded to Pope Urban II’s plea to go to war against Muslim forces in the Holy Land. The Crusades were a direct response to Muslim aggression, an attempt to turn back or defend against Muslim conquests of Christian lands.
It seems to me that Muslims have always been a problem around the world, of course Liberals always refer to the Crusades as a slaughter of innocence, and they refuse to open their eyes to the fact that Muslims have always been terrorists. America has been fighting Islamists for longer than many realize. Even before America’s independence was declared, American ships were pirated and their Christian crews enslaved by Muslim pirates.
In 1786 Thomas Jefferson, then US ambassador to France, and John Adams, then US Ambassador to Britain, met in London with Sidi Haji Abdul Rahman Adja, the Muslim ambassador to Britain, in an attempt to negotiate a peace treaty, during negotiations the Muslim ambassador said; “that it was founded on the Laws of their Prophet, that it was written in their Koran, that all nations who should not have acknowledged their authority were sinners, that it was their right and duty to make war upon them wherever they could be found, and to make slaves of all they could take as Prisoners, and that every Musselman (Muslim) who should be slain in Battle was sure to go to Paradise.” Boy that sounds like it could have come out of today’s newspaper, does it not? It seems that Muslims haven’t changed; they still want to kill the infidels.
We heard from the president the other day, he said that from the very beginning of our country, Islam has been woven into the fabric of our nation. I guess he meant that it was the Muslims who captured slaves in Africa and would sell them to Dutch traders for use in America, or maybe he meant that in 1805 sailors and Marines of America fought battles immortalized in a line of the Marine Hymn: “…to the shores of Tripoli.”
Oh, I know what he was talking about, in 1856 when we were involved in Indian wars, America hired a Muslim to raise camels in Arizona, because the cavalry said, instead of using horses across the desert, let’s try these camels, but the Indians laughed at them when they tried to chase them down with camels, so it really didn’t workout all that well.
In a speech at the White House, Obama said to a group of Muslims, “As I’ve noted before, Thomas Jefferson once held a sunset dinner here with an envoy from Tunisia — perhaps the first Iftar at the White House, more than 200 years ago. And some of you, as you arrived tonight, may have seen our special display, courtesy of our friends at the Library of Congress — the Koran that belonged to Thomas Jefferson. And that’s a reminder, along with the generations of patriotic Muslims in America, that Islam — like so many faiths — is part of our national story.”
Yes, Thomas Jefferson did have a copy of the Koran, but it was a study of understanding the enemy, something Obama is ignorant of doing. It was Jefferson, who embroiled in a war with Islamic terrorists in his day, commented, “Too long, for the honor of nations, have those Barbarians been permitted to trample on the sacred faith of treaties, on the rights and laws of human nature!” And to all you flaming Liberals out there, no right minded person believes that all Muslims are bad, it just seems that the bad always over shadow the good, who refuse to speak up.

This is one mans opinion.
Curious, isn’t it? Man was given the top block on the intelligence totem pole and yet allows others to repeat mistakes until they apparently become immune to teaching or guidance. If an animal steps on a hot coal it will use caution to avoid a repeat…..while acknowledging and identifying the danger……
There is no denying that many of the issues confronting us are the results/consequences of the Muslim ideology in free flow from the White House. There is no ‘easy button’ to right the wrongs. While many Americans are doing their darnedest to reclaim and protect our treasures there are those remaining silent and content to either let others do all the work until the desert course or satisfied with the status quo under the impression that they are immune to the dangers……..note: Name calling alone, is not constructive participation unless in conjunction with action……
Chris, this is a well done piece….passionate and pragmatic…..Should score high in the debate.
Praying for our nation…..our blessing from God
John Adams was the first American Leader to sign a treaty with a Muslim nation called The Treaty of Tripoli (Treaty of Peace and Friendship between the United States of America and the Bey and Subjects of Tripoli of Barbary) was the first treaty concluded between the United States of America and Tripolitania, signed at Tripoli on November 4, 1796, and at Algiers (for a third-party witness) on January 3, 1797. It was submitted to the Senate by President John Adams, receiving ratification unanimously from the U.S. Senate on June 7, 1797, and signed by Adams, taking effect as the law of the land on June 10, 1797. (See reference at: https://x2t.com/JohnAdams)
The treaty included a clause about religion in the United States.
“As the Government of the United States of America is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion; as it has in itself no character of enmity against the laws, religion, or tranquility, of Mussulmen [Muslims]; and as the said States never entered into any war or act of hostility against any Mahometan [Mohammedan] nation, it is declared by the parties that no pretext arising from religious opinions shall ever produce an interruption of the harmony existing between the two countries.[3]”
Muslim never traded in slaves. Islam was the first religion that freed the slaves.
Jews created the African slave trade and kidnapped thousands of Africans (some of them were Muslims) to sell in the U.S. That is the root cause of animosity between Jews and African Americans.
Here is a video that may interest you to listen to. It is titled: Paris attack, a sequel to the film of 911 http://www.memritv.org/clip/en/4782.htm.
Matthew 7:5 ESV / 3 “You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother’s eye.”
You are obviously misguided, or brainwashed. We know that Muslims were the folks who captured the slaves sent to America largely out of Africa. This country was founded on Judeo-Christian principals, what do you thinks hangs in the Supreme Court? That link you provided is a Muslim site so you can expect propaganda. As a matter of fact 90% of your comment is B.S.
The American history is not BS. You are in denial that your article had a lot of lies that you cannot defend. Here are references to support what I said about Jewish trade in African slaves.
The video I sent you had facts. Read it to clear your mind from these lies. Don’t shoot the messenger. Examine the message.
Jews trade in Slaves was documented in a book by Rabbi Marc Lee Raphael,
Jews and Judaism in the United
States: A Documentary History (New York: Behrman House, Inc., Pub, 1983), pp. 14, 23-25.
“This was no less true on the North American mainland, where during the eighteenth century Jews participated in the ‘triangular trade’ that brought slaves from Africa to the West Indies and there exchanged them for molasses, which in turn was taken to New England and converted into rum for sale in Africa. Isaac Da Costa of Charleston in the 1750’s, David Franks of Philadelphia in the 1760’s, and Aaron Lopez of Newport in the late 1760’s and early 1770’s dominated Jewish slave trading on the American continent.”

It’s obvious what side of the fence you stand on, denying that Muslims were not involved in the slave trade is ridiculous, especially because they still are today. Muslims are the biggest treat the world has today, and that’s a fact.
Chris, did you notice that what I wrote here was referenced? I don’t stand on one side or the other of the fence as you do. I just quote and reference what I write.
Your writings are baseless and opinionated. I am trying to teach something but you refuse to learn.
Sorry, I can’t help you Chris! You have no reference to support your claims other than your warped opinion.
I told you some of the “slaves” sold by Jews in America were Muslims.
Here is another quote from a book by Dr. Hamdy El-Rayes titled: The New Era: Returning the U.S. to Democracy and Prosperity:
“During the 18th and 19th centuries, European governments enjoyed enough military power to establish colonies in Asia, Africa, and the Americas, and take raw materials at little or no cost. Manufactured products were then exported back to the resource-rich colonies at relatively high prices. In this way, European nations managed to raise their citizens’ standard of living at the expense of those living in the colonies. It was considered acceptable to invade and subjugate people in those countries because it served the imperial interest. This exploitation in raw materials also extended to people. From 1619 to 1807, in one of the greatest human tragedies in history, between 12 and 13 million Africans were uprooted from their homelands and forcibly transported to the Americas in the trans-Atlantic slave trade. This forced migration is known today as the African Diaspora. Professor Edward Curtis IV of Purdue University reports in his book, Muslims in America: A short History, that Ayuba Suleiman Diallo from Senegal was the first Muslim to be brought to the U.S. as a slave in 1730. “
The Founding Fathers recognized Muslims as friends. (The Treaty of Tripoli). Neocons reversed this relationship and created the animosity you see today.
Today, you are a slave to the Neocons because they pull all the strings of your rulers (Democrats or Republicans).
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe says~No one is more hopelessly enslaved than those who falsely believe they are free.
So I hope you seek your freedom from your Neocon masters rather than barking at the wrong tree 🙂 and spreading Islamophobia.
Chris this misguided individual is correct in part of his explanation and verbiage. What John Adams said to Ali Baba when he sat down with him is this. America is not founded upon any single religion. In our freedom we can worship as we wish and he conveyed that to his partner in the discussion. Maybe it would better serve Andy if it were defined at his level of understanding. President Adams said In America any citizen can believe as they wish, that is your right. How ever if you choose to piss in our Cheerios and force us to believe in your manner of thought please know that we will piss in your Cheerios in a far more proficient way than you might imagine.
The only fabric of our society that is referenced by our illustrious leader One Barry Obama is the paper that is adjacent to our water closet in the John and it’s purpose is very specific. Andy needs to understand that President Adams knew who he was dealing with and how to deal with them.
Jerry, I have the feeling that Andy is not a friend of Israel, but a friend of the Muslim state.
Chris, don’t depend on your feelings because they seem to be misleading .
I am a friend of what is right. ISIS and Israel are on the same of side. They are targeting innocent Arabs (both Muslims and Christians) and aim at destroying their culture.
Good night Andy, there is nothing else to say to you.
The U.S. has never had any animosity with Muslims. The U.S. and the Muslim countries were empathetic to each other because they were occupied by the same brutal force (the British). They were on the same side, until its leaders (Truman) was pressured (Using Jewish election campaign funds) to side with the Zionists against the Arabs to create a new colony in the Middle East called Israel. If you read the book, Zionism, the Real Enemy of the Jews, by Alan Hart, you will understand what I mean.
Do you know that to be a Muslim as described in the Koran, you have to believe in and respect both Christian and Jewish faiths? Those terrorists who you read about are as Muslims, as you would consider Jim Jones (the American Cult leader and founder of the People Temple) a Christian.
I guess you never heard of Tripoli.
