Obama, Muslim apologist
Topics:Barry essentially told the Turkish Parliment on Monday that "America has been enriched by Islam":
"We will convey," Barack Obama told the Turkish Parliament Monday, "our deep appreciation for the Islamic faith, which has done so much over the centuries to shape the world - including my own country." He assured the Turkish leaders (who have become increasingly radicalized under President Abdullah Gul) that America "is not and never will be at war with Islam." And he went on to say that "the United States has been enriched by Muslim Americans," including his ancestors.As pointed out at the link, Barack Hussein Obama joins George W. Bush in being blithely unaware that there were no Muslims among the passengers on the Mayflower or the settlers at Jamestown:
Muslims were conspicuously absent from the ranks of George Washington's Army of the Revolution and played no role in the creation of the American republic - save for the fact that the new country's first declaration of war was against the forces of Islam represented by the Barbary pirates.[1]Read it all.Despite popular folklore, few Muslims numbered among the 12 million black Africans who were shipped to the New World from the 17th to 19th centuries. The Muslims, in fact, were not the slaves but the slave traders. Senegalese educator Amadou-Mahtar M'Bow has written that in 1587 a shipload of Moriscos (Spanish Moors) landed in a coastal area of South Carolina. The Moors, he contends, migrated to the mountains of eastern Tennessee and western North Carolina where they established colonies.[2] In reality, this is pure speculation. There is not a scintilla of archival or archaeological evidence to support this claim.
