Thomas Jefferson’s Quran

The Democrats are congratulating themselves that terror-tied Hakim Muhammad (Keith Ellison) is destroying American tradition and using the ‘Thomas Jefferson’s quran’ for his swearing in ceremony.

Terror-tied CAIR is doing jihadi victory dance sending out this alert with the following ABC News article;

The first Muslim elected to the U.S. Congress, attacked for planning to use the
Koran at his swearing-in instead of a Bible, will use a copy of the Muslim holy
book once owned by Thomas Jefferson, an official said on Wednesday.

The excitable Washington Post piece exclaims: BUT “IT’S THOMAS JEFFERSON’S KORAN!” –Amy Argetsinger and Roxanne Roberts,(here)

But it wasn’t Jefferson’s prayer book.  Jefferson had a copy of the Quran so that he might understand the enemy for strategy and war gaming. Jefferson, in defense of America, was studying the  enemy’s war plan, their “Art of War.” Maybe Ellison ought to read Andrew Bostom’s, “America’s First War on Terror” here;

Thomas Jefferson and John Adams, then serving as American ambassadors to France and Britain, respectively, met in 1786 in London with the Tripolitan Ambassador to Britain, Sidi Haji Abdul Rahman Adja. These future American presidents were attempting to negotiate a peace treaty which would spare the United States the ravages of jihad piracy—murder, enslavement (with ransoming for redemption), and expropriation of valuable commercial assets—emanating from the Barbary states (modern Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, and Libya, known collectively in Arabic as the Maghrib). During their discussions, they questioned Ambassador Adja as to the source of the unprovoked animus directed at the nascent United States republic. Jefferson and Adams, in their subsequent report to the Continental Congress, recorded the Tripolitan Ambassador’s justification:

… 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 who should be slain in Battle was sure to go to Paradise.

Thus as Joshua London’s Victory in Tripoli  elaborates in lucid prose, an aggressive jihad was already being waged against the United States almost 200 years prior to America becoming a dominant international power in the Middle East. Moreover, these jihad depredations targeting America antedated the earliest vestiges of the Zionist movement by a century, and the formal creation of Israel by 162 years—exploding the ahistorical canard that American support for the modern Jewish state is a prerequisite for jihadist attacks on the United States.

Jihad at Sea—An Overview

Barbary jihad piracy was merely a16^th
through 19^th century manifestation of the
naval razzias characteristic of Islamic imperialism since its emergence
(pp.41-43)  in the 7th and 8th centuries. For example, although the Abbasid state (750-1250) “orientalized” the Caliphate, and lacked naval power of any importance, in the west, Muslim forces (i.e., decentralized, “organic formations”), continued the Islamic expansion by maritime warfare. Throughout the 9th  and 10th  centuries, Berbers and Arabs from Spain and North Africa launched raids along the coastal regions of France, Italy, Sicily, and in the Greek archipelago.

StatesJihad Piracy and the Barbary States

The Barbary jihad piracy which confronted America soon after our nation was established (i.e.,  between 1786-1815), was an enduring, formidable enterprise. During
the 16^th and 17^th centuries, as many Europeans were
captured, sold, and enslaved by the Barbary corsairs as were West Africans made captive and shipped for plantation labor in the Americas by European slave traders. Robert
Davis’ methodical enumeration indicates that between one, and one and one-quarter million white European Christians were enslaved by the Barbary Muslims from 1530 through 1780. White
Gold,, Giles Milton’s remarkable account of Cornish cabin boy Thomas Pellow, captured by Barbary corsairs in 1716, also documents how earlier 17th century jihad razzias had extended to England [p. 13, “By the end of the dreadful summer of 1625, the mayor of Plymouth reckoned that 1,000 skiffs had been destroyed, and a similar number of villagers carried off into slavery”], Wales, southern Ireland [p.16, “In 1631…200 Islamic soldiers…sailed to the village of Baltimore, storming ashore with swords drawn and catching the villagers totally by surprise. (They) carried off 237 men, women, and children and took them to Algiers…The French padre Pierre Dan was in the city (Algiers) at the time…He witnessed the sale of the captives in the slave auction. ‘It was a pitiful sight to see them exposed in the market…Women were separated from their husbands and the children from their fathers…on one side a husband was sold; on the other his wife; and her daughter was torn from her arms without the hope that they’d ever see each other again’.”], and even Reykjavik, Iceland!

“Several muslim countries along the North African coast had
established the tradition of plundering the ships of European and American
merchants in the western Mediterranean and eastern Atlantic, capturing the crews
and then demanding ransom from the respective governments for their release. In
a joint message to their superiors in Congress, Adams and Jefferson described
the audacity of these terrorist attacks, pirates leaping onto defenseless ships
with daggers clenched in their teeth. They had asked the ambassador from
Tripoli, Adams and Jefferson explained, on what grounds these outrageous acts of
unbridled savagery could be justified: “The Ambassador answered us that it was
founded on the laws of the prophet, that it was written in their koran, that all
nations who should not have acknowledged their [islams] 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….”

This
event occured between 1784-1789 while Jefferson was ambassador to France and
Adams (2nd president) was ambassador to England. More here

Here in America, Ellison, proud Muslim*, ought to take his oath on a bible and Quran. But the ensuing dialogue that Ellison’s Quran generated was worth all of it.We found out a lot more on where people stand. GOODE!

UPDATE: Go over to FrontPage Magazine and read Joe Kaufman’s piece,

“Keith Ellison’s friends, our enemies” here;

During Ellison’s campaign for U.S. Congress, the issue of his relationship with the Nation of Islam (NOI) was brought up repeatedly. NOI, under the leadership of Louis Farrakhan, for decades, has been the perpetrator of countless verbal and written attacks against the Jewish community.
[…]

Much of the money that was funneled into the coffers of Ellison’s campaign can be traced to the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), an organization that has ties to Hamas. In June of 1994, three leaders of the Islamic Association for Palestine (IAP), a group that was the brainchild of Hamas deputy Mousa Abu Marzook (Marzouk), incorporated CAIR. One of the leaders was CAIR’s Executive Director and, himself, a Hamas supporter, Nihad Awad.

Awad – who stated at a September 2000 rally, “[The Jews] have been saying ‘Next year in Jerusalem’; we say ‘Next year to all Palestine’” – personally gave thousands of dollars to Ellison’s campaign. The other head of CAIR, the group’s National Chairman, Parvez Ahmed, also gave large sums to Ellison. In addition, CAIR sponsored numerous fundraisers for Ellison – including secret fundraisers held outside the candidate’s state – where the group raised tens of thousands of dollars for him.
