Muslim Rep. Rashida Tlaib to be sworn in on Jefferson’s Qur’an: “Muslims were there at the beginning”

Indeed, and invoking the now much-abused Jefferson Quran. The idea that Jefferson somehow revered Islam because he had a Quran in his possession is akin to saying FDR admired Nazism because he had a copy of Mein Kampf.

Jefferson Versus the Muslim Pirates: America’s first confrontation with the Islamic world helped forge a new nation’s character. By Christopher Hitchens

America’s first and second foreign wars were against Muslim states. First under Jefferson and then Madison.

Story continues below advertisement

When Thomas Jefferson was inaugurated in March of 1801, he inherited the then ongoing terror by the Barbary Muslim states (the Ottoman Regencies of Algiers, Tunis, and Tripoli, along with independent Morocco). The Europeans had staved off war with the Muslim powers through treaties that involved annual payments of tribute (jizya). Jefferson refused to be held hostage to Muslim rulers seizing American merchant ships, holding the crews for ransom, demanding the U.S. pay jizya to the Barbary rulers. Jefferson went to war and won.  Hence the resounding declaration in the Anthem of the United States Marines, the Marines’ Hymn, ‘From the Halls of Montezuma / To the Shores of Tripoli’ as in Libya.

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 16th and 17th 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

“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….”

USS Philadelphia burning at the Battle of Tripoli Harbor during the First Barbary War in 1804

“America’s First War on Terror” by Dr. Bostom:

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.

The last time the left pulled this revisionist myth out of was when another jihadi was sworn in.

Muslim Rep. Rashida Tlaib to be sworn in on Jefferson’s Qur’an: “Muslims were there at the beginning”

Jihad Watch

Tlaib’s statement here is part of the ongoing effort to rewrite early American history to put Muslims in it, and to recast Thomas Jefferson as an Islamophilic multiculturalist. Reality was different. Jefferson owned a Qur’an because he understood that one must know one’s enemy in order to know how to defeat him. In 1786, Jefferson and John Adams met in London with Sidi Haji Abdrahaman, the eyalet (administer) of Tripolitania’s ambassador to London. Jefferson recounted in a letter to Congress what Abdrahaman’s response was when he and Adams asked him “concerning the ground of the pretensions to make war upon nations who had done them no injury”:

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 answered 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 Mussulman who should be slain in battle was sure to go to Paradise.

Thus it had been since the beginning of Islam, and thus it would remain. This particular eruption of the long hostility that Barbary piracy represented came to a head in 1801, when Yusuf Karamanli, the bashaw of Tripoli, increased his demands on an already cash-strapped republic, demanding 220 thousand dollars up front and twenty-five thousand dollars each year from the United States. The new president, Jefferson, opted to go to war rather than continue paying these increasingly exorbitant tributes. Emerging victorious against the Barbary states in 1805 and again in a second war in 1815, the Americans freed themselves from paying tribute and put an end to this long episode of jihad on the high seas.

Get more details about this first American defense against the jihad in The History of Jihad From Muhammad to ISIS.

“Rashida Tlaib to use Jefferson’s Quran for swearing-in ceremony,” Roya News, December 23, 2018:

US Congressman Rashida Tlaib revealed that she will be sworn in as a member of the US Congress by swearing on an English translated copy of the Quran, by George Suss in 1734, a copy obtained by Thomas Jefferson, the third president of the United States.

According to the Detroit Free Press, Tlaib will borrow this version of the Qur’an from the Rare Books and Special Collections section of the Library of Congress.

“It’s important to me because a lot of Americans have this kind of feeling that Islam is somehow foreign to American history,” said Tlaib, “Muslims were there at the beginning. … Some of our founding fathers knew more about Islam than some members of Congress now.”…

Talib also decided to wear a traditional Palestinian thobe (dress) on the day she is sworn in into US congress.

What few know: Unjust Muhammad started the global African slave-trade by saying his unproven deity had turned Africans black so the African’s descendants would be slaves to Arabs & Turks.
Africans are enslaved from Saudi Arabia (to whom Trump is selling weapons) to Mauritania.
Not a lot changed since then, only the weapons got deadlier.
We must free humanity from the Muhammadist injustice.

Jefferson had a Qur’an to educate himself in Muslim ideology and thinking when the U.S. was at war with the Barbary Corsairs in North Africa. The Muslims were in North Africa, not the U.S., so for someone – like Barack Obama – to claim that Muslims were in America “from the beginning” is simply a barefaced lie.

The Muslim influence goes back farther. The Christian nations of the middle east became Muslim, and then shut down the Silk Road that Marco Polo had opened up. Thus Christopher Columbus was looking for a way around the Muslims, even then.

Most of the slaves sent to the Americas were for labor, and there was a mixture of men and women, although mostly men. Those going to Arabia were mostly women and young boys for sex. One account had as 90% dying on the way. many as There weren’t descendants of the slaves there because either the pregnant woman, or the baby, were killed. The women were killed when they lost their allure. The boys were castrated, no children from them.

Jefferson, as a Deist, was skeptical of religious dogma, and he often referred to his own rendition of the New Testament, stripped of references to the supernatural, which he admired for its ethical content.

PS 911 was not the “ultimate slaughter.” The Islamists are planning worse, and one day they may very well succeed.

Mohammed reversed time to the days before 1400 BC, when the Egyptian Pharisees had their first Queen. Islam stripped the wings off all females and shrouded them behind a silk cocoon relegated to cells in a catacomb for breeding purposes.
This system cannot survive without polygamy and the kidnapping of female children from adjacent colonies. Solder Workers hunt down and destroy any drones who leave the colony they are guilty of Apostasy..
Between 965 and 1100 AD was the age of reason.
During this enlightenment period humans realized they were more intelligent then insects.

It is exactly why the Black Flag of Islam always needs a big can of Raid ..

They were there at the beginning because of what they are. According to Dr. Warner, Islam was coming to the end of a period of several centuries in the early 1800’s where they had engaged in 538 battles against the infidels, primarily in Europe. The Barbary Wars were their first attempt at fighting Americans.

No oath that woman swears to uphold your constitution is worth the breath she expends saying it, she’s in the land of conflict so she’s lying – to protect Islam from scrutiny.

This fact should be addressed by every court in the west, it’s time to grow up.

As for the selective Hollywood narrative, while America had it’s issues, and admitted they were real, the European states had a much longer grievance with those Arabs going back before America became independent and it took two events to finally show them that times had changed. One was the destruction by fire and cannon of Algiers by a small fleet commanded by Sir Edward Pellew RN in August 1816 leading to the release of 3000 Christian slaves and captives with the return of all their ransoms and the second was the conquest by France a few years later when that coast became a colony under French control.

Pellew was the first captain to take them on and destroy their power, although others tried non prevailed.

The ransoms like the people were returned to Malta, Spain, Naples, Sicily, Genoa, the Greek Islands and other ports in mainland Italy, more went back to France and some as far as Ireland and Britain.

Pellew would have made a good American because of his difficult start in life, he was involved in the war of independence and spent over 30 years at sea, you can read about him in the book Commander. The life and exploits of Britain’s greatest Frigate captain.

There’s insufficient time to attack Islam piece by piece because w/ continued migration and their reproduction there will be establishment of Islamic colonies in America like in Minnesota and Michigan with sufficient Muslim representation (like these two Koran-loving Muslim reps) who will block any action against Islam or Sharia Law. Have to ban Muslim migration and foreign money to build Mosques NOW or your grandchildren and great-grandchildren won’t have an America anymore. We have to treat Islam as the fascist political ideology that it is…an enemy of freedom and basic human rights. We have to stop teaching “tolerance” of Islam—that’s really stupid.

If that were possible….I don’t think there is a any desire to bring this up to specifically target Islam because everyone is too afraid of being branded Islamophobic, “racist,” or discriminating against a “religion.” So….some State has to ban Islam, or mosques on the basis that Islam is a threat to “freedom of religion” because Islam is a so-called “religion” that is commanded to wage war against non-Muslims–it has done so in the past 1400 years, it currently does so all over the world and, it will continue to do so in the future.

No doubt many of the slaves brought to US were muslim as they came from West Africa but they were muslims because they had been forced to become so

Muslim Rep. Rashida Tlaib will be sworn in on a book that is sworn to defeat and conquer the infidels. There is no multiculturalism in Islam – there is only submission and conquest. Muslima Rashida Tlaib received financial backing from CAIR and MAS – both Muslim Brotherhood satellite organizations whose reason for existence is the establishment of the Islamic caliphate worldwide. In the 7th century Muslim conquest was achieved by the sword – in the 21st century it will be achieved at the ballot box.

This is what our children have been taught about islam . A total lie

This is outrageous, those who promoted it should be imprisoned! This is a NY high school test from the university regents:
http://www.nysedregents.org/globalhistorygeography/Archive/20100817-gh-examw.pdf

This is from page 13 of the test ” . . Wherever they went, the Moslems brought with them their love of art, beauty, and learning.
From about the eighth to the eleventh century, their culture was superior in many ways to that
of western Christendom.
Some of the finest centers of Moslem life were established in Spain. In Cordova, the streets
were solidly paved, while at the same time in Paris people waded ankle-deep in mud after a rain.
Cordovan public lamps lighted roads for as far as ten miles; yet seven hundred years later there
was still not a single public lamp in London!
Some Spanish Moslems had homes with marble balconies and courts with lovely waterfalls.
Bedrooms were vaulted with stained glass and speckled with gold. And metal pipes carried water
into marble baths.
Nearly every mosque had a public school in which the children of the poor were taught. Many
Moslem libraries were excellent; the catalogue of one caliph’s library filled forty volumes. In
addition, the followers of Mohammed achieved much in science, particularly in chemistry,
astronomy, mathematics, and medicine. . . .

Part of the Muslim web of deceit. The majority of these advances were made by non-Muslims under Islamic rule, which Muslims falsely claim as their own…

Yes…the Muslims were there at the beginning….and it was the first War we fought after becoming a country….the Barbary Coast….and not one single thing has changed since then except the Muslims have now spread out across the globe butchering humans and committing any heinous crime you can imagine and some you couldn’t imagine….

America was formed on Judeo-Christian principles…..this is yet another Muslim bastardizing our swearing in to our government….Keith Ellison did it first…..

I am sick to death of these people getting into our government…..they have freedom of religion…..but not to force us to accept it when swearing into our government offices!!!

The only reason Jefferson had a Koran was so that he could understand Islam!
Any elected official of the U.S. that swears in on the Koran is placing Sharia Law over the Constitution!
The only reason Islam was with this country since the beginning is because of the Muslim conquest of North Africa! The slave trade was so lucrative for the Moors and Arabs that they started enslaving their own Muslim brothers! I guess they weren’t Muslim enough!!!
Our forefathers knew the damage that not only was caused to our young country, but, the dangers that were to come in the future!

America will rue the day that they allowed muslims to infiltrate the USA’s politics, law enforcement, military, school system. Islam and its followers, muslims, should not be allowed in any western countries. Muslims cannot assimilate into western civilization. Muslims follow Islam’s totalitarian political system and legal code, sharia law. Islam teaches all muslims to despise and dispose of infidels. America and Americans need to open their eyes and see that islam is an enemy of all western civilization. DemocratSocialists are in lockstep with islam…both want to take away your freedom and control your lives. Think about it.

Just more of the lies told by Barack Obama in his 2009 speeches to Turkey’s parliament and to the Muslim world from Cairo. Just rubbish re-written history – and yet no leading American academic, journalist of politician challenged Obama over his lies. I wrote to Harvard’s CNN clown, David Gergen, to ask why he had remained silent in the face of such fabrication, but, predictably, he never responded.

Totally agree. For a chuckle here is my courteous letter to him in 2015:
Dear President Obama
After watching your Washington Prayer Breakfast speech, February 5, I intend climbing on my ”high horse” to inform you that you drawing an analogy and moral equivalency between the savagery of the Muslims of ISIS that is occurring NOW and the Crusades that ended about 700 years ago was the height of ignorance and stupidity.
Right now, not 700 years ago, “people” – Islamic groups like ISIS, al Qaeda, Hezbollah, Hamas, the Muslim Brotherhood, Boko Haram and others – are committing “terrible deeds” in the name of Islam and Mohammed, yet God forbid that you would have the moral fibre, decency and honesty to condemn the most violent and savage force at work in the world
today, Islam.
Further, the Crusades were Europe’s response to Islam’s violent and murderous invasion of the Levant in 635AD, Muslim Turk encroachment into Anatolia, the desecration of Christian holy sites in and around Jerusalem, murder of Christian pilgrims to those holy sites, and hundreds of years of Muslim savagery in North Africa, southern Italy and Sicily.
Disgraceful, too, was your invoking the name of Christ to make your point – a very poor point – yet not once did you mention the words ‘Islam’ or ‘Mohammed’, when right at this moment the massive and vile elephant in the room is Islam, just as it was before the Crusades were launched in 1095.
As evident in your 2009 speeches to Turkey’s Parliament and Muslim world from Cairo, you neither know nor care about history, facts or truth and are just a pathological liar, deceiver and fraud. Never did I imagine the American people would degenerate to such depths that they would elect such a disgusting president.
Yours sincerely

It’s certainly an excellent and to the point letter.
I don’t suppose you received any acknowledgment of it at all but it’s nice to think that he read it and gave the arrogant bastard food for thought.

I wrote to him on four occasions and on each occasion I responded to his lies and utter rubbish. He claimed to be an historian, but is a liar so even his history is ‘revisionist’ history. He’s so arrogant that he thinks that nobody will challenge his crap and to some extent he was right because as far as could see no academic, journalist or politician of note challenged the lies he made up. On one occasion this fool in a speech stated: “If you’ve got a business — you didn’t build that. Somebody else made that happen.” On another occasion this idiot claimed that Thomas Jefferson – like himself – was accused of being a Muslim. On another occasion he claimed that every day he had to deal with Netanyahu’s lies. So in response to this I mocked and ridiculed him, and told him he is a “pathological liar”.

He’s as dishonest as the day is long. I hated the way Cameron got him to appear on UK tv news saying if Britain leaves the EU then they will have to go to the back of the line to deal with the USA as an independent nation.

This action should not be permitted. We swear on the bible to witness we believe in the ten Commandments which are the basis of our laws. One of the commandments states “Thou shall not Lie.” By placing our hand on the bible and swearing on the bible in court we say we will “tell the truth, the who truth and nothing but the truth”.
On the other hand, the Koran approves lying if it furthers the cause of muslim dominating the world (Taquia), and calls for muslim law, Sharia, to be held higher than our own western laws.

Actually, she’s not taking an oath. She cannot swear to uphold an office of the USA on the Quran because based upon religion it would be a lie, and, if she were ever challenged about her oaths all she has to say is she never took an oath of office. It is the BIBLE that makes our officials oaths legitimate. It rams against the very core of our nation to substitute the Bible for the Quran. The word of God is of utmost importance in this matter being that the Constitution, and the foundation of our laws were taken from the word of God, not the Quran. This sets up a dangerous precedent for our nation because now the Bible can be totally ignored and replaced by the Quran or nothing at all. Then, there will be no place for American values. It’s like allowing transgenders (the lie) to take their oaths on the Bible. Someone needs to step up and stop this.
