Context: in 1785, Muslim pirates from North Africa, or “Barbary,” had captured two American ships, the Maria and Dauphin, and enslaved their crews. In an effort to ransom the enslaved Americans and establish peaceful relations, Thomas Jefferson and John Adams -- then ambassadors to France and England respectively -- met with Tripoli’s ambassador to Britain, Abdul Rahman Adja. Following this diplomatic exchange, they laid out the source of the Barbary States’ hitherto inexplicable animosity to American vessels in a letter to Congress dated March 28, 1786:
We took the liberty to make some inquiries concerning the grounds of their [Barbary’s] pretentions to make war upon nations who had done them no injury, and observed that we considered all mankind as our friends who had done us no wrong, nor had given us any provocation. The ambassador answered us 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
One need not conjecture what the American ambassadors -- who years earlier had asserted that all men were “endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights” -- thought of their Muslim counterpart’s answer. Suffice to say, because the ransom demanded was over fifteen times greater than what Congress had approved, little came of the meeting.

ReplyDelete9:27,
Actually the Marines predate our country. They were organized by the Continental Congress about 8 months prior to the Declaration of Independence. And they did serve in the war against the Barbary Pirates.
Muslim's interpretation of the Koran hasn't changed since the letter written by Jefferson and Adams. Those of that faith now in Congress or other elective office have not renounced the 'obligation' to subjugate or otherwise subdue the rest of us. Study up.
Who got the Marines to the shores of Tripoli? (Hint: They didn't take the bus.)
ReplyDelete12:08, it helps if you actually read and know what the Quran states before embarrassing yourself online lecturing about it. You clearly haven't beyond your favorite Zionist propaganda site.

ReplyDeleteHow do you know the quran is even truthful? Mohammed was illeterate. He could not read or write. So how did he know what was being put in the quran? Do you really think God would speak to such a nasty person anyway? He married a child at 6 years old and consummated that marriage when she was only 9. Btw do you speak Arabic? You know the clerics say you can't understand the quran unless you can.
@3:27. Again, you have to read the Quran before you participate in a discussion about it.
ReplyDeleteIn the meantime why don't you talk about Jews suckling baby penises after they mutilate them or the never ending sex abuse of children in the church?
Marriages were arranged 1500 years ago. Muhammed didn't consummate a marriage with a 9 year old. And finally, people had children early as a matter of survival because human beings did not have good healthcare and living to 30 was old age.

ReplyDeleteAgain I have read the "English" version. Mohammed's marriage was NOT prearranged. He saw her playing with dolls and he lusted for a child. YES she was 9 when the marriage was consummated. She was 6 when they married. Speaking of having children. Aisha never had children did she? Kind of odd don't you think? He damaged her by violating her at such a young age. How many wives did he have? 12 or 13? Why did he need a little girl? He was in his 50s!
You haven't read anything beyond a Jewish website that knows you idiots will repeat anything you are told in an attempt to keep your religion more than a laughing stock in your own countries.
ReplyDeleteWhy don't you point out where all of this rhetoric you espouse is in the Quran?
9:24
ReplyDeleteSeems you are the one that hasn't read the quran . The Hadiths talk about Mohammed and Aisha and the age they married. Can't believe you didn't know that. Seems you are only going on what you have been told.
