Foggy Bottom Promotes Mohammedan Histori-lies
Keep in mind that this is an official United States Government publication.
On the surface, it may seem like the United States and the Middle East are worlds apart, two separate cultures with little in common and no historical connections.
Oh, I don't know. The West and the Muslim world have rabid antisemitism and multicultural propaganda in common, along with such prominent connections as the Battle of Tours, the rape of Constantinople, the Siege of Vienna, the Battle of Omdurman, and of course, the events of 9-11-01.
In fact, there is considerable evidence to the contrary.
... much of it fabricated.
Though little known, Islamic influence runs deep in American culture. A number of the words Americans speak, foods Americans eat, buildings Americans design, decorative items Americans create, and traditions Americans treasure can trace their roots to the Islamic world.
Our 50th state, Al-Asqa, is an obvious example, along with the Canuckistani province of Al-Berta.
The expression "so long!" for example, originated with the Malay "salang," which came from the Arabic "salaam." So there you have it.
