The real reason Thomas Jefferson owned a copy of the Qur'an…

[Federal Observer] A 232 Year History of our fight against Islam & why it is no longer taught in our public schools...

When Thomas Jefferson saw there was no negotiating with Muslims, he formed what is now the Marines (sea going soldiers). These Marines were attached to U. S. Merchant vessels. When the Muslims attacked U.S. merchant vessels they were repulsed by armed soldiers, but there is more.

The Marines followed the Muslims back to their villages and killed every man, woman, and child in the village.

It didn’t take long for the Muslims to leave U.S. Merchant vessels alone.

English and French merchant vessels started running up our flag when entering the Mediterranean to secure safe travel.

Why the Marine Hymn contains the verse, "To the Shores of Tripoli ".

This is very interesting and a must read piece of our history. It points out where we may be heading.

Most Americans are unaware of the fact that over two hundred years ago the United States had declared war on Islam, and Thomas Jefferson led the charge!

At the height of the 18th century, Muslim pirates (the "Barbary Pirates") were the terror of the Mediterranean and a large area of the North Atlantic.

They attacked every ship in sight, and held the crews for exorbitant ransoms. Those taken hostage were subjected to barbaric treatment and wrote heart-breaking letters home, begging their governments and families to pay whatever their Mohammedan captors demanded.

#6  Tun's Tavern, known to every Marine I've ever met. Jefferson knew there could be no "peace" with Islam, and responded to them appropriately. A few scheduled sunrises in the Muddled East would do wonders for whirled peas. We need to develop interstellar spaceflight, and ensure every Muslim and Muslim sympathizer gets a one-way ticket to a new world. Preferably in the Lesser Magellanic Cloud.

#5  November 10th, 1775, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania was the founding of the USMC, a bit before Jefferson’s Presidency. I’m curious about the sources Regarding arming merchantmen and wholesale pursuit and extreme prejudicial terminations. I was taught about LT Presley O’Bannon but not the other assertions.

#4  Sooner than anyone thinks, Dron.

The Democratic Party which he founded and the city of Charlottesville where sits the university he founded have already begun the process of turning one of America's Olympian leaders into a non-person.

#3  Only a matter of time before Jefferson's name and legacy on monuments and tender is challenged, because it ... sniff... hurts the sentiments of 'American muslims'.

And reparations. You must pay them reparations.

Without a declaration of war! That's not what our founding fathers intended.....ah, oh, wait, never mind.
