The Role of Islam in American History (Updated) ; WH says Thomas Jefferson hosted first Iftar dinner

Barack Obama, The New York Times, that Iftar Dinner, and the rewriting of history  "It is disgusting for an American President to misrepresent American history to Americans, including all the schoolchildren who are now being subject to all kinds of Islamic propaganda, cunningly woven into the newly-mandated textbooks, that so favorably misrepresent Islam, as here."

This best documents the relations between Thomas Jefferson and Muslims:  Christopher Hitchens

"When they inquired by what right the Barbary states preyed upon American shipping, enslaving both crews and passengers, America’s two foremost envoys were informed that “it was written in the Koran, that all Nations who should not have acknowledged their authority were sinners, that it was their right and duty to make war upon whoever they could find 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.”

They believed it then as they did in the seventh century and they believe it now. But much less than Thomas Jefferson is in charge today. TD
