Islam Has Always Been A Part Of America's Story

Barack Obama, during his Cairo speech, said: "I know, too, that Islam has always been a part of America's story."

AN AMERICAN CITIZEN'S RESPONSE:

Dear Mr.Obama,

Were those Muslims that were in America when the Pilgrims first landed? Funny, I thought they were Native American Indians.

Were those Muslims that celebrated the first Thanksgiving day? Sorry again, those were Pilgrims and Native American Indians.

Did any Muslims fight in the French and Indian Wars? Nope.

Can you show me one Muslim signature on the United States Constitution?

Declaration of Independence? Bill of Rights? Didn't think so.

Did Muslims fight for this country's freedom from England? No.

Were Muslims standing and fighting alongside Andrew Jackson against the British in the War of 1812? No.

Were any Muslims in the boats with Lewis and Clark as they explored and mapped the Lands of the Louisiana Purchase and West? None.

Did Muslims fight during the Civil War to free the slaves in America? No, they did not. In fact, Muslims to this day are still the largest traffickers in human slavery.

Were there any Muslims on the wagon trains moving west, settling the West? No.

Any Muslims that built the railroads meeting at Promontary Point, Utah?

Were any Muslims charging up alongside Teddy Roosevelt and the rest of the Rough
Riders in the battle of San Juan Heights during the Spanish American War? No.

Where any Muslims in the trenches with our doughboys during WWI?

Where were Muslims during the Civil Rights era of this country? Not present.

There are no pictures or media accounts of Muslims walking side by side with Martin
Luther King, Jr. or helping to advance the cause of Civil Rights.

Where were Muslims during this country's Woman's Suffrage era? Again, not present.
In fact, devout Muslims demand that women are subservient to men in the Islamic culture. So much so, that often they are beaten for not wearing the 'hajib' or for talking to a man who is not a direct family member or their husband. Yep, the Muslims are all for women's rights, aren't they?

Where were Muslims during World War II? They were aligned with Adolf Hitler. The
Muslim grand mufti himself met with Adolf Hitler, reviewed the troops and accepted
support from the Nazi's in killing Jews.

Finally, Mr. Obama, where were Muslims on Sept. 11th, 2001? If they weren't flying planes into the World Trade Center, the Pentagon or a field in Pennsylvania killing nearly 3,000 people on our own soil, they were rejoicing in the Middle East. No one can dispute the pictures shown from all parts of the Muslim world celebrating on CNN, Fox News, MSNBC and other cable news networks that day. Strangely, the very "moderate" Muslims who's asses you bent over backwards to kiss in Cairo, Egypt on June 4th were stone cold silent post 9-11. To many Americans, their silence has meant approval for the acts of that day.

And THAT, Mr. Obama, is the "rich heritage" Muslims have here in America ....

Oh, I'm sorry, I forgot to mention the Barbary Pirates. They were Muslim.

Remember Sargent Hasan Karim Akbar?He was a member of the 101st airborne infantry who killed two officers and wounded 14 other soldiers in Kuwait on March 23rd, 2003 using a hand grenade and rifle.

And now we can add November 5, 2009 - the slaughter of American soldiers at Fort Hood by a Muslim major who is a doctor and a psychiatrist who was supposed to be counseling soldiers returning from battle in Iraq and Afghanistan.

That, Mr. Obama is the "Muslim heritage" in America.
