What Thomas Jefferson learned from the Muslim book of Jihad
U.S. Veteran Dispatch article by Ted Sampley -- Excerpted info: Dem. Keith Ellison is now officially the first Muslim U.S. congressman. True to his pledge, he placed his hand on the Quran, the Muslim book of jihad and pledged his allegiance to the U.S. during his ceremonial swearing-in. The Quran Ellison used was once belonged to Thomas Jefferson, third president of the United States and one of America's founding fathers. Ellison borrowed it from the Rare Book Section of the Library of Congress. There is no doubt Ellison was right about Jefferson believing wisdom could be "gleaned" from the Muslim Quran. At the time Jefferson owned the book, he needed to know everything possible about Muslims because he was about to advocate war against the Islamic "Barbary" states of Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia and Tripoli. In 1786, Jefferson, America's ambassador to France, and Adams, America's ambassador to Britain, met in London with Sidi Haji Abdul Rahman Adja, the "Dey of Algiers" ambassador to Britain. The Americans wanted to negotiate a peace treaty based on Congress' vote to appease. During the meeting Jefferson and Adams asked Adja why Muslims held so much hostility towards America, a nation with which they had no previous contacts. In a later meeting with the American Congress, the two future presidents reported that Ambassador Sidi Haji Abdul Rahman Adja had answered that Islam "was founded on the Laws of their Prophet, that it was written in their Quran, 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 (Muslim) who should be slain in Battle was sure to go to Paradise."
For the next 15 years, America paid the Muslims millions of dollars for the safe passage of American ships and the return of American hostages. In 1800, the ransom and tribute amounted to 20 percent of U.S. government's annual revenues. Not long after Jefferson's inauguration as president in 1801, he dispatched a group of frigates to defend American interests in the Mediterranean, and informed Congress that America was going to spend "millions for defense but not one cent for tribute," Jefferson deployed the Marines and many of America's best warships to the Muslim Barbary Coast.>
During his administration, the Muslim Barbary States, crumbed as a result of intense American naval bombardment and on shore raids by Marines. Jefferson's victory over the Muslims lives on today in the Marine Hymn, with the line, "From the halls of Montezuma to the shores of Tripoli, we will fight our country's battles on the land as on the sea." Jefferson had been right. The "medium of war" was the only way to put and end to the Muslim problem. Mr. Ellison was right about Jefferson. He was a "visionary" wise enough to read and learn about the enemy from their own Muslim book of jihad. Read Full Article

To quote from a Doug Patton Column of June 6, 2005:
Are we fighting a war on terror or aren't we? Was it or was it not started by Islamic people who brought it to our shores on September 11, 2001? Were people from all over the world, mostly Americans, not brutally murdered that day, in downtown Manhattan, across the Potomac from our nation's capitol and in a field in Pennsylvania? Did nearly three thousand men, women and children die a horrible, burning death that day, or didn’t they?
And I'm supposed to care that a copy of the Koran was "desecrated" when an overworked American soldier kicked it or got it wet? Well, I don't. I don't care at all.
I'll start caring when Osama bin Laden turns himself in and repents for incinerating all those innocent people on 9/11.
I'll care about the Koran when the fanatics in the Middle East start caring about the Holy Bible, the mere possession of which is a crime in Saudi Arabia.
I’ll care when Abu Musab al-Zarqawi tells the world he is sorry for hacking off Nick Berg's head while Berg screamed through his gurgling, slashed throat.
I'll care when the cowardly so-called "0insurgents" in Iraq come out and fight like men instead of disrespecting their own religion by hiding in mosques.
I'll care when the mindless zealots who blow themselves up in search of nirvana care about the innocent children within range of their suicide bombs.
I'll care when the American media stops pretending that their First Amendment liberties are somehow derived from international law instead of the United States Constitution’s Bill of Rights.
I'll care when Clinton-appointed judges stop ordering my government to release photos of the abuses at Abu Ghraib, which are sure to set off the Islamic extremists just as Newsweek's lies did a few weeks ago.
In the meantime, when I hear a story about a brave marine roughing up an Iraqi terrorist to obtain information, know this: I don’t care.
When I see a fuzzy photo of a pile of naked Iraqi prisoners who have been humiliated in what amounts to a college hazing incident, rest assured that I don’t care.
When I see a wounded terrorist get shot in the head when he is told not to move because he might be booby-trapped, you can take it to the bank that I don’t care.
When I hear that a prisoner, who was issued a Koran paid for by my tax dollars, is complaining that his holy book is being "mishandled," you can absolutely believe in your heart of hearts that I don’t care.
And oh, by the way, I’ve noticed that sometimes it’s spelled "Koran" and other times "Quran." Well, Jimmy Crack Corn and — you guessed it — I don't care!
Barack Hussein Obama's father, Barack Hussein Obama Sr., was a radical "black Muslim" of Nyangoma-Kogelo, Siaya District, Kenya. Latter his tep-father was Lolo Soetoro who was a Muslum form Jarkarta, Indonesia who enrolled Obama in one of Jakarta's Wahabbi (Muslum) schools. Obama later attended a Catholic school and then public school in the U.S.
Obama was sworn in as a Senator using the Bible even though he has a very liberal voting record and does not follow the fundamentals of the Bible. It is seems doubtful as a liberal Democrat that he would be comitted to the Koran - although we see that the first persaon to be sworn in to congress using the Koran was a Democrat. Would it be a surprise to see him in the future sworn in on the book of Dianetics?
