If I were to ask you, "Who is the first American President to bring war tothe Muslims?" How would you answer? President Bush #41? President Bush #43?
Okay, this is a trick question because few folks recall that President Thomas Jefferson was the first to wage war on the Muslims... In 1801, he sent a fleet of frigates with Marines aboard to stop the pirating, kidnapping, plundering and murders of the crews of American ships sailing the Mediterranean. It was and still is written in the (Q`uran) Koran - that Allah smiles on Islamists who capture, ransom or behead infidels.
A couple of recently beheaded journalists come to mind don't they? No ransom paid!
This was when the term 'Leathernecks' was forever tied to the Marines. Apparently because they wore stiff leather collars to protect their necks from swinging scimitars. And I know you've all heard first line of the Marine Hymn: "From the Halls of Montezuma - to the Shores of Tripoli"....
Yep, this was the war that defeated Algiers, Tunis, Tripoli, and Morocco and made the oceans safe once again. In 1788, Jefferson wrote to John Adams --: "From what I learn from the temper of my countrymen and tenaciousness of their money, it will be more easy to raise ships and to fight these pirates into reason, than money to bribe them."
I hope y'all will keep this in mind the next time you hear some liberal isolationist say we have not business in this ISIS war. Appeasement loses - only force wins!
Here is a short 8 minute video that explains the Koran's teaching even to my level!
I also hope many Americans will surf some these topics for themselves to fully understand and be able to explain the necessity of the Christian world's actions... This not just a Holy war -- it's a war on thuggery, murders, rapists, and kidnappers..... acting by the Book!
A Google search of "Barbary Coast, Mediterranean" is a good place to start. but don't just use the words Barbary Coast, or you'll get more info on California than you want or need!
