Thomas Jefferson and the Muslims

There IS a reason that the Marine Hymn refers to "the shores of Tripoli."  For those of you who are still dope-smoking twinks
holding that Islam is "the religion of peace," read on.
...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 government and family members to pay whatever their Mohammedan captors demanded.

These extortionists of the high seas represented the North African Islamic nations of Tripoli, Tunis, Morocco, and Algiers - collectively referred to as the Barbary Coast - and presented a dangerous and unprovoked threat to the new American Republic...


...In 1786, Thomas Jefferson and John Adams met with Tripoli's ambassador to Great Britain to ask by what right his nation attacked American ships and enslaved American citizens, and why Muslims held so much hostility towards America, a nation with which they had no previous contacts.

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 would not acknowledge 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."
...

Sounds familiar, no?

From ONE American President, there was a reaction.

...Jefferson, until now, had been against America raising a naval force for anything beyond coastal defense, but, having watched his nation be cowed by Islamic thuggery for long enough, decided that it was finally time to meet force with force.

He dispatched a squadron of frigates to the Mediterranean and taught the Muslim nations of the Barbary Coast a lesson he hoped they would never forget....he formed what is the 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.


That worked.

Prior to this, the practice was to pay ransom to the Muslims, a practice re-instituted by Barakh Hussein Obama.  Which of his successors will emulate Thomas Jefferson?

    ........This video first surfaced online through Reconquete Francaise, a Catholic movement dedicated to reconquering secular France for Christ. It first was reported as being a Muslim. Some sources have said the man was an alcoholic. It is possible too that he may have been both (a lot of Muslims in Europe are heavy drinkers). Either way, this video is how to deal with Islam, the proper way,,,,,,,,,
