The Barbary Wars

America's beef with islamic jihad goes back 200 years, at least. But in reality the jihad started with Muhammad 1400 years ago.The jihad is incumbent on every Muslim and continues, relentless, regardless of any loss of live to the ummah, until the world is Islamic. Thomas Jefferson already had a fair bit of malheur with the Algeriennes and the Dey of Tunis.

"Everything for defense but not one cent for tribute"- ring a bell? The Barbary wars are the reason why America built a navy, and every child in the US today should learn this essential history, including the crusades, which were in fact defensive warfare against the Muhammedan expansion, though 400 years late. Today the global jihad is fueled by petro-dollars, maily from Saudi Arabia.

The Saudis have received the biggest transfer of wealth in human history, 10 trillion dollars since 1970, and a lot of this money is used to further conflict, conquest and the Islamization of Africa, Europe, Asia incl. Australia and America. It is a disaster. And now our mortal enemy is buying our networks, the Nasdaq, the London stock exchange and our institutions of higher learning. Mosques, bastions of Muhammedan imperialsim, are shooting up everywhere to poison the minds of the believers and to spread hatred and the jihad ideology.
