Only one correction-One Founder, Jefferson, Read the Koran and Saw Islam as a Threat

PE,

Only one correction - one Founder did appreciate the threat of Islam. Jefferson read the Koran and saw Islam as a threat. His curiosity was piqued by the Islamic piracy threat from Tripoli. Thus our Marines have "...the shores of Tripoli..." in their official hymn. Sadly, as Daniel notes in the original article, our academics have followed the same PC as Europe and the UK and parrot the apologetic lies that cover the threatening truth about Islamic Jihad.
