Washingon, Jefferson, Adams all terrorized by islam

Submitted by PDM (United States), Jul 6, 2006 at 10:05

While Washington was president, Jefferson was ambassador to France, and Adams ambassador to England, merchant vessels from America were being attacked, hostages taken and cargo stolen off the coast of Northern Africa. The Europeans had been paying ransom for some time for these attacks.

Who or what was attacking these vessels? muslims

When TJ and JA questioned the ambassador from Tripoli about this matter, the reply was that, "our prophet and our koran tells us to do these things and we have a right to do this."

TJ and JA submitted a report to congress and therefore this is recorded in American archives - look it up.

islam has been attacking for 1400 years to become dominant. It is time to put an end to this nonsense.
