“Islam in America did not begin in 1965 or in the 1800s. It’s woven into the fabric of this nation.”

The speaker claims that the history of Islam in America didn’t begin in 1965 (when immigration laws changed, allowing for much more immigration from non-European countries) or anytime in the 20th century. She claims Islam is “woven into the very tapestry of this nation.” Yet where is it? Where are the Muslim Founding Fathers? Where are the Muslim signers of the Declaration of Independence? Where are the Muslims who fought in the Civil War (on either side)? Where are the Muslim veterans of the Spanish-American War, or World War I, or World War II, or Korea? There might be a handful for Korea, and subsequent conflicts, but the fact is that otherwise, Islam has had no significant presence in the U.S. until September 11, 2001. And it was only after that date that mass Muslim migration began, so most Muslims in the U.S. have been here less the 25 years.
The purpose of this fanciful claim is to stymie efforts to resist Sharia or end Muslim migration into the U.S. It is there home, it has always been their home, and Sharia is as American as apple pie. Yet once the Muslim community grows large enough and powerful enough, it will begin to assert its rights at the expense of other communities. Islam in power is not interested in being part of a tapestry. It is the whole thing, with no room for anything else.

Liar.

Pretty much in the league of “The prophets – Abraham to Jesus – were muslim”. Not hard to sell to ignoramuses like AOC who think that Venezuela is south of the equator
MIGRANT BOB says
No they were not Muslims. What are you saying. Islam is lying. Mohamed only came much much later than the bible.
The Koran came much after Mohamed and made up and STOLE MY BIBLE STORIES. Mohamed thought Mary was the trinity!
If he does not know , why tell us these lies! Don’t mislead people someone may become confused about ISLAMIC THEFT! It does not know the Bible stories correctly .
If you want to praise Islam then find something like they are strong in finding a country and taking it over slowly. I admire their commitment to winning. All them are together. Look at us! We are charlatans in the western world!
Wellington says
Migrant Bob: Your exaggerated sense of your own knowledge has disallowed you from realizing that Infidel was being sarcastic. He knows full well the many usurpations of the worst religion ever devised by man. You missed this. You seem in your arrogance to miss a lot and most certainly you have underestimated many regular commenters here at JW.
Ugly 312 says
Wellington, thank you for sending the message I wanted to as well. You just delivered way more eloquently than I could have.

ploome says
muslims believe:
http://islam101.com/dawah/newBorn.htm
Thus, every child is born with a natural belief in Allah and an inborn inclination to worship Him alone called in Arabic the “Fitrah”.
If the child were left alone, he would worship Allah in his own way, but all children are affected by those things around them, seen or unseen.
The Prophet reported that Allah said, “I created my servants in the right religion but devils made them go astray”.
The Prophet also said, “Each child is born in a state of “Fitrah”, then his parents make him a Jew, Christian or a Zoroastrian, the way an animal gives birth to a normal offspring. Have you noticed any that were born mutilated?” (Collected by Al-Bukhaaree and Muslim).
………….they claim everything-and if you disagree, or interfere with their da’wah, they consider that an attack on islam, and then they their sharia says the can kill you….that would be a “defensive” reaction, and not an aggressive action.
………..convenient, isn’t it…because islam is a peaceful religion
So, just as the child submits to the physical laws which Allah has put in nature, his soul also submits naturally to the fact that Allah is his Lord and Creator. But, his parents try to make him follow their own way and the child is not strong enough in the early stages of his life to resist or oppose the will of his parents. The religion which the child follows at this stage is one of custom and upbringing and Allah does not hold him to account or punish him for this religion. (By Abu Ameena Bilal Phillips )
MIGRANT BOB says
That’s nothing. You should really see what they believe. It tells they are not allowed to shake our hands.
And it tells also to take Christians hostages for ransom. Why are no Christians and Jews inside Arabia? Because it tells we are not even allowed to be there at all! No existence allowed.
All kinds of stuff. It tells to do this very bad thing to girls, I won’t repeat it in case there are women. But it’s an Islamic surfer surgery.
Guess what? It tells a grown damn man can marry inside the cradle. How horrible is this. This cannot be allowed to come here at all.
It tells if a simple child steals a bread, it tells to chop off the hand like that is supposed to be good.
Where do you think Hamas got their directions? Where do you think Omar talab Mandami Omar fatah and all these invaders learn? They pillaged their own land. What do you think it tells them about here? They will capture us soon. When they get 10 percent population it’s over. They begin capturing pillaging and out sharia courts. Islamic patrols are soon coming.
You should go look stronger at what it really says. Look at Iran. A single man can make any rule all from their Koran.

Yes they are stealing our Bible. And they only came here recently. Did you hear how Muslims say they founded America! No this is a Christian country. ANYBODY does not like that, go to where you came from!
somehistory says
Mr. John Quincy Adams, would that he could speak. and prove the contradiction, the lies told by the muzzie.
The U.S. Marines with their wearing of leather on their necks, would that those from olden days were able to speak.
History proves the lies being told about the ‘fabric”….just lots of *fabricated* balderdash and hogwash being spread in order to continue the ruse, the takeover and destruction of society and people.

Spot on, Somehistory.
Patton says
We need to read our country of this pestilence, like we attacked polio. Their presence will cripple us in every way: politically, culturally, morally, financially, and spiritually. These scumbags have contributed absolutely nothing to America and to western civilization generally they are staying on this country as they are on Europe It may be too late over there, but God willing it’s not too late here. From Jerusalem, to Athens to Rome. From the Renaissance, to the enlightenment, to the industrial revolution and information age: Based on biblical values and the Judeo-Christian tradition, we know damn well what made America great from the founding fathers all the way to DJT. If we allow this gutter cult to continue to weave its way into our society, like a snake into high grass, we will run the risk of losing everything, including the patrimony that was left to us by generations of Americans who spent their treasure and spilled their blood so that our great Democratic republic could be formed and sustained With some real effort, faith in God above and perseverance, we can continue to thrive, but not if we put our heads in the sand like a bunch of ostriches. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

“Islam has had no significant presence in the U.S. until September 11, 2001. And it was only after that date that mass Muslim migration began”
One only needs to ponder that, to realize how insane and sick the West has become.
The rational reaction to 9/11 would have been to isolate Islam like a plague bacillus, to keep it from our shores. Instead… let’s let in more and more, to add to our country’s “enrichment”!
࿗Infidel࿘ says
Very true! Outside foreign policy wonks at the Council of Foreign Relations eager to appease the Saudis (who at the time were hardcore Wahabis, unlike the MbS led ones of today), or law enforcement investigating the first attack on the towers in 1993, no one gave a second thought to either muslims nor islam
40 rounds says
It was to assure the world that, see, the US is not racist or Islam phobic despite what they just did to us. Sick
jimjames says
Be aware of the ‘red-green’ alliance.
Maria V says
Thats a bunch of crap!
Do they say that Islam was responsible for the Barbary pirates attempting to infiltrate and take over our country in the 18th century? Maybe that’s what they mean, that they have a stake in the US
These muslimes in their political ideology, in their Koran, STATES They CAN LIE If IT BENEFITS THEM.

Does this have something to do with the level of violence in the US?

I don’t suppose anybody corrected her on the spot

Correcting a small type of graphical error. When I put my comment in, I meant to say RID our country not read our country. I can blame it on old, but still fat thumbs! 👍🏻
And yes, I am certain that 40 Rounds is right. No one there in Illinois would’ve corrected her. Seems to me that I remember another idiot that made a similar remark. Oh yeah, now I remember, it was a poor excuse for United States president whose initials are BHO. 🤢🤮

Who remembers Hussain Obummer’s mentor and advisor Jeremiah Wright ?
He was a fine example of the Judeo-Christian principles America was founded on. The only difference was that he wanted to take America down like Bernie or that new kook in Maine. Nobody i served with in Iraq as infantry remembers this guy. It’s interwoven, the hard left, the hate for America and all it stands for, and the Ifestation by Ackbarbarians. G-d save America please as we seem to not be doing a very good job.

somehistory says
I wouldn’t call the so-wrong Wright” a “fine example” of the principles taken from Judaism and Christianity. I’d call him a *good bad example*…an example of what not to be if one wants to be a good person; one whom the Creator of those principles would approve.
Ugly 312 says
Sorry somehistory, I should have been a tad .ore sarcastic, perhaps stop doing this on my phone roo. If I reread it I would sound smarter.
Rev Wright was as true a pos as could be and he had the ear of our president.
Hope you are doing just fine.
Richard
somehistory says
Thank you, Richard, for the clarification and the hopes for my finery.
. Too many people swallowed the idea that he and bo are Christian. Nether are. Anyone can claim to be, but if they don’t actually follow Christ, they are lying….which is what bo did about most things.
The wright pretender, was an example of what racist hearts do to those who have them.
ploome says
the rev. Wright used to be a muslim
https://www.foxnews.com/us/president-obamas-ex-pastor-jeremiah-wright-jesus-was-a-palestinian
A reader from Free Republic has dug up an old article last year (March 07) From TNR about Obama. It was written by Ryan Lizza, Senior editor at The New Republic. It’s a biographical piece, but in the article, it explicitly states that Jeremiah Wright is a former Muslim.(and Jesus was a palestinian)
https://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2009/06/rev_wright_jews_aint_going_to.html
Ugly 312 says
ploome, thank you. Having lived in Chicago for close to thirty years i remember having heard that amongst locals. I was trying to find that to share with somehistory, but I could not. It was a big deal having made it on the local news and people thought it would kill Obama s shot at the white house. That is the real reason Obama distanced himself so quickly from the Rev.
Again, thank you very much.

Troybeam says
Repeat often enough and people will believe it.
Tim gallagher says
All Muslim countries are backward, barbaric disasters as you would expect if you realised what a load crap Islam is. Some Muslim countries are rich through luck in having oil. Islam aims to drag the human race back to living 7th century arab life. The USA is a successful country which proves that Muslims have not had much involvement in the country. If Muslims had much of a role the us would a basket case. Muslims will wreck any country. This Muslim is going on with the usual Muslim bullshit.
abu taleb says
If there is, then it must be some evil thing.
Btw, I still haven’t got an answer of what good thing Muhammad has done that did not have ulterior motive to profit himself. I even give an example of what I have done, asking muslims whether Muhammad would do the same or not. No answer, even though I don’t consider myself as a good person.
So, if Islam has woven into some history, it certainly is not a good thing.

Illinois: Muslim speaker at state capital claims that Islam is ‘woven into the tapestry of this nation’
………………………………………
Well, the US *did* create its navy to prevent the Barbary Pirates from pirating our ships and enslaving our crews.
Then, it was largely Musiims who enslaved Black Africans.
MIGRAT BOB says
Yes I know this. These are Omar’s ancestors. These pilots were Somalians and their descendants are still pirating there now and they have a home grown cocaine plant they all get high on.
Omar’s pirate family is also a communist . Basically every bad thing you can imagine I learned it about them. Communist Islamist piracy anti semite . Omar brought her pirate religion to us and thomas Jefferson warned us about these Somalians 300 years ago.
Israel is foolish making friends with any Somalians. Black hawk down. You should read this history that nobody knows anymore. You seem like a smart guy here. Basically do you attack Americans you get a reward here we give you a governor or senator seat, it’s a free lunch for all your invaders you bring with you to displace patriots WITH PIRATES we were sent a message abotj 300 years ago.
gravenimage says
MIGRAT (sic) BOB, I *no not know* why you continue to claim that no one here knows anything about Islam, when this is clearly mistaken.
I have written here before about Black Hawk Down and the Somali pirates–why pretend that I have not?
And Israel has no diplomatic relations with Somalia at all–where are they “foolish making friends with…Somalians”?
MIGRANT BOB says
go look it up on the internet if you didn’t hear. Somalia Land is opening an embassy in Israel. These are the same as Omar.
I would not trust those Somalians one bit. This is suspicious.
Somalia Land is a new country and ONLY ISRAEL believes in it. I believe they are all bad.
gravenimage says
Somaliland is not Somalia. I don’t know if this is a good move on Israel’s part or not. but this is not the same group responsible for Black Hawk Down.
MIGRANT BOB says
Keep finding ones to trust and see how it goes. Israel wants a base to attack the Yemeni caveman and keep a eye on them.
This is a mistake to trust these people who accomplish nothing in 10 thousand years but ripping off Medicare.
My policy is build a 1,000 strong BOMBER force. And you flatline these hellholes one by one if they peep at us wrongly . Let the chips fall where they may.
Nienie says
Barbary (Coast) Wars began 1800. Swedish ships attacked & crewmen humiliated and sold into slavery. American ships later, the same. As POTUS, Thomas Jefferson requested a copy and studied the q ran and was perplexed.
US Marines began wearing leather collars to protect their necks from the demonic mo slum swords. That is how those Warriors came to be known as “LeatherNecks”.
Single male university students coming in on student visas 1980 and chain migration…
This is how mo slums are, “woven in the fabric of America history.”
GOD blessed America.
Now the United States must bless GOD & repent of sins, and ask for His help again
against this demonic death cult.
ploome says
your message is very valid and I totally agree
it would be more palatable if you were to drop the “repent of sins” angle
replacing one religious jihad with another is distasteful to many
also referring to moslems as mo slums, muzzies seems juvenile and does not reflect positively on the writer/speaker
Nienie says
Thank you.

all of us here have the same goal…..we love this country
