It is very important that he claims that “Islam was here before Christianity.” He is saying that America is Muslim land, and thus Muslims have a duty to reclaim it. This is the rationale behind the jihads against Israel and Spain also: any land that was once under Islamic rule belongs to Islam forever. “Drive them out from where they drove you out.” (Qur’an 2:191)
“California Imam Amir Abdel Malik-Ali: Islam Is Going To Save America; There Are Major Changes Coming To This Country; Muslims Were Here Before Christianity – Columbus Said So In His Diary,” MEMRI, May 1, 2026:
California imam Amir Abdel Malik-Ali said in a May 1, 2026 sermon at the Islamic Center of San Gabriel Valley that Islam was in North America before Christianity. He said that Christopher Columbus had written in his diary that he had seen mosques and people “dressed like Mohammedans” when he arrived in the Americas, but that this history is being hidden. He also said that Islam will play a major role in the changes coming to America, because Islam, the Quran, and the Sunnah have the solution people are looking for. He added that Islam is going to “save America.” The sermon was livestreamed on the YouTube channel of the Islamic Center of San Gabriel Valley.
Amir Abdel Malik-Ali: “They’ll tell you, ‘Go back home, go back home.’ And you should say, ‘Well actually, Islam was here before Christianity was.’ That’s a fact. Islam was in the Americas before Christianity was. Who admitted it? Columbus himself. When he was sailing off of the northeast coast of Cuba on October 8, 1492, and he was sailing off the northeast coast of Cuba, he put in his diary, he looked up on a mountain and he saw a mosque.
“That’s in his diary. And when he got up on the island and he saw the indigenous people, the so-called Indians, he said they were dressed like Mohammedans. That’s what Christopher Columbus wrote in his diary. Islam was here before Christianity. Muslims from Africa. But they do not want to show that particular history.
[…]
“There are major changes coming to this country. Muslims or Islam will play a major role. Why? Because we have a solution. And people are going to be looking for solutions. We have a solution. Allah, the praised and exalted, has given us the solution. We have the Quran, we have the Sunnah. That’s what’s going to save America.”
Wellington says
Oh yeah, Islam is the oldest religion on Earth. Islam established America. Abraham and Jesus were Muslim prophets before the last and greatest of the prophets arrived, i.e., Mohammed. Islam also invented planes and so much else that the West takes credit for, and on and on and on with this nonsense.
Islam is a sickness. Yes, believing in it is a kind of sickness. Any adult willingly believing in Islam as the true faith is missing a few toys in the attic. No exceptions, not one damn one.
Felix says
I guess you are correct in saying that Islam was on earth before Christianity because Islam is Satanic and Satan was in the Garden of Eden. Islam is evil. How they get away with this stuff from the simple minded masses is beyond me. Why women embrace it is ludicrous. Men embrace it because it encourages and embraces domination.

What lying nonsense from that muslim. Obviously Columbus was just describing a hill metaphorically.
” Far from being a neutral intrepid explorer, Columbus was shaped by, and reactive to, the geopolitical dominance of Islam, most notably the Ottoman Empire. His journey westward was not focused on discovery but rather a strategic attempt to circumvent Muslim power and forge a Christian alliance against it.”

Stacy says
A story written by a Muslim apologist and lots of revisionist history. A person putting their personal beliefs and claiming they knew Columbus better than anyone else.
Spain stole the wealth of the Muslims in Spain? Spain was wealthy long before the Muslims invaded and conquered it.
Also proof of the “Crypto-Muslims—Moriscos who secretly practiced Islam despite forced conversions—found ways to enter Spanish territories, including the Americas. Though officially barred from colonial migration, many slipped through bureaucratic cracks or traveled under false identities. ”
I am smelling another big lie. Just enough truth to give the false perception of believability… With lots of lies.

Alright. You have those filthy books of the demands of demons, so take them and leave. Any where you are, leave and the place will be better; a safer place for decent humans.
Compulsive liars and psychopaths always claim that they speak *fact.* The fact is, islime is built on satanic lies. Those lies help no one; those lies from the devil, the *real* false ‘god’ of islime, will “save” no one.
The scummy terrorist and devil worshipper who wrote down what he received from demons, was a con artist and faker. islime brings destruction and death and unhappiness to mankind.
Huh?!? says
Negotiations must end. Islam cannot be tolerated in the U.S. A harder line must be taken. Islam does not save any country. Islam enslaves. Human dignity is crushed. No, Islam was not here before Christianity. This man is lying. Islam is a study in blasphemy to Jesus Christ. The U.S. must get Islam out of the U.S.

Westman says
Yes. The conservatives are becoming aware in Europe but the liberal socialists don’t believe a word of what will happen to them as fellow travelers with Islam. They still think that smiling glad-handing is genuine for all Muslims. Poor saps.
Beans🫘 says
Get Islam out the us. The question really is will the American public be behind that?
We are a country under the rule of law. And there are a ton of Islamic friendly judges all over the us. And on the right, religious freedom is a huge deal to the judges on the right.
It is also a well known fact that conservative judges live in wealthy left wing neighborhoods and they are under massive pressure from their neighbors and friends. It is my belief when conservative judges make strange rulings against us, it’s because they want a pat on the head behind the scenes from their leftist counterparts. We made a mistake with Amy Barrett, she has to impress them to keep her family safe and acceptable socially. We on the other hand are very accepting, if a liberal judge was around, we would let them live their life’s
Actually a nation like France has much more wiggle room to cut Islam down than we do. I will be interested what happens there if the correct people win there.
Islam is bad says
The Qur’an is the most evil document in human history.
More evil than anything ever written by Karl Marx or followers of Marx.
More evil than anything ever written by Adolph Hitler or followers of Hitler.
And anyone who doesn’t agree, is part of the problem.
Ralph says
The wily mooslimes have published a book entitled, “The Clear Qur’an” which is a totally sanitized, kaffir-tolerable book they give to disbelievers and unbelievers. That is how I got one. I browsed through it, realized it was a smokescreen, and tossed it in the garbage, where it belonged.
gravenimage says
Yep–more Taqiyya.
Port Arthur says
Wow. I did not know that. I thought the Korean is. A very strict book that can’t be changed. I never heard that in debates with christians. I also never seen anybody form my church (Catholic) debate Islam for some reason. Maybe they pick and choose easy targets.
But what you claim makes sense. You white wash all the slavery stuff what I heard is in there. And also their messiah had children as his wives not women. How would you tell converts that. You just play with the translated book. Because now that I think about it, the original book is in Arab but you have to translate it to English.
Makes sense. I never have been approached by an Islamic person to question their belief in that book. But I heard they are very very sensitive about their book, and their messiah. You will get your ass beat if you ask the wrong thing. And if you don’t get beat up, then they will use this fake book to draw you into Islam.
Westman says
If Allah’s people were everywhere from the beginning, and being the best and brightest of all people, why didn’t those Muslims in the Americas discover Spain before Columbus discovered them?
These fake claims never hold logical water. Imams seem to hold power because of their ability to remember and expound on Islam’s scriptures yet are so logically and scientifically illiterate that they will swallow any story that promotes Islam.
If we are looking for the people who have contributed most relative to their size, it is the Jews. It’s hardly any wonder that Islam has demeaned them since its own inception. The jealousy is palpable.
Islam is a bad parent. A minority of its Muslim children are raising hell all over the planet, killing, raping, and stealing upon the Infidels. Yet it does nothing about it, nor do the brothers and sisters. It cries of how disrespected it is with, “Islamophobia”, yet does nothing to discipline and correct its murderous offspring – most likely because its scriptures support what the “wayward” children are doing.
Islam is in serious need of reform and Allah is now AWOL when sorely needed. Islam deserves the phobia until it reigns in the evil done in its name. How can we respect a bad parent when its children cannot be trusted.?
somehistory says
Good questions.
And if they were here and their ‘god’ is so great and powerful, how come the muzzies weren’t still here when the Pilgrims and others came? Why did they not stay and *subjugate* the infidels fleeing a tyranny?
If they were here as he claims, why are there so many wild hogs in Florida to this day, offspring of those released by some of the first explorers?
Too many *real* facts show him to be a monumental liar.
Westman says
Good questions! What this Imam says would be hilarious if he wasn’t so stupidly serious.

Of course, this thug is lying. Columbus saw a hill which looked like a mosque–by which he probably meant it was shaped like an onion dome. He never sais that the local people looked like Mohammadans.
There is of course *no* evidence that Islam discovered and colonized America. Islam was not a faith of discoverers.
࿗Infidel࿘ says
Yeah, it’s no less fancyful than the claim that Neil Armstrong converted to islam b’cos he heard something like the azaan on the moon. Incidentally, at that time, there were muslims who were outraged that a Kafir was setting foot on the moon
Even though I disagree w/ islamic claims on either Spain or Israel, they at least are right in that they once owned those countries and as per qur’an 2:191, have a right to reclaim those. But that rationale absolutely does not apply to anywhere in the Americas
gravenimage says
I’ve also heard the claim that Neil Armstrong converted to Islam and “moved to a Muslim country” The “Muslim country” in question? His hometown of Lebanon, Ohio.
commonsense says
As gravenimage says, Columbus never actually reported seeing a mosque in the New World – this claim, however, is a widely held belief among Muslims, who never bother to research the authenticity of such a claim in their eagerness to offer evidence – imaginary or not – of Islam’s supremacy. Muslims make a similar claim about Jesus’s predicting the advent of Muhammed, citing a passage in the New Testament, which they aver offers confirmation of this assertion. Their argument is, unsurprisingly, nonsensical. But many Muslims believe it to be true.
gravenimage says
Thanks, Commonsense. Agreed.
Beans🫘 says
Well if we are to even believe that, Columbus thought he saw INDIANS, meaning Hindus! So I guess we can take that mistake and just claim Hindus founded the new world as well!
What a foolish backward religion Islam is! If they had something cool we would see it, but they have nothing but poverty!

Mr. Raymond Ibrahim gives historical evidence that Columbus was hoping to find people who would help him fight the muzzlies in his part of the world.
Tim gallagher says
Islam is evil, rotten to the core, a filthy, totally degenerate load of garbage. All Islam and it’s cult members want to do is drag people back to living life the way 7th century Arabs lived. It does nothing good and positive for any human being. Muslim countries are sewers where human life is lived in a dark age. Sheer dumb luck in finding oil makes some Muslims rich but all Muslim countries are a hideous, barbaric mess. The idea that islam could save any non Muslim society is the greatest load of bullshit ever. Islam needs to be shut out of all non Muslim societies. It is toxic to human potential.

Oh, come on, Tim. You’re among friends. Tell us how you really feel about Islam.

“We have the Quran, we have the Sunnah. That’s what’s going to save America.’
Well, that’s curious, because it is my opinion that it is precisely those instruments of Satan that are going to DESTROY America.
Seeing the normative state of all those countries that embrace the Quran and Sunnah, I think I’d rather go with some other means to save America. As far as I can tell, other than those Muslims states that happen – by some trick played upon the world by G-d – to sit upon an ocean of oil, the Islamic world consists of a pullulating mass of misery and hatred.
So… thanks much for your kind suggestion Mr. Imam, but I would much rather stick with what we have.

Jewish California high school students given Qurans, encouraged to wear hijabs during class trip to mosque:
A group representing two Jewish parents of Palo Alto High School students, three former Jewish students, are suing the school over claims the children were exposed to the idea that Islam was aligned with (social justice work 🤣😂🤣. )
Students were handed Qurans while female students were told to wear hijabs, the Islamic face covering viewed by some as oppressive to women.
The lawsuit also alleges photos of the students were taken and posted on social media without parental consent.
Students were also indoctrinated about “Palestinian resistance” (Hamas) and “Israeli occupation”.
Oh how great is life?

I am also very sure these parents who are filing the suit will be outcasts among the left wing area there. I have been all over the Bay Area but never there. I heard it’s very woke and they love Muslims.
I was told it’s more woke than Sausalito, i stayed there…. I think. I stayed right across the Golden Gate Bridge the first town on the side facing the Bay. You’re form there I think you told me before.
But yea, if it was Sausalito the place was woke as hell. I prefer LA ten times over the Bay Area. A lot of good people in LA, even the democrats aren’t intolerant. But i just love the Bay Area itself. Too bad what it’s become!
Can you recommend somewhere where i can enjoy the area but not feel under siege by woke demon rats? I might go drive there from Texas, take the southern route, and swing up the Pacific Coast Highway (which I also missed🥺). I have to get the Benz “reliable” first….

North Americas Indians were muslims? Yes indians were constantly warring against each other so they do have that in common with muslims Other than that, American indian folklore, rituals, spirituality, etc, are most certainly not in accordance with islam. The white man fought wars against indians that indians eventually lost. After the indian wars were over the white man let the Indians keep their culture. The muslims would not be so kind to them. They would consider indian culture to be an abomination and wipe them out.
somehistory says
Part of my family ancestry includes Native Americans…Indians….and none were muzzies. None.
The various tribes put much store by things in nature, especially living things. Life was sacred to them. And still is to those who know their tribe and continue much of their culture.
Whereas muzzlies see themselves as *owners* of everything Indians don’t believe the Land belongs to man in any way close to what islime teaches.

I never heard this before so I had to check out such a bold statement: This is what took me a few minutes to discover:AI Overview Christopher Columbus did not write about actual Muslims or “Mohammedans” living in the New World, but he did use the word “mosque” once as a visual comparison to describe the shape of a mountain.The “Mosque” Diary EntryThe Date: On October 21, 1492, while sailing near the coast of Cuba, Columbus described a scenic landscape with a hill that resembled the shape of a mosque.The Meaning: Historians and scholars clarify that this was a metaphorical description of the land’s topography, not a real Islamic building. No actual mosques or pre-Columbian Muslim communities existed there

Islam is the death of America. Islam kills everything it consumes. There is no peace with Islam anymore than salvation for those who support them. America is getting payback for its evil “manifest destiny” propaganda. Thrasymicus centuries ago stated might makes right! Human nature has not changed much since then. To live as a free soul you must be willing to die to maintain it. The choice is ours, prepare to die for your freedom or be killed as a slave to Islam.
