The Muslims at the mosque will be happy to explain all the things that Islam shares with Christianity.

Canada: Muslim cleric who said wishing people Merry Christmas is worse than murder says he was taken out of context

Muslim Rep. Rashida Tlaib to be sworn in on Jefferson’s Qur’an: “Muslims were there at the beginning”
Tlaib’s statement here is part of the ongoing effort to rewrite early American history to put Muslims in it, and to recast Thomas Jefferson as an Islamophilic multiculturalist. Reality was different.
