| 6. I don't suppose she mentioned Article 11 of the ensuing Treaty of Tripoli, did she? |
|
"Art. 11. As the Government of the United States of America is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion,—as it has in itself no character of enmity against the laws, religion, or tranquility, of Mussulmen,—and as the said States never entered into any war or act of hostility against any Mahometan nation, it is declared by the parties that no pretext arising from religious opinions shall ever produce an interruption of the harmony existing between the two countries."
I don't have the heart to listen to it to find out, but right wingers always skip that when they bring up the Barbary War.

| 7. First you have to read a few history books. |
|
Most Muslims were grateful that the Americans freed them from the tyrants who controlled them 200 years ago. It was only in the past 60 years that we pissed every Muslim off by siding with the leaders and not the common people.
