I find it very interesting that the white slave makers and masters made every effort to keep the black slave from knowing anything about his/her connection to Islam and Africa.
You mentioned President Washington but did you know, he outlawed the teaching of Islam in America and it was forbidden to have black muslim captive slaves to inter mix with the other non-muslim black slaves.
This country is not friends with Islam because Islam means total submission to the will of God this makes God the center of everything and every facet of life and that means no separtion of church and state.
Sir you must have forgotten that it was President Nixon who said the greatest threat to democracy is not communism but fundamentalist Islam and from that point on every president after Nixon has had some type of conflict with a muslim nation. Please go check your facts first before you try to blind the blind again.
Sir what you should write about is the war that is taking place Armaggedon the battle between good and evil. Islam or Democracy study these two words at the root not the surface and draw a conclusion.
Sir you mention the Bush administration responded to unprovoked Muslim aggression. Sir you said they responded with offers of financial aid and attempts to build democracy in the Muslim world but you forgot about the bombs that were dropped in the process and the countless innocent lives that have been lost.
I find your article very hypocritical at best and misleading in your attempt to say America is Friends of Islam just because of a piece of paper. When has the whiteman ever honored a document or treaty when it concerned people of color just ask the native americans about written treaties.
