This poetgirl on Instagram says some off the wall shit.
Some of these old bitches have totally lost their mind and just spread misinformation.
This is more than mildly infuriating for me but I wasn't quite sure where else to post this lol.
~20% of the slaves brought to America were Muslim. Several fought during the Revolutionary War including Bampett Muhamed, Yusuf ben Ali (also known as Joseph Benhaley), and Joseph Saba: https://nmaahc.si.edu/explore/stories/african-muslims-early-america
TIL that nobody in the US military that has died has never ever been Muslim.
Hey, they never said anything about Muslims in foxholes! Lol
Post the 10 commandments written in Arabic. Watch the reactive hilarity ensue.
"Christians" also stole this land and genocided people who had lived here since long before they came. Those who don't like this should return to where their forefathers came from, no?
Didn't the Christians have slaves that they brought over fight too? I'm sure some of them had different religious beliefs.
No, because, you see, after a certain amount of time the land just defaults to the ownership of whoever currently occupies the land, morally speaking 🥰. Why yes, I do happen to be the current occupant of the land, why do you ask? Oh, the amount of time? That depends, of course!
Damn that is so good. Take my upvote!
And the land of the free(not you) and the home of the brave(Until we killed them all off with blankets full of smallpox)
They should totally post the ten Qurandments!
Wrong... A simple google search shows that Muslims did indeed fight in the US revolutionary war along side other colonists
Or you could just say the 10 commandments are part of Islam.
They're part of the Old Testament, which pulls from Jewish scripture, but it's all Abrahamic to me. They should post the Beatitudes if they really want to keep things Christian-specific, but they won't. Why? Just read them (and the corresponding Woes in Luke) and you'll see. The Wikipedia article should be enough: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beatitudes
Cool, and dickish on rightwingers part. But t also I didn't realize they were even a minority population then past like- random individuals and families
Why not post the Beatitudes then? Too gay for you?
Adjective-noun-number profile? That's a bot
It is not. I confirmed it by digging further. It is a teacher from Texas
Christians fought for the land? You are talking about the genocide of native Americans? The same ones that owned slaves?... Yeah ok, I understand why YOU like them so much now...
That is why they are trying to ban the facts you just shared.
Nothing but pro-White Nationalism propaganda allowed
About 20-30% of the people enslaved and deported to the US were Muslims.
The "Christians" brought Islam to North America by force.
"Nyeah nyeah, my god is better than yours" - some cunt failing to realize they worship the same god
aka a nonexistant one
But the same nonexistent god of Abraham.
pretty much, but it doesn't matter to them. What matters is what wrote the mastermind that invented all this bullshit and wrote it in a book so they can profit from it
indigenous people did, are you ok to show their spirituality in schools? I am sure there will be mass conversions lol
I have met Muslims who fight for America. Let's see her military service that she's so proud of
Even if it wasn't for all the other instances already mentioned, there were quite a few muslim combat interpreters that fought with the US troops in Afghanistan etc. only to be left behind and they sure as fuck got killed.
..them and their families.

The Founders of this nation explicitly included Islam in their vision of the future of the republic. Freedom of religion, as they conceived it, encompassed it. Adherents of the faith were, with some exceptions, regarded as men and women who would make law-abiding, productive citizens. Far from fearing Islam, the Founders would have incorporated it into the fabric of American life.
"If God truly does exist, he more so loves the atheist who questions the world around him than the Christian who blindly follows."
Thomas Jefferson
50% of the Founding Fathers were agnostic or atheist. My question is: why does she hate America?
So we should display religious things of only the original occupiers of the land? I don't think she's going to be happy with the conclusion there.
My mom once asked if my Jewish girlfriend celebrated Thanksgiving. When I scoffed, she reminded me that there weren't any Jews on the Mayflower.
I reminded her that there weren't any Catholics either.
Muslims have a long and proud history of serving this country with honor and distinction for centuries.
