President Jefferson Had a Koran to Study the Barbary Muslim Enemy

Muslims in US Congress Try to Rewrite History Claiming President Thomas Jefferson Was Friendly With Muslims Because He Had Their Book ... FALSE!

12-26-18, Robert Spencer -- In an effort to rewrite early American history to put Muslims in it, and to recast President Thomas Jefferson as an Islamophilic multiculturalist, American Muslim's speak about his Koran. The reality of this issue is that the president owned an Islamic Koran because he understood that one must know one’s enemy in order to  defeat him. 

​In 1786, Jefferson and John Adams met in London with Sidi Haji Abdrahaman, the eyalet (administer) of Tripolitania’s ambassador to London. Jefferson recounted in a letter to Congress what Abdrahaman’s response was when he and Adams asked him “concerning the ground of the pretensions to make war upon nations who had done them no injury.” The 'Barbary Pirates' [aka Ottoman army Muslims] were attacking ships in the Atlantic. Abdrahaman said: "...written in their Koran, that all nations who should not have answered their authority were sinners, that it was their right and duty to make war upon them wherever they could be found, and to make slaves of all they could take as prisoners, and that every Mussulman who should be slain in battle was sure to go to Paradise."
