Hillary Clinton claims that there were Muslims in America since George Washington was President. Is there any validity to this claim?

Great read on this Capt Seid Waddell I had never considered that angle- it was not that i did not agree with her or disputed her statement- just did not know.

I never really thought about this. I am unsure if I had read about this before. My mother's maiden name is Locke.

Muslims living in America 200 years ago is relevant to what today? According to the articles/references most were slaves. She needs to go back to Arkansas instead of the White House. Semper Fi.

SGT Efaw (Mick) G. - Enough with the 'african-american' reference!!! SOB, my ancestors are MORE recent immigrants than those supposedly from the 'slaves' and I DON'T identify as a 'European-American'!!! Furthermore, ALL of you that think the OTHER Clown in the tent will Serve THIS Nation better, you are in for a RUDE awakening! Just sayin'

We don't want her in Arkansas, except maybe for target practice. She and slick Willie already did far too much damage when they were here.

Not that anyone would dare challenge her for fear of dying young.........of natural causes of course.

CPT Pedro Meza
SPC Alexander Brandt - Me I will wait for the Supreme Court to make that decision because in the past many were told NO, because they were born outside, which is why the Birthers Movement was born.

McCain’s Canal Zone Birth Prompts Queries About Whether That Rules Him Out
John McCain was born in the Panama Canal Zone. So is he still a “natural-born citizen” and therefore eligible to be president?

SPC Alexander Brandt - If it ever goes before the Supreme Court, the justices will have to rely on precedents to which there are non, so in practice all POTUS have been born on US soil.

I honestly was just curious. I was unsure of when Islam immigrated into the North American colonies.

Yes, it's accurate as displayed on the meme.
As a matter of fact there was a smear campaign against Pres. Jefferson accusing him of being a Muslim.

There were also cases that state he was a Deist. No one really knows.

SrA Edward Vong - Exactly so. I merely used him as a historical example since he could be clearly placed with George Washington. His response to the campaign was one of "confusion" if I recall correctly ("why does it matter?" was the gist) much like general feel trying to find out his actual religious views.

Many people seem to believe that the presence of Islam n the US is a recent phenomenon. This proves that it is not. It raises the question of whether Muslims (as an entire religion) are a threat, or if the threat emanates from a minority of violent radicals who operate in the name of Islam.

Predominantly black West-African slave-traders sold black slaves from tribes they conquered to the merchants who shipped them to the Americas primarily ENS (Join to see). Some of those slaves were Muslim as Muslim practice dictated convert or die and many African slave traders were Muslim. Hillary would never mention the aspects of slave trading.
In the early 19th century we went to war with the Barbary Pirates who were capturing European and American sailors and selling them as slaves to Muslim leaders around the Mediterranean.
I concur with Capt Seid Waddell's and CPT Jack Durish's responses.

who cares , its a religion, not RACE, what if I was a MUSLIM, would everyone here just stop responding to me ? What if I believed in a damn rock ? And I do believe that the fact that we've had Muslims here for a quite some time. One of my best friends is now a Veteran but he is Muslim and I respect him no matter what. He served with me in National Guard in Afghanistan.

The fact is that Muslims will fight just as hard or harder to insure freedom of the people they are defending than some other troops just there to do their duty. and I say some because most troops from all branches I have met are very nice people that fought hard but showed compassion to civilians! My daddy is a vet of the AF and hes nice until you do or say something that riles him up. He will help out those in need and defend those that need it. Oh and, my daddy is Christian, were one big happy, diverse, family!

Pawel, it's NOT even a 'true religion', it is a life style and governing force for them. Huge difference and when the 'balloon goes up' in the final days, that 'friend' of yours will slit your throat in a heartbeat. Don't believe me, ask him!

Ok, with all due respect ENS (Join to see), it's a moot point. Do you think she would say something like that without checking on it first? I don't. I'm not even a close fan of hers, but as she once stated...
