First Ever America's Muslim by Bensmart04(m): 10:18pm On Mar 11, 2015
What does it mean for a religion to be
woven into American history?

The presence of Muslims in the early
United States is well known to scholars
historians have put their population
in the tens of thousands -- yet when
President Obama noted last month that
"Islam has been woven into the fabric of our country since its founding," he
was greeted with incredulous outrage.

There was controversial Christian
historian David Barton scoffing that
Islam's influence could be seen mainly
in the role followers of Muhammad
played in the slave trade and the
Barbary Wars, while South Carolina Congressman Jeff Duncan wondered if
the president's "Jakarta elementary
education" might be responsible for
his view of the past. An editor of a Catholic newspaper put
doubts about the president's historical
literacy plainly when he asked, "Is he
high?" But it's not up for argument that this
majority Christian nation has a spiritual
history much more diverse than
usually supposed.
As Obama's critics have noted, there
were, of course, no Muslims among the Founding Fathers.

Thomas
Jefferson and John Adams both
owned copies of the Quran, but they
may have been as unaware of Muslims
living in the young United States as
David Barton and Jeff Duncan are today.
