NIHAD AWAD, executive director of designated terrorist group CAIR (Council on American Islamic Relations) says, “Muslims discovered America”
CAIR spokesjihadist, Nihad Awad, lends credence to the absurd notion that Columbus discovered America only after Muslims did. We know Muslims keep rewriting their own dark and shameful history, but now they are trying to rewrite American history.
According to Bureau of Indigenous Muslim Affairs (BIMA) a rather obscure and radical Islamic organization, a Muslim crew of explorers sailed up the Mississippi River in the 12th century and established a colony that entitles Muslims to call themselves indigenous Americans. Real Native Americans are not pleased.
Breitbart Native Americans are very angry to learn that Muslims in the United States of America are being touted as “indigenous”, a complete falsehood. The fact is, American Indians are the indigenous people of North America. Organizations like BIMA marginalize native Americans in favor of Muslims, and Indians are not pleased.
The controversy surrounding the initial Democrats’ embrace of BIMA’s incorrect use of the term “indigenous” to describe American born Muslims is expected to further diminish the party’s standing among Native Americans.
It remains unclear if BIMA is an actual organization or a recently established “shell corporation” opportunistically set up by a small group of radical Muslims to take advantage of the Democratic Party’s ideological desire to appeal to politically correct diversity. BIMA seems to be one of those historical revisionist groups that is trying to write Islam into parts of history where it never existed and exaggerate its influence where it did.
Jibril Hough, a “spokesman” for BIMA, claims Muslims lived in the Americas before the arrival of Columbus in 1492 and his views are reflected in the “indigenous Muslims” claim included in the group’s title. Hough said not only did Muslims visit America first, but it was a Muslim who led Columbus on his famous voyage of discovery.
If Muslims truly want credit for the role they played in the opening of America to Europe, then they just need to look at the historic record. Continued Muslim aggression in the Mideast and southern Mediterranean in the 15th century made trade with Asia via the normal land routes difficult. This inspired people like Prince Henry the Navigator to begin looking for new trade routes that would allow them to circumvent Muslim bandits and pirates.
In 1453, the fall of Constantinople to Muslim aggressors ended the last vestiges of the Roman Empire and blocked major trade routes to India and Asia. In 1492, less than 40 years later, Columbus set sail to find a route to the Indies, during which he literally bumped into the Americas.
If Muslims weren’t historically such a violent people, Columbus might not have ever set sail. So it’s safe to say that the land of the free is indirectly the result of Muslim barbarity.
MUSLIM REVISIONIST HISTORY set to music:
“Muslims discovered America.” “Jerusalem is an Arab city.” “The Holocaust never happened.” This is just some of the falsified ‘history’ that students in America’s K-12 classrooms are being taught in recent years–with the help of taxpayer money.
