BARRY: "I also know that Islam has always been a part of America's story."

Yes it has, almost from the beginning . . . and it's always been the same sorry story, too.


(Picture: ""Decatur's Conflict with the Algerine at Tripoli. Reuben James Interposing His Head to Save the Life of His Commander" Copy of engraving by Alonzo Chappel, August, 1804.")

Remember Woody Guthrie's song about the sinking of the USS Reuben James? The ship was named in honor of the courageous boatswain. During "hand-to-hand combat, Reuben James, with both of his hands already wounded, positioned himself between Lieutenant Decatur and a sword-wielding pirate. Willing to give his life for his captain, James took a blow from the sword and survived."

  1. Yes, Islam is a part of America's Story-unfortunately it's the part about jets being hijacked and flown into buildings and kiling innocent people. Maybe he should have mentioned that.....

  2. BHO is actively contributing to the whitewash of Islam and rewriting history in the leftist tradition of revisionism.
