THE MUSLIM DISCOVERY OF AMERICA

Více o knize

Some authorities assert that Muslims arrived in America long before Columbus. This claim raises questions about the timeline of the Americas' discovery and the interactions between Native Americans and non-Native peoples. Traditionally, Columbus's voyage is seen as the first significant contact, ending thousands of years of isolation for Native Americans, who had been settled since around 13,000 BC, with only minor Norse incursions noted. Some researchers suggest that Muslims may have reached the Americas as early as the 700s, particularly from Islamic Spain, during Caliph Abdullah Ibn Mohammed's rule. A notable Muslim historian, Abul-Hassan Al-Masudi, included a map in his writings that depicted the Atlantic as an "unknown territory," hinting at the Americas. This assertion is significant for Muslims, as it aligns with certain Koranic verses and claims that America was intended to be Islamic. The book explores the history of Muslims in America, from the eighteenth century to the present, revealing patterns of Islamic deception and subversive jihad. It also challenges the narrative that many U.S. and Canadian place names have Arabic-Islamic origins and critiques the portrayal of American history by Islamic and pro-Islamic media. The content is both alarming and informative, shedding light on these controversial topics.
