THE ISLAMIC THREAT


Muslims Are Not Integral To America

The Historical Facts Regarding Estevanico


The first thing to note is Islam imposed slavery before anyone else in Africa aside from Africans themselves and maintained it before and after and after any European arrivals, often abducting and selling Africans, Europeans and anyone else into slavery. In addition to enslavement all slaves were subsequently forced to embrace Islam or die, a practice that still exists. It was not a "conversion" by choice as often re-framed by modern Muslim speakers you are lying on purpose.


Barbary Pirates, or corsairs, were Muslim privateers and raiders operating from the North African "Barbary States" (modern-day Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, and Libya) between the 16th and 19th centuries. Sanctioned by local governments and the Ottoman Empire, they plundered Mediterranean shipping and raided European coastal towns—as far north as Ireland and Iceland—to seize cargo and capture over a million people for the lucrative Arab slave markets.


  • Identity and Origin: Estevanico was a North African man born in Azemmour, Morocco, around 1500. He was enslaved sold to a Portuguese merchant and later sold to the Spanish nobleman Andrés Dorantes de Carranza.  

  • Arrival in Texas: In 1528, he was part of the Pánfilo de Narváez expedition, which ended in a shipwreck on the Gulf Coast near modern-day Galveston, Texas. He survived the initial landing and subsequent years of hardship, making him one of the first documented people of African origin to traverse what is now the United States.  

  • Baptism and Legal Status: Spanish colonial law at the time required all people entering the Spanish Americas to be Catholic. As a result, Estevanico was baptized as a Christian before his departure for the expedition.  

  • Religious Practice: There is no documented historical evidence that Estevanico practiced Islam while in North America. While he was raised in a region where Islam was the dominant culture, his status as a baptized slave of a Spanish nobleman meant he was legally and institutionally identified as a Christian. Whether he privately maintained Islamic beliefs or traditions during his travels remains a matter of conjecture, not historical record.

  • Exploration: Between 1528 and 1536, he traversed parts of modern-day Texas and northern Mexico with three other survivors (Álvar Núñez Cabeza de Vaca, Andrés Dorantes, and Alonso del Castillo Maldonado). In 1539, he served as a guide for an expedition into what is now New Mexico and Arizona, where he was killed by the Zuni people at the pueblo of Hawikuh.  


Separating Fact from Assumption


  • The Assumption of "First Muslim": The assertion that Estevanico was the "first Muslim in North America" is an interpretive label applied by modern writers and used often to try and push "we were here first" nonsense. It assumes that his childhood upbringing in Morocco effectively defined his identity throughout his life, regardless of his forced baptism and his service to Spanish Catholic expeditions.

  • The Assumption of "Discovery": The narrative that he "discovered" North America is historically inaccurate. He arrived as an enslaved member of a Spanish expedition that was already lost. His movements across the continent were guided by his need for survival and his role as an interpreter for his Spanish masters, rather than an independent voyage of exploration.  

  • The Lack of Pre-Columbian Evidence: There is no historical or archaeological basis for the claim that Muslims (or any other group from the Eastern Hemisphere) established a presence in North America prior to the 16th-century arrival of European-led expeditions.


Estevanico is a verified historical figure who arrived in Texas in 1528. It is a fact that he was born in a Muslim-majority region, and it is a fact that he was legally and officially a Christian at the time he traversed North America. Claims describing him as the "first Muslim in North America" rely on the assumption that his cultural origins outweighed his official religious conversion and social status, and they often conflate his presence as an explorer with the notion of "discovery."


The narrative that Muslims are a "central foundation" of America or that they "built the American story" is a modern rhetorical construction that relies on specific types of historical fiction. Here is a breakdown of how that fiction is engineered:


1. The "Foundational Influence" Fallacy


This is the claim that Islamic principles, law, or theology informed the creation of the U.S. government.


  • The Fiction: Proponents often cite Thomas Jefferson’s ownership of a Qur'an or his defense of religious freedom as evidence that Islam influenced the U.S. Constitution.

  • The Fact: Jefferson’s ownership of a Qur'an was a matter of intellectual curiosity and his advocacy for religious freedom was rooted in Enlightenment secularism—specifically the desire to separate the state from the Church of England, not the integration of Islamic jurisprudence. To claim this as a "foundation" of the nation is a historical fabrication that ignores the actual influences: British common law and Enlightenment political theory.


2. The "Participation Equals Architect" Fallacy


This is the claim that because individuals of Muslim origin participated in labor or survival in North America, they were "building" the nation’s foundations.


  • The Fiction: This narrative elevates the presence of individuals like the enslaved Muslims of the 17th–19th centuries to the status of "Founding Builders." It implies that their labor was an intentional contribution to a state-building project.

  • The Fact: These individuals were held in chattel slavery, systematically stripped of their ability to influence, shape, or build the political and institutional structures of the United States. Conflating the forced labor of an oppressed population with the "founding" of a nation is an ahistorical attempt to recast victims of slavery as intentional architects of the system that enslaved them.


3. The "Discovery" Fabrication


This is the claim that Muslims explored or settled the continent before Europeans, thereby staking an original claim.


  • The Fiction: Enthusiasts often point to the Piri Reis map or vague interpretations of Al-Masudi’s writings to argue for an "Islamic discovery" of America.

  • The Fact: These claims have been repeatedly debunked by historians and geographers. The Piri Reis map is a derivative document created after 1492 using European source material. There is zero archaeological, genetic, or credible documentary evidence of a pre-Columbian Islamic settlement in North America.


4. The "Cultural Blueprint" Myth


This is the attempt to link the foundations of American culture (such as music or civic values) to an Islamic "blueprint."


  • The Fiction: Some narratives claim that the "American spirit" or specific American art forms are fundamentally rooted in an Islamic legacy brought from West Africa.

  • The Fact: While West African cultural expressions certainly influenced the development of American music (like the blues), these were distinct regional traditions—not an "Islamic" structural foundation. Attributing the American cultural identity to an Islamic "blueprint" is a revisionist effort to artificially center a religion that held no institutional power in the development of American society.


In summary: The "Muslim foundation" narrative is a fiction created by projecting modern multicultural values onto a history where they did not exist. It transforms presence into influence, and survival into nation-building, to create a legitimacy that is not supported by the historical record.


As for Jews that make up the same kind of crap:


The narrative that Jewish people are a "central foundation" of the United States—implying that Judaism as a faith or Jewish institutional governance was a primary architect of the American political and legal framework—is a historical distortion. Like other narratives that attempt to center a specific minority group as the primary builder of the nation, this claim often relies on conflating individual participation with institutional influence.


1. The Distinction Between "Influence" and "Foundation"


  • The Fact of Participation: It is a historical fact that Jewish individuals were present in the American colonies from 1654 and participated in the American Revolution. Figures like Haym Salomon are often cited for their financial contributions to the Continental Congress, and Jewish patriots served in militias.

  • The Myth of Foundation: The assertion that these contributions constitute a "central foundation" is a fiction. The U.S. political and legal framework was primarily constructed by the Founders based on Enlightenment philosophy, English common law, and Western European political traditions. While the Founders were well-versed in the Hebrew Bible and used it for cultural and political symbolism (such as metaphors for liberation), this does not mean the nation's institutional structure was founded upon Judaism or that Jewish people held a foundational role in its creation.


2. Mechanics of the "Foundational" Fiction


This narrative is often constructed through several rhetorical techniques:


  • Symbolic Misinterpretation: Proponents often point to the Founders' frequent use of biblical imagery—like the exodus from Egypt—as evidence that the nation is founded on Jewish principles. Historians explain that this was a common rhetorical tool of the era, used to frame the struggle against Britain, rather than an application of Jewish law or institutional design.

  • Conflation of "Presence" with "Architect": Just as with other groups, there is a tendency to take the achievements of individual Jewish Americans—such as scientists, jurists, or financiers—and categorize their presence as "foundational." This misrepresents the role of minority citizens, whose contributions occurred within an established American system, not as the architects of that system.

  • Intellectual Projection: Claims that the "metaphysical, moral, and anthropological foundation" of America is Jewish are modern interpretive arguments, not objective historical records. They represent an effort to link American democratic ideals to a pre-existing religious tradition to gain a sense of historical "insider" status, rather than a factual description of the nation’s origin.


3. The Reverse Extremist Framing


It is important to recognize that the assertion of "foundational" influence is frequently exploited by extremists on both ends of the political spectrum to advance conflicting agendas:


  • Proponents of this narrative use it to argue for Jewish inclusion and legitimacy, positioning the community as essential to the nation's identity to combat antisemitism.

  • Opponents (Anti-Semites) utilize the exact same claim—that Jews are "central" to everything in America—to build conspiracy theories, alleging that Jewish people "orchestrate" or "control" the nation’s political, financial, and cultural systems.


Both sides are essentially using the same fictional premise: that a minority group exerts a hidden, disproportionate, or "foundational" control over the state. In historical reality, American development was a complex, multi-faceted process driven by a massive, diverse population and institutional frameworks that were distinctly Western and Enlightenment-focused, not the product of any single ethnic or religious group.


Remember:


A half truth is always a whole lie. It is one thing to be mistaken but another to intentionally distort facts and impose revisionist history. And for those who will claim this comment on extremist racist Jews as itself being Anti-Semitic, the condemn themselves because even those of Arabic countries and the languages that went into Islam's initial formation are Semitic also.
