This is a history of Islam and the United States. In 2006, Keith Ellison was the first Muslim elected to the U.S. Congress. He swore in on a Qur'an. Most Americans know little about the Qur'an, who wrote it and how it spread. Mohammed had 15 wives and fought in scores of battles and raids, even cutting off the heads of 700 Jewish men. In 100 years of Mohammed's death, his followers subjugated North Africa, the Holy Land, Persia, Spain, the Indian Ocean to the Atlantic Ocean. Read how Sultans conquered the 1000 year-old Byzantine city of Constantinople; How Jefferson sent Marines to capture the Muslim Barbary Pirate port of Tripoli; Woodrow Wilson tried to save millions of Armenian Christians killed in Turkey. Is Islam just another religion? Find out in this book.
