President Barack Obama’s administration has been frequently criticized for its unwillingness to say the words, “radical Islam.”
Now, his administration is even scrubbing references to Islam from key evidence.
Federal investigators promised to provide more insight as to what was happening inside the Orlando Pulse nightclub after a gunman started a deadly assault that was the worst mass shooting in modern U.S. history.
The FBI was releasing today a printed, partial transcript of the conversations between gunman Omar Mateen and Orlando police negotiators, U.S. Attorney General Loretta Lynch said.
But first, the government will be taking all references to the Islamic State out of the transcripts.
“What we’re not going to do is further proclaim this man’s pledges of allegiance to terrorist groups, and further his propaganda,” Lynch told NBC’s Chuck Todd during a Sunday interview for “Meet the Press.”
“We’re not going to hear him talk about those things?” Todd responded.
“We will hear him talk about some of those things, but we are not going to hear him make his assertions of allegiance and that.”
Critics have decried the move as another example of politically correct censorship.
Mateen went on a bloody rampage at the club June 12 that left 49 people dead and 53 others seriously hurt. Mateen died in a hail of gunfire after police stormed the venue.
Lynch told ABC’s “This Week” that the top goal while intensifying pressure on the Islamic State — the extremist group thought to have inspired Mateen — is to build a complete profile of him in order to help prevent another massacre like Orlando.
“As you can see from this investigation, we are going back and learning everything we can about this killer, about his contacts, people who may have known him or seen him. And we’re trying to build that profile so that we can move forward,” Lynch said.
Lynch said she would be traveling to Orlando on Tuesday to meet with investigators.
Speaking to CBS’ “Face The Nation,” Lynch said that a key goal of the investigation was to determine why Mateen targeted the gay community. The victims were predominantly gay and Hispanic since it was “Latin night” at Pulse.
“We are hurting. We are exhausted, confused, and there is so much grief,” said Larry Watchorn, a ministerial intern, during a sermon Sunday at Joy Metropolitan Community Church in Orlando, whose congregants are predominantly gay.
Florida Gov. Rick Scott described the attack as “devastating” while praying at the First Baptist Church of Orlando on Sunday. He said the gunman targeted “two very vulnerable populations.”
“But here is the positive out of it … people have come together,” Scott said. “There are so many people who have done so many wonderful acts.”
Around Orlando, people left balloons, flowers, pictures and posters at a makeshift memorial in front of the city’s new performing arts center and at Orlando Regional Medical Center where 49 white crosses were emblazoned with red hearts and the names of the victims.
The crosses were built by a Chicago carpenter with a history of constructing crosses for victims of mass shootings. Greg Zanis drove from Illinois to Orlando last week and installed the crosses at the medical center, where many of the 53 shooting victims who survived were taken for treatment.
Investigators have said Mateen reportedly pledged allegiance to the Islamic State group, and a letter from the chairman of the Senate Homeland Security Committee, Republican Ron Johnson of Wisconsin, said Mateen wrote on Facebook that “real Muslims will never accept the filthy ways of the West.”

The news media and politically correct have turned this atrocity into a wave the “rainbow” flag and second amendment issue. If the politically correct were around in 1941 they would have described Pearl Harbor as a misuse of planes issue.
That is the truth. PC is for idiots one and all. 🙁
This was one of the first things the Nazzi,s did along with in arming the people and taking control of schools and health care and finances….look it up….The Rise of Hitler”. You will relate to all of this Government control…also religion must go also. My grandmother escaped from crackdown, Poland…near Auschwitz. Her mother put her on a boat knowing she,d never see her daughter again. Her family can still tell horror stories. But thank God America ended this evil power. Now it,s coming here. The problem is our president,s name is Barak Hussain Obama…how can he declare war on his own race and religion. People my age who remember history know. Government has stopped teaching history in school…for a reason.
Your comment is right on! Its too late to close the door when all the horses got out. Nobody will admit it we (America made a mistake taking in all those people without background checks) Speaking of background checks we Americans have to use them to buy guns. So why not use them on importing people coming to the US?
It is a Liberal thing the same as no proof of citizenship for voters.
The problem is there is NO BACKGROUND TO CHECK ON THESE RADICAL REFUGEES! This is why Trumps idea is a good one, set up safe areas for them in their Countries, we cannot vet them, period!
You are a very well informed lady. Too bad there aren’t millions more like you.
Of course American History is no longer important in the schools anymore, or the idiots that voted in the last 2 elections would have made better selection for president. He said he was going to change our great America: he warned you…..but you were so disinterested, and know-noth-ing-ism.”to be political correct)…you did it anyway.
Well after all obama was mentored by a Communist and I read that his family on his Mother side as well as his Mother were Communist, so why wouldn’t obama use Communist Nazi tactics in trying to stop the truth from coming out and from taking our 2nd Amendment Rights away from us. You know the Arabs were friends of Hitler so this does not surprise me, but, the thing is the Truth will always come out. Back then they weren’t able to get the News out like they do now. We have the Internet for a time until they try to take that away from us and everything comes out on there even if you can’t get the real News with the Local News Media. As you know obama is a Liar and he will do what ever he needs to do to get what he wants because after all he is of his father of Lies, so, what can you expect from a LIAR who is the son of a LIAR.
And then there is the Felon, Hillary, who plans to continue the “occupier of the White House” “Regime”
Now what do we do?………I know, but what about all those “sheep” in this Country who believe in her LIES????????
We, the American People, are in a heap of trouble!!!!
Sheep, follow anything, even if it is a lying, felon, who could not see the turth and what is right for this Country if it were in front of her nose.
She is pure evil as is “Barry” the exchange student who went to Columbia.
I think the term (pc) is used to hide the fact of aiding and abetting, the enemy. When I have to hear from the unethical news media that Orlando was Donald Trumps fault, and the action of ‘Change’, on the 911 call has been taken by this administration, those words come into my mind.
????????
My reply was a thumb up not ???????????
I don’t understand your comment, Linda, but I also see where my comment wasn’t quite clear. I meant that the two words,’ aiding and abetting,’ came into mind, as being the actions of the people responsible for altering, the 911 script.
Here is a quote from the AG using the word, ‘gonna,’ in place of “Going To.”. I wasn’t aware that ‘gonna,’ is proper English.
“[Mateen] does not represent the religion of Islam, but a perverted view,” Hopper said, later adding: “Part of the redacting is meant to not give credence to individuals who have done terrorist attacks in the past. We’re not gonna propagate their violent rhetoric.”
This administration is all related to this criminal organization with no remorse they commit any crime that will promote thier agenda at all cost this is all smoke and mirrors false flags all the way
this is OUR leader..HAHAHA..what a joke. He will kiss the ISIS ass and kick us under the bus. He is a disgrace to our country. He will NOT admit to Islamic Terrorist, and Killary is just as bad. THey are both lying traitors to me. I am so sad that for our first so called black president that it took our country all these years to except turns out to be the one that destroy us. What a legacy that is. And its a shame because i wish that Carson would of been running and he would of been a true american for the country.
He can erase the islam BS from the 911 calls but we ALL ALREADY KNOW WHAT WAS THERE. but the coward is so afraid of ticking off ISIS that he will betray us. Something has to give somewhere. I AM NOT losing my own country to a traitor and a lying bitch that left our men to be tortured and slaughtered. AND that is exactly what KILLARY will do follow in Obammys shoes because they have both done such hideous things to us that if one loses they both do..
He is once again changing HISTORY as they have done for decades now in order to brainwash the younger generation.
That is what this is all about can not let it go down in history what this religion is truly all about.
You say that ” you” will not lose our country to this treachery so I wonder if ” you” will step up and do the necessary deed and end this nightmare for us all, here and now
Why not the CIA redacted his info and that of San Bernardino’s shooters including both Mosques and their connection and network. He worked for the CIA Google Haney I think Philip author See Something Say Nothing; he worked for Homeland Security from inception he connected the dots! There’s a good video of him speaking to a group explaining Islamic terms and what they mean. The giv. Named him a whistle blower we call him a Patriot/brother????????
Sorry the thumb up icon chgs to a question mark!
Correct…. PC is what you use when you don’t have enough brains to think for yourself.
PC is a very bad thing but Obama uses it all the time to protect Islam from the blame it deserves. When crime is a religion it is no longer a crime – so says the Obama mis-administration.
Well, of course, they will do the editing – just like Hillary decided which of her e-mails were “personal”. It all comes down to getting the country we deserve and deserving what we encourage. This will not end unless we get a president and a congress who are more concerned with protecting the American people than being politically correct. God save this country and the little ones, of which my granddaughter who is now 9 days old is one.
Again Political Correctness at it’s worst – Lynch is nothing more than a puppet for Obama.
These people are killing our country.
And both are puppets of the Rothschild globalists.https://youtu.be/9sWrqwi4DTA
HEY GEORGE I CKD OUT THE WEB SITE VERY INTERESTING, A TOTAL DIFFERENT THEORY, BUT THE PIECES OF THE PUZZLE FIT PERFECT, ITS JUST THE 49 FOLKS THAT WERE MURDERED HAD TO BE UNWILLING PAWNS IN THIS SAGA, BUT SINCE WHEN HAS THE GOVMT EVER WORRIED ABOUT THIS, AND NO MATTER HOW MANY LAWS THEY PASS, THE GUNS ARE HERE TO STAY. FRANCE IS A GOOD EXAMPLE. GUNS ARE STOLEN EVERY DAY. IF THEY ARE OUTLAWED THE OWNER JUST WONT REPORT THE THEFT! ENGLAND GUNS OUTLAWED IF YOU WANT A GUN YOU CAN GET ONE. NOW A BLACK MARKET WILL OPEN AND THERE WILL BE PLENTI OF CHEAP FULL AUTOMATIC WEAPONS. THE RUSSIANS WILL SPEED UP PRODUCTION, AN SUPPLY THE WORLD. THATS A FACT!
Guess who wins and who looses.??
The scrapping of the 2nd Amendment!
1) The winners are Islam
2) The losers are the American people.
Appointed for such a time as this in case the treasonous acts hit the fan!
The liberal/progressives have successfully used “political correctness” as THE tool for a very effective propaganda campaign against social conservatism. It has worked wonders for them as is evidenced by the casual acceptance by some of the (liberal) republicans and independents. In hardcore advertising campaigns you aim at the consumer’s most vulnerable human trait – in the case of “pc,” the person’s “sense of fairness.” The idea is to get him to feel guilty and avoid being called a bigot (how many times has the liberal media called a social conservative a “bigot”?). No one wants to have a negative label attached to his brand so, those without strong convictions fall in line. How many conservatives, independents do you know that have come to accept the liberal view that: it is “unfair” not to offer free contraceptives to women? If you believe it is unfair, then, according to the rule of “political correctness,” you are a bigot! We get rid of “pc,” we get our country back.
Sickening …. We have a right to know!
History is written by those in power… those who are corrupted and may have an agenda….NOT by those living it.
Just this crooked administration trying to cover their screw ups. Nothing new. If it’s not in the transcripts it might not have had anything to do with radical islam. How’s that hope and change work’n for ya now. Oh and all this from the most transparent administration. Next year can’t come soon enough.
Are we going to change the description of Obama to being white with a bad sunburn being he is half and half?
The hell you are. If anything try himm as a traitor.
Lets change it to bi-racial, bi-sexual, and a Marxist!!!!
You covered it all…..Rebecca….brilliant!
Folks the problem is simple, the USA needs to get rid of the Muslims that are practicing Islamic extremism. These people are heathens, not Christians and need to be deported back to the countries they came from. All of the mosques in the USA need to be closed and the Muslims training grounds for ISIS need to be closed. They are multiplying and destroying America just like they have already done in Europe, Germany, Brussels, France and England.
I guess it is time for the general public to react to save their lives.
Only thing they are practicing pure Islam directed by Mohammed and those not are lying, or a quiet jihad giving support in other ways like $$, children, infiltration etc.. They are to follow Mohammed specifically and no other interpretation like inner struggle. That’s just plain a lie, or making them also infidels!!
Amen to that…
THIS is clear evidence that Obama’s Administration is BROWN-WASHING for its own agenda of bringing in more and more Muslims and giving them elite or at least ‘special privileges within the U.S.
The TRUTH should be the TRUTH and to edit of alter ANY true record and referring to that altered version of events as official truth is absurd, should be very disturbing to all Americans and furthermore every human being on this planet! These are tactics of a ‘Dystopian Society’ ruled by an “Orwellian State”. WHAT more must we witness of our so called would be leaders and the spineless elite of congress that won’t even mention the word, “impeachment”, let alone initiate such proceedings against Obama AND his entire corrupt Administration?!? I fear that its going to get much worse than we have already seen… MUCH worse! Obama intends to play Luke Skywalker, but instead of destroying the Death Star from within its the USA and Americans that he intends to destroy from within! Obama IS a Muslim… What more will it take for everyone to wake up and smell it??!!!??
Not only a Muslim, “who will NEVER be at war with Islam”, but a Manchurian Candidate bought and paid for!
I suppose if the government wants to lie to us, we can lie to them…
But we are the peons – just try it and see how far you get. Them that own the marble, make the rules – and they are sure not for We the People.
Impeach Obama, indict him and his entire corrupt administration. Purge the U.S. of Islam and of all that are Muslim. Ship ’em all out back to Islamaland. Islam is NOT a race, It is NOT a religion, It IS an aggressive, violent and anti-human movement centered around destroying all human life even themselves. Wake Up!!!
Agreed
Years ago I heard someone say that the best way to destroy America was from within. President Obama has made that saying come true. Hillary may well continue the destruction of the once Good Old USA..
Obviously a false flag.https://youtu.be/9sWrqwi4DTA
Oh yes…..”the most transparent administration ever” NOT
“1984” is truth!
“Ministry of Truth” in action!
Wonder if George Orwell knew that his book was prophetic?
To Obama and Loretta Lynch: “DO YOU SWEAR TO TELL THE WHOLE TRUTH AND NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH, SO HELP YOU GOD?
IT DOESN’T TAKE A ROCKET SCIENTIST TO FIGURE OUT WHY OMAR MATEEN WENT ON A BLOODY RAMPAGE, THAT “KILLED” 49 PEOPLE AND “WOUNDING” 53 AT THE PULSE NIGHT CLUB ON JUNE 12, 2016. IT IS CALLED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
“REVENGE”……”REVENGE”…..”REVENGE”…..”REVENGE”…..”REVENGE”…..”REVENGE!”
FOR “KILLING” AND WOUNDING” INNOCENT” WOMEN AND CHILDREN” IN THE MIDDLE EAST AND NORTH AFRICA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THAT IS WHAT BARACK “OBOMBARDIER” OBAMA AND LORETTA “PUPPET ON A STRING” LYNCH DOESN’T WANT THE AMERICAN PEOPLE TO KNOW ABOUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Like I said that bitch Lynch should be lynched.
The transcripts should be released unedited. Ms. Lynch likely knows that whatever gets released will eventually be seen as the authoritative account of the event. In years to come people will look at the edited release and have no idea that this killer’s allegiance to Islam had anything to do with the attack. Give liberals enough time and this guy will likely be branded as a anti-gay bigot who is a conservative, TEA Party Christian.
Once again the Obama administration gives us a reason not to trust their ability to do anything in a fair manner.
In other wards free speech is not free anymore.You people must be turning left too.
Now the Federal Government wants to tell us only the words they want to tell us. Who polices the Federal Government against their illegal actions to the people of the United States? Where is the truth in the government , they do not have right to change or alter facts to the people of America , Any effort to due that is Socialistic government and not allowed in America. Will some one step forward to stop the government and OBAMA from ruling our country as a dictatorship or Monarchy. Is the only action we as people have is to revolt against the oppressors of free America. Someone please explain this to me.
CIVIL WAR IN THIS NATION IS COMING VERY SOON….AND THIS WILL BE FOUGHT WITH GUNS AND AMMO…NOT WORDS….
IF THEY PUT A BOUNTY ON SLIMEBALL POLITICANS, YOU MAY BE ABLE TO HURRY THIS ALONG.
FOR A FEW DOLLARS MORE.
You’re absolutely correct. And I believe Mr. Trump is trying and planning to do just that. And look at all the trouble he’s experiencing. Our problem is NOT only from Obummer and his political cronies, but also from our own people. The ones who Don’t have enough sense to read, study, and do their proper homework; and ‘then’ select a candidate worthy of the title Commander in Chief. He’s standing ‘right in front of us’ and they still don’t see it!!! God help us…..
So now who do we trust ? The Feds are next in line for criminal activity. I’m sick and tired of Obullshit and his administration lying and deceiving the people of this country !! I’m 58 years old and never had to deal with terrorism, cons , lies and scams. This country is going to hell in a hand basket and I for one is really tired of it ! What’s it going to take, A civil war ? Hanging about a dozen treasonous criminals? Congress is voting on several gun bills today , an act that never should happen as it walks on our second amendment. Which was designed to protect us from a criminal government. We have the right and actually, required to defend “we the people ” and our country !! Obullshit needs to go NOW !! He IS the reason we have all these problems and is quilty of creating all these mass shootings to help with his anti gun movement !! Y’all including the Feds know this but no one wants to do anything about stopping it. There’s not a single one of you that doesn’t KNOW about Obullshit’s involvement with ISIS and all these mass shootings. He IS ISIS and defends them more than he does America and y’all not only see this, you know this as much as I do .
Just what we need. Everybody blaming Islam and creating more terrorists.
This administration is so far to the left, that’s is a damm shame, and again, it ALL goes back to the news media , the lying shameless Commie New York Times, and that Washington “fish wrapper”. Thee reason why I’m saying that is they KNEW just who this person was from the VERY start, and when people started to point him (Obama) out, they did what all good Commie’s do nothing, but blast more lies. We the people knew who he was, but there is/was a certain faction who love free stuff, and wanted to see a “brother” in the seat of control…..well, my question to those of you, who wanted all that free stuff, did ya get it?, was it what ya wanted, and more importantly did ya get that job, and did ya get that big $15.00 per hour increase?……sure you did……yea in a Fat Pigs behind…..Ya, and I’m glad for ya.
So, as “your boy” smiles and kicks you in the behind, and continues to tell that lie…….of things are going GREAT, what else does he do……well he is allowing the REAL bad people to get stronger and stronger each and every day, and oh, yea, when they start shooting again, as they did last week, they don’t really care if your black or white, they only care that your an American, so as your world starts to fall down around you, don’t blame me OK!, look North and East or South and East.
TRUTH is missing in lots of History books; i always felt is WRONG.
Great honor is given to dead presidents!! When if truth would be said REALITY would help all to discern BETTER WAYS OF LIVING , lessons!! It is WRONG to present a whole show of doctored lies.
Is my humble opinion.
WE CAN LEARN FROM TRUTH, we are deceived by LIARS! How can a JUDGE GIVE A CORRECT JUDGEMENT WHEN TRUTH IS HIDDEN!!!?
Mrs CLINTON WAS SAYING A TRANSFORMED STORY TO THE PARENTS AND RELATIVES MURDERED IN BENGHAZI
LOOK AT HER!!! Still running to become our
PRESIDENT!!!!! Collecting $$$ MILLIONS AND MILLIONS!!!$$$ to create a MONUMENTAL CAMPAIGN!!!! Please!!!!!
Say. Strictly. THE TRUTH. ALL THE TIME!!!!
Altering the truthful F A C T S. IS CORRUPTION!!!!! Derailing our lives into
A huge lie. Is ABUSING US AND FUTURE
GENERATIONS!!!
Give us THE WHOLE TRUTH!! We can use our brains and judge, and deceide what we do
Agree and like or. Don t agree and dislike!!
AREN T. WE. IN OUR. FREE. COUNTRY?!
United States of America!!!!!!
And Florida law enforcement joins the terrorist Federal Government
What would have happen if FDR would have had PC back in 1941 and have banned all use of the word Japanese in taking about who bombed Pearl Harbor and just called it a hate crime. If Obama was President then we would be speaking Japanese or German.
It is not a “Fundamentally Transformation of America” it is a destruction of America that Obama is doing.
Amen……I can’t understand why this younger generation fell for it….I blame their parents. It all started with the “hippie” generation, and progressively got worse.
INSANITY AT ITS WORST….
THE “DC DICTATOR”….THE ILLEGAL SQUATTER IN THE WHITE HOUSE IS DOING EVERYTHING HE CAN TO “COMPLETELY” DESTROY THIS NATION…
ITS TIME FOR BUBBA TO RISE AND SHOVE THIS PC BULLSHIT RIGHT UP THERE ASS. SEMPER FI

It is our COUNTRY, our FAMILY! Our FUTURE!!!
And FACT IS. OIL AND VINEGAR WILL NEVER CHANGE THEIR PROPERTIES!!!
Many call themselves Christians, but never read the Bible, do not attend church etc
So… That really is a person with sympathy but a real christian who lives guided and surrendered to God!
The same to any religion!
Part of being a Christian. Must be to learn a bout other religions to identify if they are in line with the Word of God, many are deceiving!!
Catholics should read
the life of LUCRECIA BORGIA.))
And learning Islam… Bringing. Or having them here, in our country, will be always the risk of eruptions .. Blood baths
Of course there are the Wishy Washy members! But there will bring the passionated unbalanced who are not supposed to allow
Free will in others!! To others!!

For Obama, this would preferably be called ‘WORKPLACE VIOLENCE’.
We all know that Muslim Extremeist ‘DON’T BE LIKE DAT’.
SHAME ON YOU OBAMA AND LYNCH FOR THE LIES AND THE COVERUPS YOU’RE CONCEALING FROM THE AMERICAN PUBLIC CONCERNING THE ORLANDO TRAGEDY.
THE SLAUGHTER OF ALL THOSE SOULS WAS DONE BY A RADICAL MUSLIM TERRORIST WHO HAD A HATRED FOR HOMOSEXUALS BUT YET HE WAS OF THE SAME PERSUASION. GO FIGURE. I CANNOT THINK OF ONE DECENT DECISION OBAMA HAS EVER MADE FOR THE GOOD OF THIS COUNTRY. YOU CAN PUT A TUXEDO ON A PIG BUT IT’S STILL A PIG. I REST MY CASE.
JOANNE ITS A LOT EASIER TO INVITE THE PIG TO DINNER. GOOD ONE!
Leave it to the socialists. Japan rewrote WWII history to take out their atrocities and sex comfort girls. Obama sealed his personal records. Now this? Is Hillary going to come out in support of this type of activity? If so, please explain why you approve? Is it because it is part of the “progressive” platform? Will your VP candidate have to buy into this effort as well? Has panic engulfed the WH and deim party?
Got this email the other night… Pretty good read.
A GREAT HISTORY LESSON MOST OF US WERE NEVER TAUGHT IN SCHOOL!!!!!
As you will learn, this is one of the many reasons why History is no longer taught in our public schools.
When Thomas Jefferson saw there was no negotiating with Muslims, he formed what is now the Marines (sea going soldiers). These Marines were attached to U. S. Merchant vessels. When the Muslims attacked U.S.
merchant vessels they were repulsed by armed soldiers,
but there is more.
The Marines followed the Muslims back to their villages and killed every man, woman, and child in the village.
It didn’t take long for the Muslims to leave U.S. Merchant
vessels alone.
English and French merchant vessels started running up our flag when entering the Mediterranean to secure safe
travel.
Why the Marine Hymn contains the verse, “To the Shores of Tripoli”
This is very interesting and a must read piece of our
history. It points out where we may be heading.
Most Americans are unaware of the fact that over two hundred years ago the United States had declared war on Islam, and Thomas Jefferson led the charge!
At the height of the 18th century, Muslim pirates (the “Barbary Pirates”) were the terror of the Mediterranean and a large area of the North Atlantic.
They attacked every ship in sight, and held the crews for
exorbitant ransoms. Those taken hostage were subjected to barbaric treatment and wrote heart-breaking letters home, begging their governments and families to pay whatever their Mohammedan captors demanded.
These extortionists of the high seas represented the North African Islamic nations of Tripoli, Tunis, Morocco,
and Algiers – collectively referred to as the Barbary Coast – and presented a dangerous and unprovoked threat to the new American Republic
.
Before the Revolutionary War , U.S. merchant ships had been under the protection of Great Britain . When the U.S. declared its independence and entered into war, the ships of the United States were protected by France.
However, once the war was won, America had to protect its own fleets.
Thus, the birth of the U.S. Navy. Beginning in 1784, 17
years before he would become president, Thomas Jefferson became America ‘s Minister to France . That same year, the U.S. Congress sought to appease its Muslim adversaries by following in the footsteps of European nations who paid bribes to the Barbary States rather than engaging them in war.
In July of 1785, Algerian pirates captured American ships, and the Dye of Algiers demanded an unheard-of ransom of $60,000. It was a plain and simple case of extortion, and Thomas Jefferson was vehemently
o pposed to any further payments.
Instead, he proposed to Congress the formation of a coalition of allied nations who together could force the Islamic states into peace. A disinterested Congress decided to pay the ransom.
In 1786, Thomas Jefferson and John Adams met with Tripoli ‘s ambassador to Great Britain to ask by what right his nation attacked American ships and enslaved American citizens, and why Muslims held so much
hostility towards America, a nation with which they had
no previous contacts.
The two future presidents reported that Ambassador Sidi Haji Abdul Rahman Adja had answered that Islam “was
founded on the Laws of their Prophet, that it was written in their Quran that all nations who would not acknowledge their authority were sinners, that it was
their right and duty to make war upon them wherever they could be found, and to make slaves of all they could take as prisoners, and that every Musselman (Muslim) who
should be slain in battle was sure to go to Paradise.”
Despite this stunning admission of premeditated violence on non-Muslim nations, as well as the objections of many
notable American leaders, including George Washington, who warned that caving in was both wrong and would only further embolden the enemy, for the following fifteen
years the American government paid the Muslims millions
of dollars for the safe p assage of American ships or the return of American hostages.
The payments in ransom and tribute amounted to over 20 percent of the United States government annual revenues in 1800. Jefferson was disgusted.
Shortly after his being sworn in as the third President of the United States in 1801, the Pasha of Tripoli sent him a note demanding the immediate payment of $225,000
plus $25,000 a year for every year forthcoming. That changed everything.
Jefferson let the Pasha know, in no uncertain terms, what he could do with his demand. The Pasha responded by cutting down the flagpole at the American consulate and declared war on the United States. Tunis, Morocco , and Algiers immediately followed suit.
Jefferson, until now, had been against America raising a naval force for anything beyond coastal defense, but, having watched his nation be cowed by Islamic thuggery for long enough, decided that it was finally t ime to meet force with force.
He dispatched a squadron of frigates to the Mediterranean and taught the Muslim nations of the Barbary Coast a lesson he hoped they would never forget. Congress authorized Jefferson to empower U.S. ships to independent United States had both the will and the right to strike back, they quickly abandoned their allegiance to Tripoli.
The war with Tripoli lasted for four more years, and raged up again in 1815. The bravery of the U.S. M arine Corps in these wars led to the line “to the shores of Tripoli” in the Marine Hymn, and they would forever be known as “leathernecks” for the leather collars of their uniforms, designed to prevent their heads from being cut off by the Muslim scimitars when boarding enemy ships.
Islam, and what its Barbary followers justified doing in the name of their prophet and their god, disturbed Jefferson
quite deeply.
America had a tradition of religious tolerance. In fact Jefferson, himself, had co-authored the Virginia Statute for Religious Freedom, but fundamentalist Islam was like no other religion the world had ever seen.
A religion based on supremacy, whose holy book not only condoned but mandated violence against unbelievers, was unacceptable to him.
His greatest fear was that someday this brand of Islam would return and pose an even greater threat to the United States.
This should concern every American. That Muslims have
brought about women-only classes and swimming times at taxpayer- funded universities and public pools; that Christians, Jews, and Hindus have been banned from serving on juries where Muslim defendants are being judged; Piggy banks and Porky Pig tissue dispensers have been banned from workplaces because they offend Islamist sensibilities; ice cream has been discontinued at certain Burger King locations because the picture on the wrapper looks similar to the Arabic script for Allah; public schools are pulling pork from
their menus; on and on and on and on..
It’s death by a thousand cuts, or inch-by-inch as some refer to it, and most Americans have no idea that this battle is being waged every day across America. By not fighting back, by allowing groups to obfuscate what is really happening, and not insisting that the Islamists
adapt to our culture, the United States is cutting its
own throat with a politically correct knife, and helping to further the Islamists’ agenda.
Sadly, it appears that today America ‘s leaders would rather be politically correct than victorious!
If you have any doubts about the above information, Google “Thomas Jefferson vs. the Muslim World.”
Thanks Karen …….. Truly!!!!
Thank you!!! I hope You post this some place else, also11 I agree, but never learned this in History class!!
Why not???????????
Truth is truth.
Get rid of the Muslims in the “White House”
Well in case you haven’t caught on yet we have a President and Attorney General both of whom are Muslim Terrorists themselves. Additonally, I doubt anyone believes it when Loretta Lynch said the other day that she has never spoken to our Muslim Terrorist President Obama about Hillary Clinton’s emails. That is in keeping with the teaching of Islam that it is OK to lie to the infidels (most of the rest of us) to get what you want. It is really beyond belief that these two individuals took an oath of office only to totally disregard it. They both need to be replaced before January as they certainly do not represent the majority of American Citizens in this Country. They are better representatives of Illegals, Muslim Refugees and Muslim Terrorists. Also, the silence is deafening regarding anyone in the Administration speaking out about the protesters beating Trump supporters. I think you can figure out why that is? Oh by the way if you want to be able to protect yourself and have not already bought a firearm to do so, it would be a good idea to get one or more and plenty of ammo in particular to defend yourself against our own Government, criminals and terrorists as a second priority.
Absolutely Correct!! Impeach BHO otherwise known as “Barry” the exchange student!!
We can REPEAL everything He has tried to do. Obamacare for one.
Hillary Cannot be elected for She will continue “His” failed policies and continue to ruin the Great Nation we grew up in, otherwise known as The United States of America!!! “We the People” are the Majority!!! Minorities (less than 5% or the population) to not have a Larger, VOICE, than we do.

Right.
& for Natl security, that’s bogus.
President Barrack Obama, Loretta Lynch, and the Media are your enemy and mine they are out to destroy America by quoting Obama a man with a Muslim name and love for other Muslims, yesterday he after just a few days after his friends all Radical Muslims mass murdered numerous American in Orlando he praised these killers by stating Muslims are a people of love and peace just as their religion “Muslim or Islamic religion are a wonder people, their prayers are so beautiful like our prayers, they are like looking at a beautiful “SUNSET” He said I love them they are my people, they come in peace, they KILL in peace as they are only following the Koran and must like you and I kill all who do not believe in Mohammad our GOD. Now that takes him where his heart and head has been all his life, read his book about his father, listen to his words, he has followed his hate filled religion now to the end of his term of a Country founded on freedom and most have followed him, and now cannot wait until another who has killed Americans Hilary Clinton killed those brave Americans in Benghazi including our Ambassador, because she could care less, as she is being funded in her campaign for President hundreds of Millions of dollars rolled without even trying to hide it from radical Muslim counties like Libya, Afghanistan, Saudi’s, and many others, while preaching to the women of America that she is all about women’s rights, that is an out and out lie, she is running her campaign on money from all these countries that treat women like cattle, beat, rape, kill, maim them all under their religion and values. American’s watch her lie about how she is for women’s rights (abortion) Killing babies girl or boy, she cannot say the word “Radical Muslim or Islam” because she is running her campaign or their money. How stupid she sees our American Women and they become radical about her agenda, it is the same as the Muslims she and Obama both serve, not Women, she must keep them listing to her words (lies) as she always does it is in her nature, no Muslim can be criticized for hating Christians and you and others who are Infidels and they are bound by their religion or as Obama states a beautiful Religion more glory in their prayers then the most “beautiful sunset” one has ever seen. Hours after the murder of American in Orlando Obama put getting these young Muslim men on the fast tract to America, while not one new or media says a damn thing about either his Muslim admission about how beautiful this religion is. How can you sit and listen to this BS coming from this terrible person sitting in the WH admiring his people “Muslim” as his name and actions prove more powerful as each day goes by. Its close but not too late you can still donate to SRRC 4400 W. Broadway Ct. B.A. OK. 74012 This us MY LAST MESSAGE VIA HORN NEWS it has become obvious the majority of Horn readers are not Patriots and care less for American then you think, WAKE UP AMERICAN before it is too late. We are not going to stop exposing this Muslim President and many others as continue to target them and are daily exposing them to the Media just now we are seeing the FOX and others beginning to realize what we are saying about our so called leaders and those we have exposed as they are now putting them on their Media outlets with the data they are and have been receiving. God bless and goodbye and good night to all, as we put our money, time an effort where it does the most to continue to expose our enemies we have grown so large we are now going to be able to continue to confront and expose those political beliefs are not yours or Americans belief where this once great country has fallen.
Every vote for Hillary is a vote for pro Islam and continued Terrorist Attacks on our soil!!!!
Every non vote, or to not vote for “Trump” is a vote for Hillary and the continued “agenda” of “Barry Obama, the exchange student and Muslim!!!
What did everyone who voted for an America Hating “president” think he would do? Turn against islam? When practically his first act was to bow to the King of Saudi Arabia?
Excellent point of course all but a few know that Obama is a Muslim, he has the namesake, his father was one, his mother, his brothers and all family are Muslim, he is a Muslim, he was not born in American as his birth certificate proved the type document that is carefully guarded is not even close to the certificates that were available and used for many years before and after his birth, he was known as Barry in Hawaii, where he claims he was born, many there knew him as a drug selling teenager, a phony who made up ridicules stories, was as one spoke such a liar. After the murders of Americans in Orlando he went public and like Clinton uses political correctness to cover his faith. He said no religion suggests killing others, all of us who read the Koran knows that is a lie, as they must kill infidels (Americans) if they want during this month. Obama said the Muslim prayer is like a beautiful sunset compared to any other. What does it take to wake up the majority of Americans that are just plain stupid no to see Barrack Obama as the clearly present admission of his own that he is a Muslim no one else but a Muslim would do everything in their power to help destroy infidels, make excuses for them, certainly some are not true to their faith but you can plain as the nose on your face see that Obama is not only a Jew hater like most radical Muslims, which would by any measure of correctness be evidence of his sincere love for his Muslim bothers. Clinton campaign is running on Muslim money, folks if not Trump its all over, as the women of America refuse to recognize Clinton is a liar using money to run for President who get millions of dollars to run from those who abuse women, where they can’t go out by themselves, are beaten, raped, killed, and are not considered as a person of respect, but disrespect. Wake up ladies she is not who she says she is, save yourself, do not even consider Clinton because she is of your sex, she is a fake who uses blacks, the poor, the misguided, those who cannot find a job because she wants them as her slaves. Her husband will “run the financial, and foreign policy as that is what he knows that she does not” Hope he can keep his zipper up long enough to worry about such mundane issues. My God what has happen to American to believe all the Horse Manure they both are full of. You want jobs and economy back in America and no more HS then do not even consider other eight years of Obama but worse for all human rights.
