Get ready, folks, for Emir George Washington, Imam Thomas Jefferson, and to learn that Benjamin Franklin was a descendant of Muhammad. Coming soon to a leftist history class near you.
The Left, the Democrats, want to change America. Our Founding Fathers (tried to) create a virtuous, limited government, capitalist, republic. The Democrats don’t believe in any of those things. They believe in promiscuity and licentiousness, Marxism, and totalitarian government. To do that, as Marx said, “Keep people from their history and they are easily controlled.” Change the country’s history, revise it, deconstruct it, make the early Americans evil, slave-holding, secular humanists, and it becomes obvious we need a different America from the one they established.
The next step, apparently and probably, will be the Islamization of American history.
Here is a headline recently from Breitbart: “With Mamdani on Rise, Left Begins Rewriting American History to Elevate Muslims.” I have a Bachelor’s and Master’s degree in American history, over 100 hours of graduated work in the subject, and I have written hundreds of articles on the subject. I cannot name one prominent Muslim in American history. That doesn’t mean that there have been no Muslims who have made some contribution to early and middle American history; but none of them became famous enough to make it into your American history textbook. They played no major part in the founding or leadership of building the United States into a great world power.

But now they will be coming for your children.
Zohran Mamdani is a strange duck. He is a Muslim, but he is also a Marxist. There can be no two more self-contradictory themes than those. Muslims are, first, to be devoted to their god, Allah, so much so that literally untold numbers of them have committed suicide in his name. Karl Marx was an atheist. Who is Mamdani’s first loyalty to?
Well, his first loyalty is to himself, because, like every other Democrat (and most politicians), power is the name of the game. And it does appear that Mamdani is going to be the next mayor of New York. It will be very interesting to see the influence he has over that city and how it affects the rest of the country.
Democrats don’t like Islam any more than they like Judaism or Christianity. Most of them, at best, are agnostic, many are atheists, and thus changing early American’s Christian history—or making it look as horrible as possible—is a must for them. Hence their constant attacks on early Americans, our Founders, and Christianity.
Our Founders did not create a theocracy, of course; they gave everyone the right to believe in any religion they wanted to, or none. What our Founders did believe was that a limited government republic could not exist as a civilized entity without a virtuous people, and, to a man, they believed that religion, especially the Judeo-Christian heritage, was the source of human virtue. “Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the governing of any other,” John Adams said. But rather than give you more (endless) such quotes from our Founders, I want to give the reader a couple of quotes from Alexis de Tocqueville.
Most of you have heard of de Tocqueville. He was the French philosopher who came to America in the 1830s to discover why the American republic was succeeding so well, where both the British and French had miserably failed in their attempts at republicanism. So, we have here the words, not of an American, but of a foreigner looking outside in.
De Tocqueville’s first quote: “Not until I went into the churches of America and heard her pulpits flame with righteousness did I understand the secret of her genius and power. America is great because America is good, and if America ever ceases to be good, America will cease to be great.”
America “flamed” with righteous teaching, with virtue, and that is what made the country great. Destroy virtue and you destroy goodness and you destroy the country.
De Tocqueville’s second quote: “Religion in America takes no direct part in the governing of society, but it must be regarded as the first of their political institutions; for it does not only impart a taste for freedom, it facilitates the use of it....I do not know whether all Americans have a sincere faith in their religion…but I am certain that they hold it to be indispensable to the maintenance of republican institutions. This opinion is not peculiar to a class of citizens or to a party, but belongs to the whole nation and to every rank of society.”
The whole nation held this view, that virtue (as produced by the Christian religion) is “indispensable to the maintenance of republican institutions.” Democracy, republicanism is self-government; so is virtue and righteousness. Without virtue, there can be only totalitarian government. That is exactly why the Democrats hate, and are trying to destroy, Christianity in America. The attempt to “elevate Muslims” in American history will simply be the next step in the Left’s road to deflate Judaism and Christianity from influence in the country.
Interestingly, deTocqueville also had something to say about Islam: “I studied the Quran a great deal. I came away from that study with the conviction that by and large there have been few religions in the world as deadly to men as that of Muhammad. As far as I can see, it is the principal cause of the decadence so visible today in the Muslim world and, though less absurd than the polytheism of old, its social and political tendencies are in my opinion more to be feared, and I therefore regard it as a form of decadence rather than a form of progress in relation to paganism itself.”
You can take that for whatever you think it’s worth.
