Finders Keepers!

As I’m fighting off what seems to be an insistent toehold of the flu right now, blogging isn’t a priority, but I did read about an interesting claim earlier that seems worth addressing.

According to some Muslims (including that leading American front group CAIR), Islam has senior title to America.

Why, you ask? Because, claims CAIR, Muslims were here before Columbus:

Muslims discovered the Americas long before Columbus sailed the ocean blue in 1492, the head of a D.C.-based jihad-linked Islamic lobbying group told a Saudi TV station Dec. 27.

“There are historical accounts according to which the Muslims preceded Columbus, who is said to have discovered the U.S.,” claimed Nihad Awad, the co-founder of the Council on American Islamic Relations.

“Some documents and accounts indicate that Muslim seafarers were the first to reach the U.S., [so] the bottom line is that Islam played a part in the establishment and development of the U.S.,” Awad told the Saudi interviewer, in an interview in a New York studio.

CAIR did not respond to The Daily Caller’s request for an explanation of Awad’s comments, which were recorded by the Middle East Media Research Institute.

As to why CAIR wouldn’t respond, don’t look at me! As a Norwegian-American, I am shocked — SHOCKED I tell you! — over the insistence of these upstarts that they were here first, especially when we all know that the Scandinavians were first. Not only did they discover North America from a European perspective, but they actually set up the first colonies.

And, they were pagan!

Not only that, but the Norse colonies date back to the 900s — centuries before the Muslims were even alleged to have been in North America.

So, according to the “seniority” logic CAIR advances, it is not Islam which “played a part in the establishment and development of the U.S.,” but Vikings, who were practitioners of an older (and therefore senior) religion!

Take that, Islamist religious bigots!

    Does that let whitey off the hook for bringing small pox to the New World?

    Nonsense.

    We Irish were here long before the Vikings. You stole the map from us!

    So, Islam is responsible for the murder and eradication of swaths of aboriginal Americans?

    When do they cut the checks to the surviving members?
