I just heard a radio ad that called the Barbary Pirates the Islamic Barbary Pirates.

Didn't used to be important.

The Barbary War was ended by the Treaty of Tripoli. Article 11 of that treaty states the following.

Quote:
As the Government of the United States of America is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion - as it has in itself no character of enmity against the laws, religion, or tranquility, of Mussulmen, - and as the said States never entered into any war or act of hostility against any Mahometan nation, it is declared by the parties that no pretext arising from religious opinions shall ever produce an interruption of the harmony existing between the two countries.

The Treaty of Tripoli was signed in 1796 and the Barbary Wars began in 1801.

ESPN 103.3 during Mavs postgame. The ad was for an upcoming job fair for veterans. Your buddy () Glenn Beck was the ad's voice.

The Jesus weasel wingnuts are itching for an all out final crusade and keep on pushing this agenda any way they can.
