Erdoğan Says Muslims Discovered America, not Christopher Columbus (Video)

Loading

Gateway Pundit:

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan told a group of Muslim leaders from Latin America that Muslims discovered America hundreds of years before Christopher Columbus.
And they built a mosque in Cuba.

Yeah, that really happened.
The Telegraph reported, via Religion of Peace:

Muslims discovered the Americas in the 12 century, nearly 300 years before Christopher Columbus made his famous voyage there, according to Recep Tayyip Erdogan, the president of Turkey.

His words, delivered in a televised speech, will lend support to a controversial theory that has been debunked repeatedly by historians.

That did not seem to bother the conservative Turkish president during a summit in Istanbul of Muslim leaders from Latin America.

Years ago, another Turk, not a professor or even an educator or writer, somehow produced an incredibly slick, expensively color-printed over-sized ”history” book that ”proved” Muslims came to both North and South America centuries before anyone else, even the Indians.
This book claimed early European explorers met Indian chiefs who had Islamic/Arabic names.
The book claimed many places in the West were named after Arabic people, places and things.
One that stands out was ‘California,” which this Turk claimed as from the Arabic term, ”caliph.”
The bottom line of the idea is what Osama bin Ladin referred to when he incited jihad in the name of REclaiming Spain (Al-Andalus) for Islam.
Nothing that Islam loses is meant to be permanent.
It all permanently belongs to Islam once it was theirs even for a day.
So, too, according to the Turk, is all of North and South America.
Now Erdogan is touting this debunked set of lies.
Gee, join the crowd of lies Muslims believe.
Let’s see…..
*Jews mix human blood in their Matzos for Passover.
*The ”Protocols of the Elders of Zion,” is real, not a forgery.
*The Holocaust never happened.
*Jesus was just another prophet, no son of God.

I don’t care who was here first. Over millions of years, different parts of the Earth have gone from desert to oceans, and from oceans to desert. People had to move during those slow changes. Many different people could have come to what we now call America, and had to leave, or died from events. Tectonic plates have moved. Who knows where humans had been back then. I like to learn about things like that, but it doesn’t matter to me who was the LAST first people to discover America.

Muslims live on lies, oppression, and murder.

Muslims live on lies, oppression, and murder.

They also live on our welfare. muslims coming to America are taught to apply for welfare. This means that the tax payers are helping fund the muslim takeover of our country.

Can anyone remember the name of the person who stated something similar about how Muslims were instrumental in the founding of our country or something like that?

So that means Native Americans should hate Muslims, not Italians, for what happened to them.

Seems to me that is a 200% great reason for welfare reform – and let’s go back to the days where you had to have a sponser if you wanted to immigrate and must.have a legitimate JOB…NO HANDOUTS from American Taxpayers!

BTW- what (again) is BROKEN in our immigration LAWS???? I have been waiting for some explanation ….Obama won’t tell us…he just makes stuff up…in other words – Lies!

@another+vet: It was that slick history book I referenced in comment #1.
After it was out quite a few Canadian and American public schools were given copies of it as well as other books referencing it to back up the ideas that;
1.most of Columbus’ crew were Muslims
2.many cities, rivers and mountains were named Arabic names by natives who were descendants of Muslims.
3.many Indian words and names were also Arabic.
All of this drivel was taken out of public school textbooks within a few years.

It depends on what side of the fence you are on (pun intended). The broken part is that the democrats want to allow people to just walk into the USA and become democrat voters. obama too, wants the voters, but his muslim terrorist friends can’t just walk into the USA without the risk of being caught, and some of them have been. He wants them to just walk in without any fear of being caught.

Would somebody please explain to me why the republicans haven’t closed the border, knowing that known terrorists have been caught walking in? Why are they allowing known terrorist to just walk into the USA? Think about that. They are taking big business donations intended to let illegals walk in for the cheap labor, knowing that terrorists have been walking in this way.

Erdogan just topped this.
(If you’re a women, that is.)
He is in the process of making both abortion and adultery illegal in Turkey.
He is demanding all females have AT LEAST three children.
He calls ”motherhood” the only real occupation females should aspire to.
He says, ”You cannot put women and men on an equal footing.
It is against nature.
They were created differently.
Their nature is different.
Their constitution is different.
Motherhood is the highest position.”

Turkey went Islamist after years of being secular.
This is the result.
Women there are even being discouraged from wearing their traditional colored scarves as partial hair coverings in favor of more Islamic black covers that hide every hair.
