There is a Chinese document known as Sung document records the voyage of Muslim sailors to a land called as Mu-Lan-Pi (America) in 1178. Again this was before columbus.
On Amerigo, this link seems to suggest that he converted to Islam http://www.blurtit.com/q1392129.html
However, I highly doubt that!
I'm glad you do doubt that, for if we go by some of the articles I've seen on my travels around the web, just about every famous and not-so-famous figure in history converted to Islam. Even Charles Darwin apparently converted on his deathbed; presumably when he wasn't nattering to the Lady Hope who never met him, of course.
On Cheng He, I have nothing to say. Presumably he left no extant legacy as far as America is concerned, unlike Ameryk who only gave his name to it (most likely, at least).
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'
