Why Muslims are under rated.

[Sami_23]

GOOD GOD! Has anyone told the Mormons about this? Someone run out and find one, please, they have to know they got it all wrong. It wasn't Jesus that visited America, it was Muhammad on a flying horse! It wasn't Jews that settled here, it was Muslims. For fuck's sake!

The last Cherokee's chief (1866) with a Muslim name was --- Ramadhan Ibn Wati. Ramadhan Ibn Wati(popularly known as Stand Watie [1806-71]), who served as a Confederate brigadier general, surrendered his command to the United States on June 23, 1865.

His son Saladin Watie served on Southern Cherokee delegation to Washington, D.C. to sign a new treaty with the United States at the end of Civil War. He died mysteriously at the age of twenty-one. (Saladin is an anglicized name for Salahuddin, the famous Muslim Sultan who liberated Jerusalem from the crusaders in 1187).

Cities across the United States and Canada bear names that are of Indian and Islamic derivation. The name Tallahassee is alleged to have Islamic roots with the word Allah being used. In Cherokee, we refer to ourselves as Ani Getowagi or 'I am a township person " Which is 90% Arabic.

A native American Muslim told us there is a city in Arizona called "Allah".

Perhaps the greatest evidence of Islam amongst the native Americans is in the usage of the personal Holy name of the Lord of Abraham - Allah.

There is no way they could have used the word "ALLAH" unless they had direct contact with Islam since the Holy name of God has been lifted from everyone else.

Not all Indian tribes were following the faith of Islam as we can see from the customs and beliefs which are a part of native history.

Familial Mediterranean Fever, thallasemia and Machado Joseph Disease (also know as Azorean Disease) are all strong indicators that Melungeons are indeed of mixed Middle Eastern, North African Arab and African descent.

Even if historians never took seriously the Melungeon claim to be Portuguese or Moorish(Spanish Muslim), the medical and genetic work cannot be so easily dismissed.

The descendants of the Melungeon people are everywhere, especially those who have ancestors from the SE US, of any race with the following surnames: Adams, Adkins, Bell, Bennett, Berry, Bowling, Chavis, Coleman, Collins, Gibson, Goins, Hall, Jackson, Lopes, Moore, Mullins, Nash, Robinson, Sexton and Williams. As a result of continuing research, several American celebrities have recently discovered their Melungeon roots.

Many Melungeons are excited to learn that, though they themselves are Christians, their ancestors were Muslims, and what they accomplished.

This realization put into better focus the prejudices that their people have suffered, not only the older members of their families, but still living ones.

A Melungeon lady suffering because of the dark color of her skin, or a Melungeon male being attacked by two men in Blacksburg VA in 1980 because they thought he was Iranian, or another being detained as a suspected Palestinian at an Israeli border crossing while visiting the Holy Land with his family. All these things have impact, and point out the insanity of prejudice based on one's physical characteristics.

The Melungeons were Americans and Christians.

But it did not matter, because the rest of World was caught up in its preset prejudices.

The Melungeons experience shows that even if kinship may not be seen on the surface, its there.

The Melungeons - victims of an early form of ethnic cleansing- are the ancestors of a significant number of present day Americans.
