  16. George Washington's Farewell Address, delivered in 1796, strongly emphasized non-interventionism as a cornerstone of American foreign policy. He cautioned against forming permanent alliances with foreign nations and getting involved in their conflicts. Washington believed that such entanglements could compromise the nation's sovereignty and lead to unnecessary wars. Instead, he advocated for a policy of neutrality and diplomacy, allowing the United States to focus on its internal development and avoid unnecessary foreign entanglements, a principle that has had a lasting impact on U.S. foreign relations.

    Morocco's role as the first foreign ally to the United States during the time of Washington and Jefferson played a significant role in establishing a precedent of American tolerance towards Islam. This alliance, formalized in the 1786 Treaty of Peace and Friendship, demonstrated America's commitment to religious freedom and non-discrimination. It acknowledged the rights of Moroccan Muslims and Jews, setting a precedent for religious tolerance in American foreign relations and shaping the nation's values of inclusivity and diversity.

    Thomas Jefferson's interest in the Quran and Islam was driven by his commitment to religious freedom and understanding. He studied the Quran to grasp the beliefs of Muslims, particularly those in North Africa, with whom the U.S. had diplomatic relations. This knowledge helped him navigate diplomacy and promote tolerance. Jefferson's Quran highlights his dedication to religious pluralism and building respectful relationships with people of different faiths, shaping his approach to diplomacy and governance.

    Thomas Jefferson's copy of the Quran is part of the collections at the Library of Congress in Washington, D.C. It is available for public viewing, and you can visit the Library of Congress to see it for free.

    Several public officials have used Jefferson's Quran for their swearing-in ceremonies to highlight religious diversity and religious freedom. Notably, Keith Ellison, the first Muslim elected to the U.S. Congress, used it during his swearing-in ceremony in 2007.

  31. I do not think the Lord God of Israel will listen to your prayers Muslim people. You hate the children of God. The Lord God of Israel will clean up the earth from everyone who hates His people.

    Psalm 14:4

    Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge, who eat up my people as they eat bread, and do not call on the Lord?

    Jeremiah 8:3

    Then death shall be chosen rather than life by all the residue of those who remain of this evil family, who remain in all the places where I have driven them,” says the Lord of hosts.

    Micah 2:3

    Therefore thus says the Lord: “Behold, against this family I am devising disaster, from which you cannot remove your necks; Nor shall you walk haughtily, for this is an evil time.

  33. All the best to you who mention other countries where genocides took place, and in those days mobile phones were not available like they are now, so they were neither shocked nor acknowledged. Palestine is just that Palestine is even more brutally terrorized, and all because of the ideas of some evil and selfish psychopaths. That's why we are all fighting now, because we have evidence against war crimes and that they never happen again to anyone!Amin🤲🏼
