Among the many incredible things this book does is lay out how the US went from here to the maddening tomfoolery of today…
Text reading “In 1957, Dwight Eisenhower became the first American president to visit a mosque when he spoke at the opening of the Islamic Center of Washington. "I should like to assure you, my Islamic friends, that under the American Constitution, under American tradition, and in American hearts, this Center, this place of worship, is just as welcome as could be a similar edifice for any other religion," he said. "Indeed, America would fight with her whole strength for your right to have here your own church and worship according to your own conscience. This concept is indeed a part of America, and without that concept we would be something else than what we are.””
