摘要

In Thomas Jefferson and the Tripoli Pirates: The Forgotten War that Changed American History, Brian Kilmeade and Don Yeager identify the challenge to the new nation and its president-the U.S. was a "collection of Muslim nations." The authors recognize the element of Islam in every connection-whether negotiation or battle. In a letter the book quotes from John Adams to Jefferson in February 1786, and other communications between the former and current president, the Tripoli ambassador to London, Sidi Haji Abdrahaman, is reported to have said that " 'all nations which had not acknowledged the prophet were sinners, whom it was the right and duty of the faithful to plunder and enslave.' Christian sailors were, plain and simple, fair game." Adams went on to say that, "In his culture, the takers of ships, the enslavers of men, the Barbarians who extorted bribes for safe passage were all justified by the teaching of the prophet Muhammad. It was 'written in our Quran,' he said simply,'" and " 'every musselman [Muslim] who was slain in this warfare was sure to go to Paradise.'"
