In 1796 American diplomats drafted the Treat of Tripoli, in Arabic, in order to stop Muslims from murdering and enslaving American sailors simply because they were non-muslims and within the doctrine of violent Jihad.
The language of the treay says it all, and is haunting:
"Art. 11. As the Government of the United States of America is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion; as it has in itself no character of enmity against the laws, religion, or tranquillity, of Mussulmen; and, as the said States never entered into any war, or act of hostility against any Mahometan nation, it is declared by the parties, that no pretext arising from religious opinions, shall ever produce an interruption of the harmony existing between the two countries." http://www.stephenjaygould.org/ctrl/treaty_tripoli.html
Notice that America is asking "that no pretext arising from religious opinions (Quran - Jihad), shall ever produce" war, as it does now!
