Or is it a crime to state a fact? Why was my similar question deleted? Don't you want to hear the truth? Muslims explored North America at least 300 years before the discovery of the New World by Christopher Columbus, according to many researchers. Dr. Barry Fell, a noted New Zealand archaeologist and linguist of Harvard University showed detailed existing evidence in his work, "Saga America" that Muslims were not only in the Americas before Columbus arrived, but very active there as well. Remnants of mosques found in America and today over 500 city names in America were named after the Muslims. What happened to them?

yes
Barry Fell..."Even the Epigraphic Society, which he founded, has turned their backs to him and his works. Indeed, they do their best to erase him from memory "
that is certainly a reason to make everyone rethink their very existence

We've seen evidence of the Vikings having made it as far as the upper Great Lakes. But muslims? I've spent most of my life studying American history -- well before it was "America" and no where have I ever seen anything as you suggest. Knowing too, that for a college professor, it is a world of "publish or perish" and that evidenced by Professor Churchill out in Colorado, some morons will say just about anything to get their name in the news. You don't have to be smart to earn a doctorate, you just have to have financial backing enough to get you there.
So, let's take a look at the "religion" of Islam. Before Mohammad, the people of that region (Arabia) gave us astrology, astronomy, perfume, art, literature, and algebra. And since Mohammad? Plagiarism, death, destruction and conversion by sword. That region and those who've followed suit has fallen into a great abyss of blackness and has yet to return.

If your other questions were similar to this one, they were deleted because you are ranting and not really asking a question.
To answer all your questions above.
You are suppose to ask a question, not post a fact. The facts are supposed to be posted by the answerers.
I've already said why your question was deleted.
Questions are not suppose to be stating a truth, they should be asking for a truth.
As to what happened to them, beats me.

LIAR.
Fell moved to New Zealand with his mother in the early 1920s, after his father, who was a merchant seaman, died in a shipboard fire. He received his Ph.D. at the University of Edinburgh in 1941, after which he served in the British Army during World War II. In 1946 he returned to New Zealand where he resumed his academic career. In 1964 he joined the Museum of Comparative Zoology at Harvard, where he stayed until voluntary retirement in 1979.
[edit] Epigraphy
Though Fell was an accomplished and respected marine biologist, outside of his academic specialty he is best known for his work on epigraphy. This interest began early in his career with a study of Polynesian petroglyphs published in 1940. However, his most famous work came much later, starting in 1976 with the publication of the book America BC, in which he argued that Old World scripts can be found on rock surfaces and objects throughout North and South America. This was followed in 1980 by Saga America, and in 1982 by Bronze Age America.
As an example of Fell's claims, he and his followers have speculated that Irish monks reached North America centuries before Columbus. This is based on Fell's interpretation, published in 1983, of rock-cut inscriptions located at archaeological sites in West Virginia. According to Fell, these inscriptions narrated the story of Christ's nativity and were written in an old Irish script called Celtic Ogham dating back to the 6th or 8th century AD.
Within the academic community, Fell's claims on epigraphy are not cited in the professional literature and, if addressed at all, universally dismissed.[1] Critics charge him with violating scientific archaeological protocols in order to make fantastic claims of pre-Columbian discoveries to a nonspecialist audience.[citation needed] One example of his linguistic work is his translation of an inscription containing the word "PIA", found on a rockface on Turkey Mountain near Tulsa, Oklahoma. Fell interpreted it as a Punic word meaning "white", and a nearby marking as a line of Ogham reading "GUIN", also meaning white in P-Celtic, asserting that it was a bilingual inscription.[2]

Can you provide a link for your assertions? I know the Vikings were here, and they certainly were not Muslims. Perhaps the Muslims that came over here are like the radical islamist of today, they didn't have any women and children to hide behind and protect them and they ran away.

To state something, doesn't make it fact. Hypothesis' take evidence to bring them to the fruition of fact.
