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?

Although Dr. Fell's work has been discounted by many scientists, mainly because he is a marine biologist, not an archaeologist, there is evidence of Muslim influence in the Americas. It has been proposed that these influences are due to both the influx of Muslims from Spain and Muslims from Africa.

As for old Chris Columbus, it's pretty well accepted that he was not the first to arrive here from a foreign shore. There are remnants of ancient settlements in Canada, presumably from Nordic sources.

As far as your question, "Can westerners accept historical facts about pre-America and Islam?" My answer is yes, but these "facts" have not been proven beyond my own personal doubts.

Because these 'many researchers' are much like the 'researchers of alien abductions, ancient UFO visitors, bigfoot, etc. - namely THEY LIE. None of the 'evidence' they cite actually exists, or indicates what they pretend it does.

If you want to make a case that Chinese explorers set foot on the west coast about 300 years before Columbus, there is viable evidence (look it up). This Muslim nonsense sounds a lot like African (racist) revisionism trying to claim the ancient Egyptians were black. (Fact is, they were Semitic.)

You raise a valid point. Most of the history has been distorted. In India , historians are finding out that Aryan invasion never occurred.
The whole point is that invaders always have the upper hand in writing history. Don't worry...you watch things change now. Eastern countries are becoming stronger and once these countries become developed, then history will change.

Wait for that day....

Things are already changing. American economy is going down the hill. India and China are at the verge of becoming superpower.
All the brain power is in East...

I had not heard this. Its interesting information. If there's evidence and proof I accept it. Why not? A fact is a fact.
