    Treat of Tripoli, yes?

    I understand what they were doing there when it comes to diplomacy and pointing out the facts about our country’s founding, but I do wonder if they knew about the “People of the Book” thing within Islam.

      Yes, the 1796 Treaty of Tripoli, English version

      I don’t think that much of Congress knew much of anything about Islam, though a few had in fact read a translation of the Koran
