Video Transcript AI Summary
In the late 1700s, the United States faced the issue of its sailors being taken as slaves by the Barbary states in North Africa. Around 1.5 million European and American slaves were estimated to have been taken between 1750 and 1850. Thomas Jefferson and John Adams confronted the ambassador in London, questioning why this was happening. The ambassador's response was that the Quran permitted them to do so because the Americans were considered infidels. In response, Jefferson sent a navy to crush the Barbary states.

And the ambassador said very plainly, mister Abdul Rahman, said, because the Quran gives us permission to do so, because you are infidels, and that's our answer.
And Jefferson said, well, in that case, I will send a navy which will crush your state, which he did. Islamic fundamentalism is not created by American democracy. It's a lie to say so. It's a masochistic lie, and it excuses those who are the real criminals, and it blames us for the tax made In seventeen
