Obama spoketh, PBTO, to the moon god worshippers who were inviteth into The Whitey House:
As Muslims throughout the United States and around the world celebrate Eid-al-Fitr, Michelle and I extend our warmest wishes to them and their families. This last month has been a time of fasting, reflection, spiritual renewal, and service to the less fortunate. While Eid marks the completion of Ramadan, it also celebrates the common values that unite us in our humanity and reinforces the obligations that people of all faiths have to each other, especially those impacted by poverty, conflict, and disease.
In the United States, Eid also reminds us of the many achievements and contributions of Muslim Americans to building the very fabric of our nation and strengthening the core of our democracy….
Indeed, the Musselmen sold early Americans their slaves…that’s about it in terms of their contribution to the now-defunct United States Of America.
Edward Rutledge from South Carolina:
Molasses to rum to slaves
Oh, what a beautiful waltz,
You dance with us, we dance with you,
In molasses and rum and slavesWho sail the ships outta Boston, laden with Bibles and rum?
Who drinks a toast to the Ivory coast?
Hail, Africa, the slavers have come,
New England with Bibles and rum!Then it’s off with the rum and the Bibles,
Take on the slaves, clink, clink.
Then hail and farewell to the smell
Of the African coast……Whose fortunes are made, in the triangle trade?…
Mr. Adams, I give you a toast!
Hail Boston, hail Charleston!
Who stinketh the most!

Friend In The Ether, M.Thompson, makes a good point in the Comments section:
About the only thing the Moslems have done for the long-term good is to start a war that built up the Navy and Marine Corps, all the way back in 1801.
Indeed.
