TRUCE: Hamas to Stop Firing on Israel For Now

Thomas Jefferson asked the Ambassador from the Muslim Countries of North Africa why the American People was being attacked, enslaved or murdered, when America had never menaced or quarreled with any of the Muslim powers? Thomas Jefferson later reported to the State Department and Congress: ----------------------- "The Ambassador answered us that it was founded on the Laws of their Prophet, that it was written in their Koran, that all nations who should not have acknowledged their authority were sinners, that it was their right and duty to make war upon them wherever they could be found, and to make slaves of all they could take as Prisoners."
