Until September 11, 2001, Muslim Americans lived in relative obscurity, largely escaping the notice of historians, sociologists, and policy makers. The advent of the War of Terror catapulted Muslim Americans into the public eye. These communities went from being demographic curiosities to perceived threats. This chapter argues that Islam has as long a history in the United States as Christianity does. Islam came to North America in the late fifteenth century and persisted especially in the Southern colonies among enslaved West African Muslims. Though many commentators try to argue that Islam is foreign to the United States and essentially un-American, this chapter makes the case that Islam and the experiences of American Muslims are critical components of American history.

Jefferson Versus the Muslim Pirates

America’s first confrontation with the Islamic world helped forge a new nation’s character.

 

When I first began to plan my short biography of Thomas Jefferson, I found it difficult to research the chapter concerning the so-called Barbary Wars: an event or series of events that had seemingly receded over the lost horizon of American history. Henry Adams, in his discussion of our third president, had some boyhood reminiscences of the widespread hero-worship of naval officer Stephen Decatur, and other fragments and shards showed up in other quarries, but a sound general history of the subject was hard to come by. When I asked a professional military historian—a man with direct access to Defense Department archives—if there was any book that he could recommend, he came back with a slight shrug.

 

But now the curious reader may choose from a freshet of writing on the subject. Added to my own shelf in the recent past have been The Barbary Wars: American Independence in the Atlantic World, by Frank Lambert (2005); Jefferson’s War: America’s First War on Terror 1801–1805, by Joseph Wheelan (2003); To the Shores of Tripoli: The Birth of the U.S. Navy and Marines, by A. B. C. Whipple (1991, republished 2001); and Victory in Tripoli: How America’s War with the Barbary Pirates Established the U.S. Navy and Shaped a Nation, by Joshua E. London (2005). Most recently, in his new general history, Power, Faith, and Fantasy: America in the Middle East, 1776 to the Present, the Israeli scholar Michael Oren opens with a long chapter on the Barbary conflict. As some of the subtitles—and some of the dates of publication—make plain, this new interest is largely occasioned by America’s latest round of confrontation in the Middle East, or the Arab sphere or Muslim world, if you prefer those expressions.
