else if Muslims had already been in extensive land now called America, far several centuries before the arrival of Columbus that claim as a discoverer of America. The fact is most easily found with a similar name as the Muslim holy city of Mecca in Indiana, Medina in Idaho, Medina in New York, Medina and Hazen in North Dakota, Medina in Ohio, Medina in Tennessee, Medina in Texas the largest with a population of 26.000 , Medina Canada in Ontario, Mahomet in Illinois town, Mona in Utah, and Arva in Ontario Canada, and several names such as California (Caliph Haronia), Alabama (Alah Bumnya), Arkansas (Arkan-valid) and Tennessee (Tanasuh), T God Hassee (Tallahassee), Alhambra, Islamorada and about 500 other city name comes from the Arabic word.

distortion of Islamic History American
History during this official said that Christopher Columbus who discovered the vast lands that came to be called Americans. This was not true. Since 70 years before Columbus set foot in America, the land he thought India, Muslims from China named Admiral Ceng Ho (Zheng He) has landed in America. Even centuries before Ceng Ho, Muslim sailors from Spain and West Africa have made the villages in the United States and assimilated peacefully with the locals there. America is not the inventor of Columbus.American inventors are Muslims. They were married to locals, the Indians, so it becomes part of the local-American genius.
There is some literature that departs from the empirical facts that Muslims already living in America centuries before Columbus arrived. One of the most popular is the essay of Dr.. Youssef Mroueh, of the Preparatory Commitee for International Festivals to celebrate the millennium of the Muslims arrival to the Americas, 1996, entitled "Precolumbian Muslims in America".
In essays, Doctoral Mroueh writes, "Numerous facts show that the Muslims of Spain and Africa West arrived in America at least five centuries before Columbus. In the mid-10th century, during the reign of the Umayyad Caliph, that Abdurrahman III (929 - 961M), the Muslims who came from West Africa to sail from the port Delbra (Palos) in Spain, through the "ocean of darkness and fog". After disappearing for a while, they returned with a treasure of the country are "unknown and strange".There are Muslims who live lives in the new country, and these are the first wave of imigram Muslims in America. "
Granada, last stronghold of Muslims in Europe fell in 1492. In the mid-16th century there was a massive force ruthlessly against Jews and Muslims to embrace the Catholic religion, which is known in history as the Spanish Inquisition. At that time the state of Jews and Muslims is very sad, because the persecution of the Roman Catholic Church conducted by the Inquisition. There are three kinds of attitudes Jews and Muslims in the face of inkusisi it:
* First, who do not want to switch religions. As a result they were tortured and then executed with burnt or placed on the cross.
* Second, switch to the Roman Catholic religion. They were also monitored whether it changed its religion seriously or not. Group of Muslims who converted were called Morisko group, while that of Judaism called the Marrano.
* Third, fled or emigrated across the Atlantic Ocean which was formerly called the dark and foggy. This is the second wave of immigrant groups in the new country.
persecution reached its peak during Pope Sixtus V (1585-1590). There are at least two documents concerning this inkusisi. The first, the Spanish King Carlos V in 1539 issued a decree banning residents migrated to Latin America for the descendants of Muslims who condemned and burned at the stake was executed. The second decree was ratified in 1543, and accompanied by the expulsion orders Muslims out of the Spanish colony across the Atlantic ocean. This is historical evidence of the existence of a second wave of Muslim immigrants before 1543 (the decree). There is much literature that proves the presence of the first wave of Muslims to America long before the days of Columbus. Evidence that, among others:
* Abul-Hassan Ali Ibn Al-Hussain Al-Masudi is an expert on the history and geography who lived from 871-957 AD In his work entitled "ADH-dhahab Muruj maad aljawhar wa" (Cover Gold and Gem Mine), Abu Hassan writes that during the reign of Caliph Abdullah Ibn Mohammed (888-912), Muslim explorer Ibn Khasykhasy Sa'ied Ibn Aswad of Cordova, Spain, had sailed from Delba (Palos) in 889, crossed the ocean a dark and foggy and reach a foreign country (al-ard majhul) and again with the amazing treasures. Al-Masudi on the map of the sprawling country are called by al-ard majhul. [Al-Masudi: Muruj Adh-Dhahab, Vol. 1, P. 1385]
* Loe Weiner, an expert in history from Harvard University, in his book "Africa and the Discovery of America" (1920) wrote that Columbus has to know the presence of Muslims who spread an area of the Caribbean, North and Central America, including Canada. They traded marriage and had to assimilate with the Indians of the Iroquois and Algonquin tribes.
* geographer and cartographer named Al-Sharif Al-Idrisi (1099 - 1166) wrote in his famous book Nuzhat al-Musytaq Ikhtiraq fi al-Afaaq ( Excursion of the Love Wading Ufuq) that a group of sailors from North Africa Ocean sailing dark and foggy from Lisbon (Portugal) in order to get what's in the ocean behind it, how wide and where the limit. They found that the inhabitants of the island farming and has used the Arabic language.
* The anthropologists have found inscriptions in Arabic in the valley of the Mississippi and Arizona. From the inscription tells that immigrants also brought elephants from Africa. (Winters, Clyde Ahmad: Islam in Early North and South America, Al-Ittihad, July 1977, p.60)
* Columbus wrote that on Monday, October 21, 1492, while he was sailing near Gibara on the southeastern coast of Cuba, Columbus witness mosque in the beautiful hill-top. The ruins of several mosques and minarets, and writing verses in the Qur'an have been found in various places such as Cuba, Mexico, Texas, and Nevada. (Thacher, John Boyd: Christopher Columbus, New York 1950)
* Dr. Barry Fell of Harvard University wrote that scientific evidence has shown that many centuries before Columbus, the Muslims have settled in the New Continent of North and West Africa. Dr. Fell to get the Islamic schools in the Valley of Fire, Allan Springs, Logomarsino, Keyhole, Canyon, Washoe, and Hickison Summit Pass (Nevada), Mesa Verde (Colorado), Mimbres Valley (New Mexico) and Tipper Canoe (Indiana) in 700-800 years. (FellL, Barry: Saga America, New York, 1980] and Gyr, DONALD: Exploring Rock Art, Santa Barbara, 1989).
Traces of the Muslim American Heritage
Along the American continent we will be able to get traces of the Muslims first and second wave, long before the arrival of Columbus. See a map of today's American-made Rand McNally and look at the names of places in America. In downtown Los Angeles there is the name of the Alhambra, as well as the names of El Morro and Alamitos Bay, and the names of places such as Andalusia, Attilla, Alla, Aladdin, Albany, Alcazar, Alameda, Alomar, Almansor, Almar, Alva, Amber, Azure, and La Habra.
In the middle of America, from southern Illinois to have the names of the city of Albany, Andalusia, Attalla, Lebanon, and Tullahoma. In the state of Washington for example, there is the city of Salem. Then in the Caribbean (this is definitely the word Arab) and Central America for example there is the name of Jamaica, the island of Cuba (derived from the Quba?) With its capital La Habana (Havana), and the islands of Grenada, Barbados, Bahamas, and Nassau.
In South America there is the name of the cities of Cordoba (in Argentina), Alcantara (in Brazil), Bahia (in Brazil and Argentina). The names of the Appalachian mountains (Apala-che) on the east coast and the mountains on the west coast Absarooka. Major cities in Ohio at the mouth of the river Wabash long and meandering named Toledo, an Islamic university name when Islam still prevail in Andalusia, Spain.
According to Dr. Youssef Mroueh, there are now no less than 565 place names in North America, both in the state, cities, rivers, mountains, lakes, and villages are taken from the name of Islam or the name of the root word of Arabic. A total of 484 in the United States and 81 in Canada. This is incontrovertible evidence that Islam has been there before Columbus landed. Dr. A. Zahoor even asserted that the name of the state like Alabama, actually comes from the word of God-bamya, and also state the name Arkansas comes from the Arkan-sah, and Tennessee from Tanasuh said.
Dr. Mroueh also wrote some of the names he noted even the name of our holy city like Mecca in Indiana, Medina in Idaho, Medina in New York, Medina and Hazen in North Dakota, Medina in Ohio, Medina in Tennessee, Medina in Texas most of the population 26.000, in Ontario Canada Medina, Mahomet in Illinois town, Mona in Utah, and Arva in Ontario Canada.
When Columbus landed in the Bahamas on October 12, 1492, the island was named Guanahani by its inhabitants. This word comes from Mandika which is derived from Arabic. Reported by Columbus that the natives here are friendly and helpful. Guana, which today is still widely used as a name in Central America, South and North, Ikhwana derived from the word meaning "brother" in Arabic.
Guanahani means a family where brothers Hani. But Columbus was falsely named the place as San Salvador and seized possession of the island on behalf of the Spanish empire. Columbus wrote in his notes that on October 21, 1492 he saw a mosque and minaret rerunruthan complete with writing the verses of the Qur'an have been discovered except in Cuba, also in Mexico, Texas, and Nevada.
Perlayaran across the Atlantic from Morocco also noted by explorers sea Shaikh Zayn-Eddin Ali bin Fadhel Al-Mazandarani. His ship departed from Tarfay in Morocco at the time of Sultan Abu-Yacoub Sidi Youssef (1286 - 1307), the sixth ruler of the dynasty Marinid. His boat landed at Green Island in the Caribbean Sea in the year 1291. According to Dr. Mroeh, travel records to be referenced by many Islamic scholars.
Sultan, sultan of the kingdom of Mali in West Africa which had its capital in Timbuktu, was also traveling alone to the American continent. Addin Chihab historian Abul-Abbas Ahmad bin Fadl Al Umari (1300 - 1384) noted very carefully the various expeditions. Timbuktu is now forgotten, was once a center of civilization, a library and an advanced science in Africa. Land and sea travel expeditions made many people began to Timbuktu or Timbuktu. Sultan noted wandered up to the new continent at that time was Sultan Abu Bakari I (1285 - 1312), brother of Sultan Mansa Kankan Musa (1312 - 1337), who has made two expeditions across the Atlantic to the Americas and even down the river Mississippi.
Sultan Abu Bakari I do exploration in Central America and the north along the Mississippi river between the years 1309-1312. The explorer is in Arabic.Two centuries later, the discovery of America in color maps Piri immortalized Re'isi made in 1513, and presented to the king of the Ottoman Sultan Selim I (1517). This map shows the western hemisphere, South America and even Antarctica, with the accurate depiction of coastal Brazil.
Indian and Islamic
Some of the names of Indian tribes and tribal chief is also derived from the Arabic root word, such as: Anasazi, Apache, Arawak , Cherokee (Shar-kee), Arikana, Chavin Cree, Makkah, Hohokam, Hupa, Hopi, Mahigan, Mohawk, Nazca, Zulu, and Zuni. Head of the famous Cherokee Indians, whose real name Sikwoya Sequoyah, a tribal leader who is very famous because he created sillabel letters (Cherokee Syllabary) for the Indians in 1821. His name is immortalized as the name of the tallest Redwood trees in California, can now be seen in a protected forest park north of San Francisco.
sequoyah2Berlainan with the stereotypical image of Indians who always wore feathers on his head colorful, like a lot of Western artists depicted during this time, Sequoyah (see figure) is always wearing a turban. He was not alone, there are many Indian chiefs wearing Muslim-style headgear.They are the Chippewa, Creek, Iowa, Kansas, Miami, Potawatomi, Sauk, Fox, Seminole, Shawnee, Sioux, Winnebago, and Yuchi. Even some of them wearing the typical Arab headdress as shown in the photographs in 1835 and 1870
American Indian people also hold the divinity of the trust in a God who controls the whole universe, and God is not felt by the five senses. They also believe that the main task of human beings created by God is to adore and worship him. As a chief Ohiyesa narrative: "In the life of the Indians, there was only Inevitable duty-the duty of prayer, the daily recognition of the Unseen and the Eternal". In the Qur'an, we are told that the purpose of creation of man and jinn is solely in order to worship Allah SWT.
German art historian, Alexander Von Wuthenau, in his classic book "Unexpected Faces in Ancient America" (1975); and Ivan Van Sertima with the book "They Came Before Columbus" (1976) and also edited the book "African Presence In Early America" in which French intellectuals of the 19th century Brasseur de Bourboug in situ revealed the presence of Muslims in Central America, which also Ramos supported essei of PV in the same book about the existence of 'Mohemmedans' in Caribbean (Carib) who encountered Columbus. Some other literature that can be traced to about the same thing among other archaeologists and linguists from Howard Barraclough (Barry) Fell titled "Saga America" (1980), Colin Taylor (editor) "The Native Americans" (1991); and British Orientalist De Lacy O'Leary wrote "Arabic Thought and It's Place In Western History" (1992).
One of the books have been translated into Indonesian works of Gavin Menzies, a former sailor who published the results penelusurannya, find a map of the four islands in the Caribbean made in 1424 and signed by Zuane Pissigano, cartographers of Venice. This means that the map was made 68 years before Columbus landed in America. Two islands on the map is then identified as Puerto Rico and Guadalupe. Menzies also noted that Admiral Zheng He (Ceng Ho), a Chinese Muslim Lkasamana, has landed in America in 1421, 71 years earlier than Columbus. Five centuries earlier, Ibn Saeed Ibn Aswad Khaskhas also have set foot in America.Clearly, American same inventor seklai not Columbus, but the pioneers of the world voyage, the sailors accomplished Islam.
