"It's a simple incontrovertible fact that Islam (and it's Sharia law) is incompatible with western civilization"

Actually, that's a lie spread by Islamophobic cretins.

American Revolution and thereafter[ edit]Records from the American Revolutionary War indicate that at least a few Muslims fought on the American side. Among the recorded names of American soldiers are "Yusuf ben Ali" and "Bampett Muhamed". [22]

...
Two hundred and ninety-two [32] Muslims are known to have fought during the Civil War. The highest ranking Muslim officer during the War was Captain Moses Osman. [33] Nicholas Said, formerly enslaved to an Arab master, came to the United States in 1860 and he found a teaching job in Detroit. In 1863, Said enlisted in the 55th Massachusetts Colored Regiment in the United States Army and rose to the rank of sergeant. He was later granted a transfer to a military hospital, where he gained some knowledge of medicine. His Army records state that he died in Brownsville, Tennessee, in 1882. [34] Another Muslim soldier from the Civil War was Max Hassan, an African who worked for the military as a porter. [35]

The first country to recognize the United States as an independent nation was the Sultanate of Morocco, under its ruler Mohammed ben Abdallah, in the year 1777
