Muslims didn't even build or found Turkey's largest, richest, most famous city.

Seems legit.

I've heard people say African Muslims encountered America hundreds of years before Columbus but still.

I've heard that too. That was probably what he was talking about I guess.

Once again, ISH poster provides great context while ridiculing a statement....

Ignoring natives, Leif Erikson made it there somewhere after 986 after Bjarni Herj

The Vikings were the one's that came to America first. Unless they were Muslims, that idiot is still wrong.

Well they were kind of like Muslims. Invading civilized European lands. Raping the women and children and profiteering from the hard work of others. Justifying this all with an ass backwards culture and religion. Then back away and hide when the retaliation comes.

Those "Asians" weren't like the vast majority of Asians today. They were more like European-Asian hybrids. They had both Mongloid and Caucasoid DNA.

True, cant say I know about Viking history. Are only Scandinavians really descended from the Vikings or do England and other North European countries in that category too. I've heard it said that the English are a Germanic people? Not sure, that whole topic is confusing

Well technically Rez is right. The Native Americans in the Americas came from Asia across Siberia but I assume when people mean "discover", they mean recently which in case the Vikings were the first to get there

The English are NOT Germanic people. The English LANGUAGE is a western Germanic language.

And no, the English were not Vikings. The Scandinavian countries like Norway is were the Vikings came from.
