From the Treaty of Tripoli, signed in 1796/1797 by President John Adams and unanimously ratified by the Senate.
As the Government of the United States of America is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion,—as it has in itself no character of enmity against the laws, religion, or tranquility, of Mussulmen,—and as the said States never entered into any war or act of hostility against any Mahometan nation, it is declared by the parties that no pretext arising from religious opinions shall ever produce an interruption of the harmony existing between the two countries.
In your face, Bryan Fischer of the American Family Association. Who is an enormous asshole.
