did they teach you about the part where all of those muslims were white dutchmen and irishmen? the barbary war was not technically a real war. barbary pirates were the same as privateers with even less authority. as long as they paid their taxes the empire looked away. bring a jewish, sorry muslim, empire the same concept applied everywhere. all they cared about was collecting their 2-5% jizya or their zakat tithes.  the ottomans even helped the americans advance their interests in the phillipines (late 1800s) when the seamonkies started chimping out.  the problem with islam now is that all of the islamic leaders are just rich donmeh jews.
