This is unequivocally 100% false. Islamic states are the first and oldest enemies of the United States.
In 1794, in response to Algerian seizures of American ships, Congress authorized construction of the first 6 ships of the U.S. Navy. In 1801, the Pasha of Tripoli, Yusuf Qaramanli, citing late payments of tribute, demanded additional tribute and declared war on the United States. The United States successfully defeated Qaramanli’s forces with a combined naval and land assault by the United States Marine Corps.
This is unequivocally 100% false. Islamic states are the first and oldest enemies of the United States.
I've been preaching this for years. Hell, the Marine Corp hymn starts with the lyrics, "From the Halls of Montezuma To the shores of Tripoli.."
And the sword Marine officers still carry.
