"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 tranquillity, 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."
-- Article 11 of the US Treaty with Tripoli, 1797. Read aloud to and passed unanimously by the Senate under President John Adams.
Let's bring that treaty back...
