Another book has been issued by another popular right-wing personality in an effort to construct a narrative framing virtually the whole of American history as a war against Islam. "Fox & Friends" co-host Brian Kilmeade joins Glenn Beck as the most popular purveyors of the notion that the infant United States’ 1801 conflict with the Barbary pirates of Islamic North Africa was a war that, in Kilmeade’s words, “we are still fighting.” This effort comes specifically by way of a book-length expansion on the historical episode that Beck had chosen to open his own book, “It IS About Islam,” a thoroughly racist affair I’ve written about previously. Both Beck and Kilmeade portray the slave-taking and plundering pirates as monsters whose threat to Americans was not neutralized until President Jefferson deviated from the diplomatic strategy of Presidents Washington and Adams to take war to the Islamic Maghreb.
