He also made his version of the NT without any of the "miracle" parts. He was a fan of Jesus Christ but not necessarily the religion. Hot takes for sure. Back when Americans used to think a lot instead of the braindead queefs itt

Yeah man, the country in which the ruling pedophilic demonic cabal is currently being revealed definitely could have never been founded by a man from an era in which Islam was fetishized by the educated elite and from the country whose first peace treaty was signed with a Muslim nation

Muslims and progressives try to take too much from this. I guess they try to imply that he was a secret Muslim or even had some profound respect for Islam? He was an ambassador to the Barbary states so he got a Qu'ran to help him understand the people he was going to be interacting with.
