"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 and tranquilities, of Muslim Men; and as the States have 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 nations." -1797, Bay of Tripoli - John Adams, Joel Barlow representing the government of the USA.
