LONG AFTER AMERICA'S 1st. ENCOUNTER WITH ISLAM'S BARBARY PIRATES

LONG AFTER AMERICA'S 1st. ENCOUNTER WITH ISLAM'S BARBARY PIRATES . . . & long before Radical Islam's modern terror, our nation's sons and daughters faced the fiercest of Muslim warriors in the steamy jungles and on the desolate beaches of the South Pacific . . . in the Christian Philippines, where the Moro minority often plundered and terrorized . . . . They were warriors who would drug themselves with natural intoxicants and tie their arms and legs to enable extended combat when cut arteries meant mortal wounds, and their raged charges gave our language 'running amok [amuk]' for such attacks that couldn't be stopped. See how the American Navajo woman, Sunny Jefferson (a lady and a knife fighter), petite as she is, deals with this most dangerous of threats in SUNNY OF THE OLD SOUTHWEST. http://curry.virginia.edu/magazine/classnotes/2016/05/13/robert-f-jackson-jr/
