<blockquote>
In March 1786, [[Thomas Jefferson]] and [[John Adams]] met in London with Sidi Haji Abdrahaman (the Tripoli ambassador) to ask why Barbary corsairs attacked American ships. The ambassador replied that it was written in the Quran that nations which did not acknowledge the authority of Allah and his Prophet were sinners, making it their right and duty to make war upon them and enslave their captives.</blockquote>
