President Obama recently stressed the contributions that Muslims have made to American culture. I've been puzzling over that ever since, since those contributions haven't received much media attention. But then I realized I was missing The Big One: the actions of the Barbary Pirates, who were conducting jihad on infidel shipping, led to the creation of the U.S. Marine Corps. If that isn't a big contribution, I don't know what is.
