Behold the grand mosque of Mansa Musa. Please notice the use of marble, and elaborate calligraphy.

That mud house you call a grand mosque ? No way near our subcontinent architecture .No doubt indian subcontinent was the richest part of the world

And there were Hindu temples where Mecca's Kaba stands so let us erect a temple right next to it

You are serious or just pulling a wrong statement out of your hindu bharti arse ?
@WebMaster please take action against him for trolling and religious flaming .

@Star Wars using your logic, no reason why this should not be belived

Go read your history dummy. Have you gotten a peek inside the kabba? Read up and then talk to me. There is a reason you can't see inside.

Btw if you are that I inflamed by this assertion how cone no bop or beep over ksa destroying the very house your prophet died on and was buried? I posted a you tube of that on some other thread here

Because , Vikings were the first to discover America , that was before Muslims .. Besides how do you discover something which was already inhabited by other humans ?

UNDERWATER EXPLORING IS BANNED IN BRAZIL - NYTimes.com
And of course there is supposed to be a Roman ship wreck in the Bay of Rio off the brazil coast,

And again there are supposed to be traces of pheonicians in Brazil (though this is likely a mix of missinterpretation and deliberate fraud)

In the end Columbus was a jackass who claimed something he had no clue off

Forget traces shmaces. Erodgan say so, so it must be true!

Watch the video genius , its entirely possible that Muslims did reach America . Would not be surprising at all but they did not discover it . So yea i keep my mind open to them actually reaching America . But then you would go mental because i spoke against your Western believes .

According to this person who was debating with me the Malinese fellow was richer than all Indian and Persian kings.One look at his mosque and you can guess how rich he was.

Erdogan ,
what a Turkish tragedy. I am sure he will claim first Ottoman claim on the moon landing as well.

Then he'll follow all that up with saying how the Native americans were worse than Shias so they deserved whatever happened to them.

 

[Irfan Baloch]

tragedy?? for turning turkey into a world power??? when he took over turkey was nothing but another third world poor country… after erdogan turkey better then eu.

well he can kiss his EU membership application goodbye

Entire countries in South East Asia have the same resemblance in physical appearance. Did China discover them too?

All ancient civilisations believed in more or less same cultural beliefs of the fertile goddess which bless them with good crops, the gods who bring rains and good weather etc. These things were needed because they were an agrarian society.

Chinese had the sailing capacities.

Off course he said "Namaste "

I think they did that is why Columbus though they are Indians. lol

Back to serious discussion. The claim here is spurious because it is backed up by no well recorded claim. Moreover, unlike most of western history.. a lot of History regarding the "Golden Age" of Islam was lost to the Mongols. Perhaps there was a sailor from that age who may have had contact with the inhabitants of the Americas and may have returned to report on them.
But then again, the same loss can be said of the Library of Alexandria.. perhaps there was a expedition under ancient Egypt as well that may have found the Americas. But for the western(European) world.. Columbus was the man who found the Americas.. and found no proof of a mosque otherwise as spuriously claimed.
