You can say "Don't be mean to Muslims" without making up a whole new history of the United States.
But that's not what Joe Biden's Twitter intern decided to do:
I love how his intern threw those last two lines in there so they could call you mean-spirited if you disagree with that bombshell of an opening claim.
You don't have to be a history buff to recall that there were no Mohammeds signing the Declaration of Independence.
Sure, Jefferson believed in religious liberty for all, including the "Mahamdan," George Washington said he'd welcome "Mohometans" to Mount Vernon if they were good workers, and thousands of African slaves were culturally Muslim due to Islamic conquests centuries before (and the Muslim slave traders that sold them to the Americas), but the idea that Islamic culture had any influence on the founding of America is laughable.
Perhaps the greatest contribution Muslims made to the signing of the Declaration was stealing their numbering system from India before the Europeans stole it from them, which is why Jefferson wrote "1776" instead of "MDCCLXXVI."
So why does Biden need to make up a blatant lie in order to make his point? All it does is undermine the legitimacy of your message and leave you as open for attack by anyone who has a lick of common sense.
Our country was founded on Christian values. Forget whether or not we are a Christian nation right now, all of the Founding Fathers lived in a civilization that was built on 1) The migration of Christian pilgrims seeking Christian liberty, 2) English Common Law built upon biblical law and values, 3) Christian missionaries obeying Jesus in preaching the Gospel to people all over the world, and 4) the bedrock of Christian philosophers, reformers, and thinkers who had shaped European civilization for two millennia.
"Is it not that in the chain of human events, the birthday of the nation is indissolubly linked with the birthday of the Savior? – that it forms a leading event in the progress of the Gospel dispensation? Is it not that the Declaration of Independence first organized the social compact on the foundation of the Redeemer's mission upon earth? – that it laid the cornerstone of human government upon the first precepts of Christianity?" – John Quincy Adams
"While we are zealously performing the duties of good citizens and soldiers, we certainly ought not to be inattentive to the higher duties of religion. To the distinguished character of Patriot, it should be our highest glory to add the more distinguished character of Christian." – George Washington
(There are literally thousands of more quotes like that, my friends.)
Islam was hardly on anyone's mind when this country started. The first time it even became relevant was when Americans needed to understand why Muslim pirate ships were attacking their own ships.
