They were the Native Americans that greeted the pilgrims when they landed on Plymouth Rock
<span>The modern American economy traces its roots to the quest of European settlers for economic gain in the 16th, 17th, and 18th centuries. The New World then progressed from a marginally successful colonial economy to a small, independent farming economy and, eventually, to a highly complex industrial economy.
During this evolution, the United States developed ever more complex institutions to match its growth. And while government involvement in the economy has been a consistent theme, the extent of that involvement generally has increased.</span>
As a muslim, I can positively say that Islam does have the pre-Islamic Arabian influences, such as loose clothing to prevent the body's curves from showing, not consuming alcohol or eating pork of obtaining animal's blood. However, there are practices that are different. Such as believing in one God, not worshipping any idol, object, or person. Believing God have no children or a wife, neither does he have any family. He is one and only, no one is like him. Not talking to a non-marram, or someone who's not your close family such as cousins, uncles, aunts, husband , or wife. Not taking intrest, since that's not your own earned money. Also praying five times a day and fasting in Ramadan. P,u'd giving as much charity as possible. If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.
