Also, one piece of interesting history for you American history buffs, the first foreign country to recognize the US was a Muslim one.
I learned while in Morocco that it was the first foreign country to recognize the US (all the way back in 1777). The ruler of Morocco at the time decreed the country's ports were safe harbors for American revolutionary ships during the war with England.
