“The common English translation of Article 11 of the Treaty of Tripoli is considered inaccurate by some historians.”
TL;DR ·Historians identify significant discrepancies between the original Arabic text and the English translation.
The Treaty of Tripoli is often cited in discussions regarding religion in government because of Article 11 . The most common English version, translated by Joel Barlow, claims the U.S. is not in any sense founded on the Christian Religion . However, historians have identified that this English translation is inaccurate when compared to the original Arabic text . The Arabic version of the article contains no such statement, focusing instead on religious opinions not being a pretext for violating the treaty . Because of this discrepancy, some argue the English text was essentially an unofficial addition by Barlow or a specific declaration regarding state establishment . Thus, the clause is viewed by some as an unreliable representation of the original diplomatic agreement .
