​3. Wearing a veil is not required in Islam?

​Instead, it is more of a custom, depending on where you live. In Saudi Arabia and Iran, it is required; however, there are actually more Muslim countries that outright ban the wearing of the veils than there are that require them. – The New Encyclopedia of Islam

4. 
“Science and math as we know it wouldn't even exist
without Islam?" 

"The Islamic Golden Age caused a revolution in virtually every field of human thought, during which they invented algebra -- and advanced everything from geography and exploration to the arts, architecture, philosophy, urban development, medicine and health” – Cracked.

​5. The Founding Fathers of the United States and Islam go way back?
​

For example, Thomas Jefferson, owned a copy of the Quran, with which he taught himself Arabic. He also hosted the first White House Iftar during Ramadan (Journey into America). Not only that, but Sultan Mohammed ben Abdallah of Morocco was the first world figure to recognize the independence of the United States of America from Great Britain in 1777 (Cracked).
