Infact, in Christopher Columbus's memoirs he describes seeing, "a mosque at the top of the hill" in his encounters with the new land.
Spanish Muslims were involved too. If you look at the names of the people who road with Columbus many have Muslim names. They were forced to change them due to the tyranny of Queen Isabella's Spanish Inquisition so Abu Bakr would become Bubbacarr for example. Today the name Booker is a product of that. That's one example.
Infact, Columbus thought the people were from India. They brought a Muslim Arabic translators to try to speak and understand the natives. If you look at cities many have Arabic names. There is even a Mecca, California. Muslims were settled here before Columbus.

Cool. The Mayans were here before that. They worshipped the sun and sacrificed virgins.

Your point?
Z the laidback Virus:
Romans,Vikings and Chinese have also been there before Columbus.Also, some of the statues of the Olmecs (a mexican tribe) posess negroid faces.
The other way around,some Indians apparently reached France in the Roman Time.....they got to give a live performance in the Roman arena,the poor chaps. :-\
