If she had bothered to educate herself she’d know Jefferson got that Quran to study the enemy and kick their asses.

That is either a willful lie or an demonstration of abject ignorance. Jefferson did not see Islam as the enemy. He was committed to inclusiveness before the Barbary Coast matter appeared. The pirates were the enemy He read the Koran to better understand what he was dealing with .
It is True that the Treaty of Tripoli was a failed attempt to appease the Pirates as they were very much akin to todays radical Muslims, but that does not change the fact that Jefferson -like rational people today- did not see all of Islam as the enemy
What Jefferson really thought about Islam.
Spouting pure unadulterated ignorance seems to be your forte. You obviously have a puerile comprehension of anything that requires the use of more than one or two brain cells .
"In 1786, while serving as an Ambassador for the new United States, Jefferson asked Tripoli’s Ambassador to Great Britain what right the Barbary states had that allowed them to kidnap and slaughter the innocent crews of passing merchant ships.
According to Jefferson, Sidi Haji Abdul Rahman Adja replied that Islam “was founded on the Laws of their Prophet, that it was written in their Qur’an, that all nations who should not have acknowledged their authority were sinners, that it was their right and duty to make war upon them wherever they could be found, and to make slaves of all they could take as Prisoners, and that every Musselman [Muslim] who should be slain in battle was sure to go to Paradise.”
In essence, the Ambassador from Tripoli stated that their religion, Islam, gave them the right to kidnap and murder and enslave those who held different beliefs. Jefferson took this information to heart and remembered it well.
He also spent time studying the Koran himself, to gain a better understanding of the enemy his young nation was facing. "
