Yah sure, let them swear on a book that tells them it's fine to lie to infidels. Any judge who allowed that should be tarred and feathered .... then run outa town on a rail.

Well, one problem is that the Quran apparently condones lying if it furthers the cause.

This would be hilarious if it weren't so appalling in so many ways.
Swearing to tell the truth by taking an oath on the Koran is an oxymoron. The Koran encourages lying and deception to further the it's murderous goals. How can a person taking such an oath be trusted?

The Quran justifies lying cheating and stealing in order to achieve an ends to a means for the good of Islam... swearing an oath of honesty upon it is meaningless.
To: Zunt Toad
A witness can simply Affirm that the testimony will be true. No need for swearing on any book. A Muslim who is dedicated to the Quran is instructed in it to lie to non-Muslims anyway, so what's the point?

To swear upon a lie only makes a liar certain.

Agreed. The swearing on a book does not make the legal consequences of perjury any harsher. Simply "affirm" all witnesses.
