The Koran is a lie, so use it for all liars to swear on.
makes sense to me to have a muslim swear the quaran, having them swear on the Bible does not instill me with as much hope oof their being truthful than the use of the quoran. In fact we should extend this to other faiths
Jewish - sweart on the Torah
Mormon - Book of Mormon
Hindu - Bahgvad Gita
Atheist - The Basic Writings of Bertrand Russell (?)
etc.
etc.
You're right. That piece of trash does tell them they can lie.
Of course they don't need an excuse to lie. It comes as second nature.
Muslims can swear on a Koran or on a Bible or on their mother's grave, it doesn't make a difference. They will lie anyway.
Because in their "holy book" it is permissible to lie to the infidel.
DON'T YOU UNDERSTAND THIS IS A START. THEY WANT TO MAKE THE WHOLE WORLD ISLAMIC.
NOT IF I CAN HELP IT.
Please see Post 10.
The Islamo-facsists are learning from the fringe left to use our freedoms to destroy us.
Muslims are counting on "fair and tolerant" people like you to achieve victory.
I think that's where we'll end up. Using different books for everyone.
And what about atheists?
No. . .but it will really piss them off.

Hey Reilly. You have the right answer. I won't go near a mosque; I have no known Moslem friends; I sometimes curse Islam; but if this is their assurance of telling the truth (if that is possible), then it is the way to go. I suspect it is already permissible most places to affirm the telling of truth without swearing and without the left hand resting on a book. An alternative book seems a logical extension of that practice.
Re-read my post. I think you made a mistake.
Don't forget Dianetics!
You had to know this was comming some day, I'm just suprised it took this long.
