...explicit permission to lie to non-believers so any oath taken on it would be pointless.Exactly! Keep that thing out of our courtrooms.

An Islamic civil rights and advocacy group is calling on North Carolina judges to allow people to use the Koran when taking an oath, saying the use of the Bible exclusively represents "an inappropriate state endorsement of religion." What Sura (?) says that, "take their oaths," and "break them after the hudnah is signed."
I really enjoy the Quran. Gives a clear picture of what Islam is really about.
Hey jihadis, we are coming to get some. Hopefully the U.S. military can separate the chaff from the wheat. If not, well, life's a beeotch.

CAIR won't be satisfied until Sharia is the law of the land and we're all either Islamists or dead. IMO.

No, we will end up swearing on nothing.
I started thinking the same thing. At first I thought it seemed like a good solution, but then I realized that it's synonymous with every other removal of the mention of God in our society. IMHO, it would be an affront to our heritage. If they push it, however, it'll probably happen, considering our court system's love for broadening the establishment clause.

I kind of agree. If you can use the Bible, you should be allowed to use whatever holy book you desire.Are you out of your mind? I hope you wore flame retardant undies today! LOL! You know how much we all HATE Islam, don't you?

I will choose death. I will not live under Sharia. I will choose to inflict death. I will not live under Sharia.

OK, so I guess I just have to say this is my friend a Marine who is no longer in active service. Seems a little cumbersome as compared to ex-marine but OK I can really apprecaite the dedication to the brotherhood of Marines and have been admonished before by my friend about the ex-marine thing.
To: SittinYonder
in Georgia witnesses don't swear on a Bible at all.
I didn't know that; thanks for the info.

Lawyer swears in witnesses: do you swear to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth
so help you God
There is the phrase at the end ... I don't want to be misleading.

What the heck do you call Marines who are no longer in the service?My father (WWII, Korea, Vietnam) calls himself a retired Marine.
To: Ignatius J Reilly
In my experience, the term you are looking for is "Former Marine."

"An oath of the Quran is not a lawful oath under our law," said
W. Douglas Albright, Guilford's senior resident Superior Court judge. According to
state law, swearing an oath constitutes putting one's hand on the "Holy Scriptures."
Have we finally found a judge you disagree with?

Good reply. It's either them or us; I replied as I did because I am currently an "unarmed" citizen.

I don't think allowing them to swear on their particular holy book is going to make the whole world islamic. Maybe not right away.
Do you remember back in the sixties? A group of people asked politely if restaurants would set aside a few tables where they, the non-smokers could sit. We fell for it, and look what has happened to the smoker, who has the same freedoms you do, or had!

No. You are never unarmed. You may not have a gun, but there are thousands of ways to visit death on those who would destroy you, your loved ones, or our beloved country.
