"Show me just what Mohammed brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached." -Manuel II Paleologus
<< It should be the Bible or nothing. Substitutions should not be allowed. >>
And were it other than a direst attack upon that to which the congressman will be pretending to swear his allegiance, he will have no difficulty nor genuine religious objection to swearing on the Holy Bible. Given that the book the islamists call the "holy" Koran states in the first person in which it all written: (it's their "god" speaking)
"This (koran) is given to prove the veracity of all that was given before (The Holy Bible) but which is "misunderstood" by "the sects;" (Jews and Christians)
So let him swear upon the Holy Bible and if he understands it and we do not? Well -- bully for him! I can handle that! (And keep on seeking understanding, too!)
ah, the sweet amorous embrace of multiculturalism.
