Keith Ellison, who will become the first Muslim member of Congress next month, has offended some conservatives with his plan to use the Quran during his ceremonial swearing-in.

The decision by Ellison, D-Minn., to use the Muslim holy book for the ceremony instead of the Bible triggered an angry column by Dennis Prager on the Web site Townhall.com this week.

Headlined, "America, Not Keith Ellison, decides what book a congressman takes his oath on," Prager argued that using the Quran for the ceremony "undermines American civilization."

"Insofar as a member of Congress taking an oath to serve America and uphold its values is concerned, America is interested in only one book, the Bible," he wrote. "If you are incapable of taking an oath on that book, don't serve in Congress."

Conservative bloggers have picked up the criticism and run with it.

Here's a link with English chapters of the Quran. Scroll down and you will see a link for each chapter.

You said: "The Congressman from Minnesota will either be a very BAD Muslim deserving Islamic punishment or death, or a very BAD Congressman deserving punishment and removal. "

Actually I like the first option for either scenario.
Maybe then all of those A**holes, Dem and Rep would actually do the will of the people and not the will of the special interests.
