Does he think because Jefferson owned it that's an endorsement of it?
This is so in your face it makes me sick.
And I wonder if there will be a prayer room in the nation's Capitol now.
I must really be stupid... can someone please educate me?
I thought the whole point of taking an "oath" or "swearing" or "affirming" on the Holy Bible was because the Bible commands one to not bear false witness and to let yes mean yes and no mean no (tell the truth).
The koran has a couple of references about telling the truth as well, but very clearly allows lies and deception. They have "taqiyya" and "kitman" for gosh sakes... both doctrines based on the koran and in use right now.
It's not only okay to lie when needed, but obligatory if the ends cannot be gained by honest means!
So, what's the point on taking an oath on the koran? Unless of course this fellow understands that his allegiance is to Allah and Islamic law first and foremost and that it's okay to deceive the infidels to achieve his goals.

Jefferson had many qurans in his library. This was pre-SearsCatologue days.
This man is only doing this to become relevant in the news. He doesnt care about the people he represents. He is only doing this to get on camera. That is it.
So what we need to do here on Freerepublic is just ignore his useless ass.
