We have freedom of religion in this country. Something not enjoyed in most Muslim ruled nations. I think it is right and proper to have a Koran in the courtroom. I do not regard it as holy but a devout Muslim certainly does. Will this prevent dishonest ones from lying? No more than a Bible prevents dishonest Christians from lying. But it will remind the faithful and honest of the seriousness of their oaths.
...it will remind the faithful and honest of the seriousness of their oaths...
Thank God some of us are thinking clearly here.
WHAT exactly would be lost by allowing Suiceed Al-Bombeer
to swear to tell the truth on his stupid book? Not that it would improve anything- it simply can't make anything worse, as some xenophobes seem to be suggesting. Christians won't be forced to swear allegiance to Allah, for crying out loud.
