Jefferson needed to know everything possible about Muslims because he was about to advocate war against the Islamic "Barbary" states of Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia and Tripoli according to Ted Sampley, thus that Quran.
Good article by Ted Sampley.
What Thomas Jefferson learned from the Muslim book of jihad
It is a sad accident of linguistic history that our founders used "religion" when speaking and we use the term "denomination."
And probably many more to come.
Sheesh, I was all set to link it after reading the title (I should have read your reply). Thanks jazusamo. You're way ahead of me. :)

no different that when Hillary said the manger scene of Christ was simply poor people put out by society.........which is ignorant and frankly ,blasphmous.
Democrats today worship the devil and the devil's ways......that is a provable fact.
Glad you were thinking of it, too good an article to miss.
The shallow, uneducated editors of this paper need to go back to school. LOL Sounds like some letters to the editors are in order across the country.

More islamic appeasement from the Dhimini Times
LOL! I guess it's whatever you want to call it.
I think Ellison is a creep. amd Democrats support him for the same reason that vandals deface tombs and topple headstones.
But I have no problem with this creep swearing by the particular book he believes, however evil and nihilistic its message. What are we supposed to do, have him swear on the books of Christianity or Judaism, upon which he spits?
Our own Wahhabi should be a source of unending entertainment over the next few years.
It's somewhat the Republcans' fault he's elected, at any rate: he's in a gerrymandered "black" district, and the Republicans ran a white guy.
But now this jihad supporter, this friend of terrorism, this brother of beheaders, is the new face of the Democrats in Washington. If we can't make lemonade out of a lemon like that, our name is not Free Republic.
d.o.l.
Criminal Number 18F
The only problem is that his oath to office and the country are in conflict with the teachings of the koran that he swore upon.
This book requires the violent murder of all non-Muslims. Unfortunately, there are many in Congress who either don't know, don't care or don't believe. They're more concerned about being afraid of Christians.
BUMP!
Good points, CN 18F. It really doesn't matter what book is used if a person doesn't believe the oath in their heart.
I'm with you on not forcing someone to be sworn in on a book he does not believe in.
I'm bothered by the article making it sound like Jefferson owned a Koran because he admired the teachings in it. This is what makes me mad about our current Republican party. Why are they not straightening out that "little misconception"?
I think it is because they are afraid of being labeled a "racist" by the democrats. It's a great strategy, isn't it?
Thank you, jaz. I KNEW Jefferson did NOT keep a Quran because he believed in it. I just didn't kow WHY he had a copy of it.
"This book requires the violent murder of all non-Muslims. Unfortunately, there are many in Congress who either don't know, don't care or don't believe."
Well, with 534 of them, that should keep him busy for the next two years. Let's hope he takes a page from Congressman William Jefferson(D-La)and keeps their bodies in the freezer so the rest of us will be spared the smell.
